Hi I'm 12 weeks pregnant I think got scan 2moro. I look about 9 months gone! I had a big belly anyway but this is ridiculous I'm so uncomfortable ! I will admit I have been bad with my eating but I'm eating when I feel sick which is usually toast! Ive had about 4 slices today alone! Not good ive eaten loads today and I'm still starving !!! I've also not been exersing I jus can't be arsed I'm too tired and feel so down : ( I've gone up a stone in about 2 weeks! I'm terified think I'm may be having quads at this rate!

If you've been having a lot of sickness it might just be bloating/water weight. I was really bloated in my first trimester x

Im not so sure I seriously look huge! How can I reduce the water? I'm trying to drink a lot of water but I'm worried that will make it worse

Drinking water does help with bloating, and it will pass at the end of the first trimester. Admittedly you'll then get a real bump midway through the second.

And start exercising again when you feel up to it, even just a short walk or 20 mins in the pool (today I was in for all of 15 minutes, felt better for it though).

I will try there is no way I can go to the pool looking like this! I am a big girl any way but I'm really tearful about this immense had this with my other two I feel fat and ugly and when I'm sitting all I can feel is belly!

I understand what you're going through! Some days I look like I'm due any day and it's really uncomfortable. Fennel or peppermint tea helps me.

I found a short walk in the morning helped. It seemed to kick start my digestive system for the rest of the day x

Had scan turns out I'm only 8 weeks I feel so stupid : /

I had a huge appetite in the first trimester... think it may have been mind over matter as I am a life-long yo-yo dieter & felt I had an excuse to eat all the things that I have deprived myself of for so long!! ...but literally I did feel constantly hungry & gained a fair old whack of weight but at around 26 weeks my appetite returned to a normal level & now at 30 weeks have a reduced appetite & am not enjoying food because of heartburn!!
I have read on here it is really common to be very hungry during 1st trimester but generally settles down!!
I have already ear-marked my post baby routine.. walking the school run & walking into town & back, a spot of Wii fit & a morning slimming world class!!

I held lots of water in the first trimester too, I was sick as well so couldnt understand the weight gain. I've not been bothered about how I look because...I'm pregnant and beautiful and if I wasn't getting bigger then what would be up with that! I was a size 16 pre pregnancy, I'm up almost 3 stone at 30 weeks, my midwife told me 40 weeks pregnant 40lbs weight gain (I think she was very kind though) I livd off toast in the first trimester too, it was all I wanted/could stomach. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy, I second gentle exercise, I find yoga excellent.

From booking appointment at 10 weeks to now (38 weeks + 2 days) I have gained 4kg.

4kg! wowza! mum you must have him hidden away guddo in there

i thought i would loose weight as im not drinking but think im making up for it by eating !!

I lost almost 2 stone thanks to hyperemesis - am now 20 weeks and my weight gain is still minus figures... (I do not recommend losing weight that way. It was horrible)

i have put on 2 stone 4 pounds already and am 20 weeks.Im not eating anymore than usual and when not pg iam always 9 stone (im 5'10) no matter how much i eat but when pg i just pile the weight on !!! comes off quick after with no effort so it must just be normal for me.

i feel giant though!
