29 weeks and have put a tonne of weight on thighs and bum. Pre preg trousers barely make it past my knees 😖

[Jellybabie3]

Is that normal? Arms seem the same (i just tried on a shirt) but my pre maternity trousers barely make it past my knees....

I put on 4 stone

Only just lost it 16 months post birth...

Could be water retention and gravity making it affect your lower region. Totally normal though, don't panic

Oh 😢 om getting married in 6 weeks. Gonna look great....

You will look fine.

Normal to put on weight in pregnancy.

Jelly you WILL look great, because you'll be marrying someone you love with a lovely baby on the way

Your dress will also cover your legs, if that's what you're worried about. You'll be beautiful, because you'll be happy

Congratulations on both the impending happy occasions!

Thanks. So happy to be preg but dont wanna look like a heffalump on the big day. Ah well. So long as baby is ok.

Me too 😔 so depressing a feel massive and can hardly move without getting out of breath.

Hey jellybabie. It's ok and yes it's normal. And it totally Sucks. If it's any consolation I put on 85lbs with my first son and lost it all by 5 months pp. I was a huge fat whale. This time I'm almost 34 weeks but have still out on 33lbs. My ass is huge. That's how breast milk is made though. We will be ok. Xx

I reckon you gain more if you were small before pregnancy (unless you lose all self-restraint). Friend of mine had 4 pregnancies, was a different weight at the start of each but gave birth at the same weight each time. I was the same, gave birth when I was 10 1/2 stone & my waist reached 44 inches.

Everyone is different of course. But the more you put on, the more you'll need to lose afterwards. You don't need to eat for two or reduce your activity levels (unless you are ill).

I was so careful in my first pregnancy, but lost it all and more quite quickly with breastfeeding and more activity during mat leave. I've lost all self control this time, and yes, huge bum and thighs. Just hoping something similar happens this time too!

Or in my case argy, you feel so horrifically sick for the first five months that you have to eat constantly to stop yourself retching, but yet you can't stomach a single fruit or vegetable.

The only things I felt like eating were cheese and bread I'm surprised I didn't put on even more weight!!

It all comes off in the end if you want it to

Yeah thats what happened to me. It was eat or be sick.

Honestly there isn't anything as beautiful as a pregnant bride. You'll look wonderful.

I felt the same; was shocked at thighs and bum. Have stretch marks everywhere. But all that fat is perfectly normal and designed to nourish baby through breastmilk. I lost mine within a few months and those stretch marks are badges of honour for what I made and then nourished.

I'm probably the same but I'm not going to try! I put on a lot last time but lost it all without really trying. I felt so sick it was a question of just getting through it.

Ok thanks ladies. Not much i can do now i guess
