Enormous thighs!

35 weeks and my legs are HUGE! Not my ankles or feet or other things that normally swell, but my THIGHS and knees! My bottom is a tiny bit bigger than normal but still wearing my size 14 boyshorts that I wear when not pregnant very comfortably. I look ridiculous! Am I some weird anomaly? Could it mean anything? Have mw later this week so will check but no issues so far with blood pressure or protein in urine or anything. Just wondering if anyone else has/had similar! It's not been a sudden thing...they've gotten bigger gradually I think but saw a photo this morning of me in shorts and was horrified!

So relieved to read this - mine are HUGE! My thighs and bum have always been the biggest part of my body but after following slimming world and lots of running I had slimmed them down to comfortably get into size 10 skinny jeans. I'm 38 weeks tomorrow and yesterday tried on some size 16 maternity jeans that someone gave me and they fit like a glove Confused

They are also covered in cellulite.

Also glad there is a gang of us! We can all look forward to getting our thighs back in a few months (uncharacteristic optimism from me there!).
I mentioned to my midwife and she just looked at me with mild amusement and said...."for goodness sake, you are pregnant! That's the least of your worries!"
