Is this your first pregnancy OP?Because if it is, prepare for your body to do a whole host of odd thing that you will be very puzzled at 😂
Most frustrating for my first pg was sickness, constipation, bloating, chin hairs (what was that about?), weight gain, water retention, swelling feet, foot cramps, restless leg syndrome, being uncomfortable especially towards the last 3 months, feeling like my vagina was about to fall out (again, very last 2 months)
And no sodding pregnancy glow 🤨
Anyway, I spent a large part of my pregnancy complaining about what was happening and really resisting it. I'd lost 30lbs the previous year and was very conscious of my weight and not going back to that horrible depressed state where I was overweight. So being the size of a small house was hard to adjust to. I get where you are coming from!
The best advice I can give you here is:
It's normal. You will put on (on average) between 25 - 35lbs over 40 weeks. That's basically 1lb a week.
Everyone is different and will experience pregnancy in a whole myriad of ways.
Above all, embrace this time. Try to as much as you can anyway. You are doing the most amazing and beautiful thing (god, tearing up as I write this because I'm pg too). Embrace the maternity clothes, embrace your wonderful body and what it's doing. I certainly plan to 2nd time round.
