I feel disgusted with myself and am at a loss as to how to explain it.
At 24 weeks I've gained two stone exactly. I put this same amount on over 40 weeks when I was pregnant with DS, three years ago, but this time I near-on ballooned from day one.
I'm not overeating, just eating (mostly) healthy meals with the odd snack. I'm still running (albeit slowly) and doing body pump and circuits classes a couple of times a week. I genuinely don't understand how I've piled so much weight on so quickly, and it's bothering me a lot.
Compared to when I was pg with DS, I'm eating less and exercising more. Yet at this stage with him, I'd gained 7lb.
Anyone experienced similar? And if so did you lose the weight quickly afterwards? I'm really panicking that I'm going to be stuck with stones to shift after DD is born - and who only knows how much more I'll gain in the next trimester. Help!
Oh, and for full info - I'm 33, was 9st 7lb before becoming pg, at 5ft 6ins. Now 11st 7lb and resembling an overinflated beach ball.
(I also realise that it sounds like I'm complaining about being pregnant, and I really don't intend it that way. This baby is very much wanted, and I'm quite ashamed to admit that the weight gain is bothering me so much. It sounds so shallow).

AIBU?
...to panic more than slightly at this pregnancy weight gain?
