So upset with weight gain

Second baby. Put on 3 stone with my first.
Started this pregnancy half a stone heavier than before my first.
I'm 35 weeks. Started at 11.4 and I'm now 13.9 😭 I'm 5ft 9.
I'm so upset with myself. I'm huge everywhere and I feel people are judging me like I have really let myself go.
It's so excuse but I had no sickness what so ever and crazy hunger all the way through. My bmi is now overweight and I have a triple chin, thighs touching, fat arms etc etc.
I'm over the weight now that I was when I gave birth to my first and I have 5 weeks left.
Anyone else feel like this :(

BMI is completely irrelevant when you’re 35 weeks pregnant!
So you’ve put on 2.5 stone ish? That’s within the realms of normal isn’t it? A large proportion of that will be baby, placenta, fluid etc. Then the body lays down some fat stores for breastfeeding. Completely normal. Just concentrate on being healthy.

Don't beat yourself up OP, you're preganant. Just try to est healthily where you can but give your body what it's craving. I'm 5ft 7 and went from 11 to 15 stone with my first pregnancy! It all came off. With three DC to look after I'm sure the weight will fall off. Be kind to yourself.

Considering you're so tall, I don't think that sounds like a really big amount.

I'm tall but look huge in real life and even bigger in photos! Just gets me down 😪

I was 5ft5 and 13st2 when I conceived. You're fine. I was 15st+ when I gave birth and I'll 12st now 5 months later. It's very likely you'll loose it all quickly if you eat healthy after you've given birth. If you are happy and able to breastfeed, that'll help a bit as it burns calories and you'll feel like your normal self soon enough. Be kind to yourself, you've grown a person!
