Looks wise, I've just put weight on my bump on boobs with necessary flesh to support that. No obvious extra weight anywhere else. My arms and face are still thin. I don't look fat, just very very pregnant. (It doesn't help that I'm so short and I also have a short body, so there is no where for baby to go but out).
My knees and the scales are telling me different though.
I am struggling to get about with the extra weight already. If I don't hit 3 stone gained over the course of pregnancy I will be very very lucky. Given I started at 7stone 11 so thats a hell of a gain.
(and that was after gaining 1/2stone in the 6months previous to conceiving as my BMI was 19.3 which I was worried would mean I would struggle to. 7stone 4 has been my normal weight for the last 5 years).
I am eating sensibly, and I really do feel that there is very little else i could have done. If I didn't eat early on, I would feel sick. Now, if I don't eat sensibly I am ending up feeling weak and lightheaded. I am struggling to deal with it emotionally though. I am very worried about how I am going to cope with loosing the weight afterward. My heaviest weight ever has been 8 1/2 stone in my mid 20s. Even that sounds like a challenge right now. Its just depressing me, and I'd really rather not think about it now as there is fuck all I seem to be able to do about it.
Baby is predicted to be on the larger side of average (8lbs) so whilst big not a monster either.
