Pregnancy weight gain - feel like a heifer!

[Gingernut81]

So, I apologise in advance for the self-centred nature of this post but I just wondered if any of you are feelng the same! I'm currently 22 weeks and while I do feel so lucky to be pregnant after two previous miscarriages I can't stop stressing about my weight gain. I weighed myself a couple of weeks ago & had put on a stone but I just seem to keep getting bigger! I'm normally a really active person but due to a knee injury last October & then finding out I was pregnant I've been no where near as active as I would normally be. I love my bump but am really struggling with how much the rest of my body is changing. Does anyone out there feel the same?! X

I am 20 weeks and feel gross - I love the belly but my bum and thighs have got bigger too. When I got pregnant I was in need of a bit of diet and exercise (I always go through cycles of putting a bit of weight on, losing it and feeling great about myself, putting it back on etc) - so I was already at the maximum weight I ever get to. I am greedy too so as yuck as I feel I am not being especially healthy! I live in the middle east and it is 40 degrees at the moment and is only going to get hotter and I hate my fat arms so much that I won't go out without covering them! I am also only 5ft 2 so just feel really stumpy. So no you're not alone in not feeling great - I'm so jealous of the lovely slim pregnant ladies who have obviously looked after themselves better than I do and can walk around with their arms out!

Thanks batfish, glad I'm not the only one!! I don't envy you in that heat!

I love my bump but my bum legs and boobs have gone massive too. Currently 33 weeks with twins got 3 weeks left. I have put on 2 stone. Gone from size 10 to a 14. Usually very active gym 3/4 times a week haven't been once since i fell pregnant just no energy to drag myself. Also eaten my body weight in Ben & Jerrys.

I feel the same too so don't worry your not the only one. I'm 21+5 and have so far put on 9 pounds but I can feel it in my face like I've got a double chin
