All pregnant mamas are gorgeous, IMO. :)

I was opposite of this.  With my last 3 pregnancies I had hyperemesys (I can't spell that) and I vomited 24/7 but still gained the typical amount of weight for me .. 35-40 lbs even though I lost 10+ lbs in the first tri with each of them.

I don't know if I'm going to be a late gainer or what, but at 26 weeks I'm still down a pound.  I didn't have particularly bad morning sickness, but I started off about 15 pounds heavier than my 'normal' weight (I gained this mysterious 15 pounds sometime in the year before getting pregnant).  I really expected to have gained more at this point, but my midwife says all is good, so I'm not going to complain.

Starting to feel pretty mighty! And yes, SEXY! I love my round growing belly and feel much more comfortable in my skin when I'm pregnant vs. non prego.




My dates have changed *again* so this is 22 weeks for me!

Taters, unless you were obese prior to pregnancy, I thought a practitioner would be concerned at with no weight gain. Have you increased calories/ portion sizes? Did you have morning sickness? A low birth weight baby is a risk if no weight gain.

Without a link, I'm having no success finding your stuff on ebay. I was just going to look out of curiosity.

Thanks Tenk!! I just bought a romote shutter for my camera and I'm going to do a maternity self-shoot soon (once the snow melts). I'm used to being on the other side of the camera, so it will be a fun project

Oh geez. Well, it's not like it's a bad thing at all to gain 40 pounds! I gained only 11 with my first (because I was overweight myself to start with), lost a lot of weight between babies and then gained 40+ with number two. It's all good. :)

I think I was technically considered obese, or near it, although that's just according to height/weight charts (I started off at 180 5'5").  I was down to 176 at the beginning of the 2nd trimester and now am at 179.  No significant morning sickness, and my diet is about the same.  I've always eaten very little processed/junk/fastfood.....I'm definitely eating significantly more meat now than ever before.  Eating when I'm hungry. I'm healthy, the babies healthy, I think weight is pretty relative.  Although I was definitely expecting to have gained more by now.

Taters-- if you feel good, and your midwife is not concerned, then I think you're doing just fine. After all, like you said, your appetite is starting to increase, and there's still plenty of opportunity to gain if your body and baby demand it.

[BumkinsMum]

Everyone  is really popping now! So cool. Welcome new mamas! And we really have a set of twins in our DDC yay!

Kitteh love the outfit, looks like you're ready for a day at the beach!

I bought a ton of dresses from OldNavy.com when they go on clearance - plus they have an extra 15% off & free shipping. Some of my dresses were less than $8!!! Since I'm carrying two, I can't find pants that are comfy, everything is too tight on Baby A (he's waaay down there) so I live in dresses!

I love the disparity among us all!  I still have to wear my bella band w/ all of my maternity pants b/c they are all still too big!  I often wonder if my belly will ever grow into them.
