Feeling fat all over at 30 weeks, anyone else?

[Snowboarder]

I've has enough now. My legs are swollen (they look like a fat strangers'), my arms are fat, my face and hands are puffy. I look horrendous. In size 12 maternity jeans so I know I'm not vastly vaster than normal (usually a size 10) but feel huge, wobbly and unattractive. Just in time for summer

Anyone else fed up?

Yep, feeling like a little porker here too. Getting fat on the top of my arms, legs are huge and I don 't think it's swelling - just good old fat. I wouldn't say I've been eating for two but defo more than usually would and doing little exercise due to other pg symptoms has compounded I think.

Must try a lil harder but not holding out a lot of hope! With over 10 weeks still to go, think I'll sign up for WW now ;)

yup. waving at you from my spot on the couch.i am too lardy to move ha

I felt enormous today, just gone 32 weeks and my face looks really bloated and I've got cellulite literally everywhere, always had a fair amount but now it's taking over,found it on the underneath of my forearms today!! Not helped by the weather and being really limited as to what I can put on isn't helping!! Also really craving milk which is not going to do me any favours at all weight wise.

Hi Lois and Looby, nice to have some company! I can't really exercise either as I have a 'high risk' pregnancy (DC1 was 3 months prem) which isn't helping one bit. Also, suddenly developed a passion for baking which I can't imagine is the best pastime for someone sliding into chubbiness

Looking forward to getting my body back and being able to get out for looooong walks with the pram!

Was just complaining to DP about my new look beach whale status and he said that's what I'm supposed to look like, its normal. Not exactly telling me I look like Twiggy but helped a bit and guess its true :)

I was enormous at 30 weeks with DS - I had put on 4 and a half stone! - but I was a size 10 again by the time he was 5 months old, largely through breastfeeding and going for long walks with him in the sling.

I know it feels horrible to be so huge right now, but don't worry, it's all just part of having a baby

Im 31 weeks and currently on holiday in Ibiza. Yesterday my oh took some pics of me in my "tank"ini..... Well......I was mortified!!!! I was a size 10 before but same as u guys my tops of legs are hideous...., my face looks like a football and my arse blocks out the sunshine! Was fit as a flea before but have had neck problems so haven't done anything apart from walk and it's showing :0(
Also, read 50 shades of grey and crikey all I can do is think of sex!!!! But now I've seen my body I don't feel like jumping oh's bones :0/

I'll join the club. My legs are getting to me most - cellulite all over and my pop socks are starting to dig in, most unattractive.

The worst part for me is that I used to be very overweight and then lost three stone (about three years ago). I feel like I am slipping backwards - I know that it's for completely different reasons, but it still scares me a bit. However, I have scoped out where WW is for post birth regaining control!

It's helpful to hear that other people are having the same traumas.

I love you all. Thanks for making me feel not so hideous and alone in this wobbly nightmare!

I have a great pregnancy app on my phone which tells me I am "now in the grin and bear it phase of pregnancy" and I'm trying to call that to mind every time I'm feeling a bit low about my sausage toes and cellulite riddled bottom.

greenbananas I could kiss you for giving me some hope that I might ever return to normal.

What the heck...

Will be EBF again hopefully so keeping everything crossed that I can lose a bit of flab that way.
