Brilliantly written, I wish such honest and empathetic advice was so freely given when I was a young mum in the 90s. Thank you Jen

I am a plus size woman, up there in age (past 37) and am having triplets.
I would love to read more about plus size and multiple births! Did I miss it?

In reply to Beci. It's common and it's nothing to be embarrassed about if it happens! Best wishes for your pregnancy.

This is not a plus-size question, however I am plus size. But, I’m just asking in general for all pregnant women’s first time. LOL. What if while giving birth, we crap ourselves as well? It’s bad enough, that I’m constipated for the first time in my 30+ years, I’m just scared that my true normal weird lol self will show in delivery. Meaning, before I got pregnant, It was like I was lactose intolerant daily, I always went to the bathroom. What if that happens when my baby comes.. Also, I am only almost at 2 weeks pregnant and have felt a few major changes (This is my first) I am 410 lbs. But I am also tall. Most of the fat is in 1 leg, my butt, hips and stomach. But I feel stretching in my lower abdomen which I have been told is impossible, by other women. But I also know my body, literally. I know every ache and pain, I have actually been told numerous times by every doctor I have ever met that I should become a Doctor LOL. But, Not for me. Anyway…The stretching feel, got it. The nausea without throwing up, got it. The late period, Oh yeah. Haven’t seen that b!tch since March 3rd. Little bit of mood swings not much, swollen stomach & breast. Also, urinating a lot more than I used to.. and My nose is on POINT with smelling out anything. I used to be able to use wax warmers in my home but can’t now. I also used to be able to put perfume on without getting nauseous and now I can’t.. I also took 14 pregnancy test and they all read pregnant. I see a doc Monday to confirm.

In reply to Keeghan.

Yes, getting weighed at each appointment is standard. However, you can always say you don’t want to be weighed – that’s your right. They’ll push back and still, want you to be weighed. So maybe ask if they could please not say the number out loud. Most people don’t anymore, anyway!

Will they weigh you in front of your spouse or anyone that comes to dr visits with you
