Weight gain - feeling depressed

I've had disordered eating in the not so distance past-to the point where I had no periods for 18 months causing difficulties TTC. I'm now 3 months pregnant and eating more than I can ever remember eating. When I feel sick the only thing that has helped is eating so that's how the last 3 months have gone.

I exercise regularly including jogging and weight training-both of which I did pre-pregnancy.

I've started to feel really low about the weight I've gained, the fact that none of my trousers fit and I think I've put on more weight on my bum and thighs than anywhere else which have always been the area of my body I've hated the most.

At my next midwife appointment I will talk to her about it but please tell me I'm not alone in feeling low about the weight gain when I do also realise how lucky I am to have a baby growing inside me!

I think it's not at all unusual. Definitely be honest with your midwife about your past issues and how you're feeling now - she will hopefully be able to refer you to someone who can help.
