I am a good 25 lbs heavier than before we started having kids so nothing from before fits. Clothing-wise, I'm like 2-3 sizes bigger. I recommend buying what fits you now if you need it right away but don't spend too much money on it just in case you can't fit into it later on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-209477 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 21:40:01 +0000 shinystraps 209477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! I'm so glad I asked! Now I'll keep this all in mind while trying on those new blazers... and maybe not keep many of them. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-209393 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 19:50:54 +0000 pastemoo 209393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and I worked out, too. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-209382 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 19:42:19 +0000 aMohror 209382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, yes, my arms are totally flabby now too :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-209375 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 19:32:50 +0000 banana 209375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, a little wider. And I hate it cause it's summer and I usually wear maxi dresses and I feel all gross having thicker arms in a sleeveless maxi dress. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-209369 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 19:29:24 +0000 MrsMccarthy 209369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes my upper arms got chunky and i also have the cellulite which i am hoping goes away. my thighs got it too. All worth it for baby but i dont love sleeveless these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-208917 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 13:15:39 +0000 regberadaisy 208917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope but my thighs definitely did! Wondering if they will go back to their pre-pregnancy size... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-208914 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 13:11:19 +0000 shinystraps 208914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the input, ladies! Sounds like I may need to hold on to a few of those larger blazers... fingers crossed that I get far enough into a pregnancy to grow a little (or a lot!) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-208758 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:51:14 +0000 Mrs.B 208758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-208757 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:50:49 +0000 Running Elley 208757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yepp! They're the part I'm most self conscious about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-208755 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:49:27 +0000 winniebee 208755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!

It's the area that drives me the most nuts, I hate how they look these days. I need to start doing some curls or something to get them to tighten back up! ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-208707 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:20:52 +0000 mrsjyw 208707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, but my upper arms are one of spots that gains weight first pre and post pregnancy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-208695 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:14:58 +0000 chopsuey 208695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Everything got bigger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-208694 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:14:00 +0000 mrs. wagon 208694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not with my first (a boy) but this time around they're definitely bigger (with a girl)!!! I don't have many blazers but my sweaters are definitely all much tighter in the upper arm area. And I don't feel comfortable in sleeveless things anymore. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-arms-get-bigger-during-pregnancy#post-208686 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:12:08 +0000 shinystraps 208686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been needing to buy some new blazers for work for quite a while, but I kept putting it off because we're TTC and I didn't want to end up with brand-new blazers that didn't fit. But, there's not holding out any longer, and last night I ordered a bunch online in two sizes - my current size, and the next size larger. </p> <p>Did your arms grow during pregnancy to the point that blazers were too tight? If so, should I hold on to a few blazers in the next size up, or just buy one or two in my current size, and then buy maternity blazers when I'm pregnant? </p>
