Weight gain - yuck

[Tea1Sugar]

I KNOW it's normal to put on weight but I really don't like it! Dp tells me he still thinks I'm gorgeous every day which is lovely to hear but it's me the one who worries. Especially when so many people seem to think it's ok to say "oh your bump is huge", "sure it's not twins?", "I was that big full term". I'm 25 weeks wish dc2, bump and growth scan are measuring spot on for dates so I know the weight gain is going to the right places. Is anyone else struggling with body image? Pre pregnancy I was 8st 4lb, I'm now 9st 9lb so I've put on 19lbs already in 25 weeks which is loads. I put on 3 stone with dd1 and lost it all within weeks but I won't be that lucky twice will I?

I don't like hearing it either - today a guy at work said "You're a lot bigger than you were before Christmas", which is rubbish as I weighed myself before the break and after and there was hardly any difference! Also, it's a bit embarrassing when someone says it to you loudly in an office and everyone automatically stares at you.

Hate it too. Am 31wks with DC4. Was 7st 10 stopped weighing at 9st 3 sometime over C'mas. Can see that my legs are suddenly huge. It's def not all baby....I have ended up at pp weight my previous 3 times, but only after 9mths ish. Tried really hard before this & gave up all 3 times only to find that it 'fell off' further down the line. Still hate hate hate it ATM.

Hi, I was just posting cos I was freaking out about the same thing. I feel huge, way bigger than I was with my first (although I was a stone smaller when I got pregnant the first time, I never quite shifted all the weight). Really worried about how much bigger am going to get as they reckons baby doubles in size last trimester, argh, am already starting to waddle.
