Ahem.) and I felt the same way - it was GREAT to have a big belly because I was growing a baby, not because I couldn't stop at one or two nachos. I actually really liked being pregnant - for once people weren't judging me for being big, because you're supposed to big when pregnant!<BR/><BR/>AND, I managed to lose my baby weight pretty quickly, because I was os paranoid about getting gestational diabetes (which, as a PS preggo, the doctors hammer into your head as a possibility), that I didn't gain much overall). Now, the fat girl weight? Still working on that. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-42247126778741920442008-12-18T07:48:00.000-08:002008-12-18T07:48:00.000-08:00I am 29 weeks pregnant, and was already overweight...I am 29 weeks pregnant, and was already overweight pre-pregnancy. I love my pregnant body, especially once I got past that "Is she pregnant or just fat" phase (around 4-5 months). We went through a lot just to get pregnant, so I am enjoying all the changes in my body and am I glad I get to experience this at all. Yes, I am big (and I get told that ALL THE TIME) but it's for a great reason. You're right, it IS freeing. I don't even mind when people want to grab my belly, as long as they ask first. ;)<BR/><BR/>I had a doctor YEARS ago tell me that I needed to lose weight because I was going to be miserable and unhealthy when I got pregnant. I'd like to find that guy now and kick him in the nuts. I feel great! My current OB/GYN has never mentioned my weight at all. At my 6-month appointment, I had gained about 20 pounds, which I worried was too much (for a fat girl), but she wasn't worried AT ALL. My fertility doctor did warn me that I would be at an increased risk of gestational diabetes, but I just passed my glucose test with flying colors. Being fat does not mean you're unhealthy, and I guess I'm lucky to have a found a doctor who gets that.<BR/><BR/>As for your developing bump, get thee a Bella Band.

Seems to me that I've gone from being one cliche (single lady living with cats) to another. <BR/><BR/>I'm not going to *not* get married and *not* have kids because writing about those topics might be considered boring. And I can't (won't) pretend that they aren't facets of my life, either. It'd be pointless to pretend that they're not there and don't matter.<BR/><BR/>I think Dooce is a fantastic writer and I am mad with envy at her design skills, photography, and eye for style. I reference her because I respect what she does, and because I assume that many of my readers know who she is and read her as well. She makes a very good, successful living from writing honestly about her life, and I do find that admirable.kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00879301751663532121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10136851.post-7283335558935759782008-12-16T11:27:00.000-08:002008-12-16T11:27:00.000-08:00K - I will answer your question, as I am a longtim...K - <BR/><BR/>I will answer your question, as I am a longtime reader of your blog -as in really long time; I remember the MeJane blowup.<BR/><BR/>I read your blog because:<BR/><BR/>1) you come across as very funny and truthful and self-deprecating<BR/><BR/>2)you were writing about the single woman woes and your other problems.

The only unique thing I can do is write about my life experiences from my own little perspective.

And believe me, if you don't find that interesting, I totally understand. <BR/><BR/>I'm the same person and writer I always have been. If you don't like what I'm writing about, um, okay!
