Has anyone else found that there legs have gotten bigger or wider. I thought it myself but then thought nah!! I'm being paranoid til darling fiance just commented by saying ' I think your legs have got bigger u know' mmm thanx!!!

I suppose I was just hoping for a neat little bump and no weight gain elsewhere but I guess I'm wrong..only 17 weeks!!! Eekkkk!!!

Everyone hopes for a neat little bump and no gain elsewhere Grin on the plus side as your bump gets massive the rest of you looks smaller in comparison!!

Yup my legs got big last time and this time. At least now I have the comfort of remembering them going back to normal fairly swiftly. I think it's mostly fluid retention so if it bothers you I guess you could try compression stockings?

yes, I have massively fat calves. It is vile. I am 30 weeks. My feet have grown enormous, none of my shoes fit me.

I also have chubby legs, I am 27 weeks and even stretchy mat jeans feel tight.... Shock

Yup, I've gained fat on my upper arms and thighs - it's hormonal and if youre eating normally there's nothing you can do about it, your body is storing some reserves in case food became scarce towards the end if pregnancy or in the early days of feeding.
Your hormones will change again after birth and make it possible to lose it again.

I have a neat little bump (very smug) and get told this frequently by everyone who sees me. However I also have developed large thighs and a big bum to support my neat little bump! Even my mum commented the other day but I don't mind. My arms are the same size and I can still fit into my normal bras but my legs are on the larger size.

Yep my bum and thighs have got bigger- I'm bottom heavy anyway so expected. No where else apart from bumps got bigger !

Glad I'm not the only one then, I think I just feel a bit fat as in that inbetween stage where I sort of look pregnant but I also look a bit chubby
