Early weight gain

[TanJ18]

Hi ladies! Xx
This is my second pregnancy and I am only about 7-8 weeks but my weight gain is just crazy! I've always been quite a small 8-10 but my hips have gone wide already, jeans don't fit! and I've got a bump! I had an early scan at 6 weeks due to complications in my last pregnancy, and they found one baby. I just feel like I've become weight obsessed watching everything I am eating. This never happened last time. I know I shouldn't be so worried about weight but I just can't help it. Any advice would be great TJ xx

I feel the same TJ, I'm normally a size 8 - 10 too and have never been a bigger size than that. I'm 17 weeks now and feel like the number on the scales is going up as I'm standing on them! I think around 8 weeks I hadn't put weight on yet as I had bad morning sickness... but the second I hit second trimester, weight seems to be going up at a scary rate, I've lost my waist completely, feel so round, and none of my trousers fit anymore! I've never had to diet before in my life, but now I'm finding myself constantly thinking about what I'm eating and trying to reduce calories and worrying about weight... I think the best advice though, which I should really listen to myself to be honest, is to just remember that this is normal and actually good! We should be putting on weight, and our clothes shouldn't fit us anymore. If that wasn't the case, then there's probably something wrong, that's what I keep telling myself anyway! I think just try to eat healthy and don't worry about it so much, easier said than done I know.

It’s second pregnancy. I’m on my second and discovered the same. It’s like my stomach muscles have just waved a white flag the minute they heard I was pregnant.

I’m running out of clothes that fit but only and at 11 weeks have a definite bump.
