Jesus, I'm only 8 weeks , it's my second Baby. I cycle to work twice a week. I just got changed there and saw my thighs in the mirror, they're massive! Midwife weighed me yesterday and I've put 6 pounds on but some of that is Xmas and I was already 6 pounds over weight. Im small and pear shaped so it looks awful and makes me feel bad. What exercises can I do while pregnant for my thighs? Is there any hope in slowing my weight down? Is it true your much bigger with second?

Try not to stress, your body's going through a he'll of a lot.
I was curvier when I fell pregnant with my first and ended up huge. I was so I'll with hyperemesis and have no idea how I managed to get so huge when I was so ill right through the pregnancy.
This time around I started of really small and after only having morning sickness for about 10 weeks I still fit into some of my pre pregnancy clothes at 29 weeks.
All pregnancies are different, don't stress yourself out with weight, try to maintain a healthy diet and get regular gentle exercise when you can.
Chill out and enjoy!
