Hi all.
I'm sure I'm being silly at 38 weeks im going to be rather large. I'm 5" 3 and now 11 and half stone was 10 pre pregnancy.
I was going to 'do everything right' in my pregnancy but very early on I had these strange severe pain which meant I couldn't eat or run anymore.
Long story short I had to have major life saving surgery in my 2nd trimester. Since then exercise has gone out the window. Only recently have I been able to get up and about with some walking again after that. I try to eat well. I don't over eat don't think.
So I put on 1 and half stone and was already on the higher BMI to start with because I didn't know I had a murderous lump on my ovary so I was very sick and struggling to do much exercise or anything really prior to bring pregnant. (My little bean saved me they only discovered it on my first scan).
So, am I worrying unnecessarily? I see all these things about staying active and eating well in pregnancy which make me feel bad. But on the other had I had life saving major surgery only a few months ago and grew a baby so maybe I should give myself a break?
It's just weird because I was always a runner or long distance swimmer and now I'm a beached whale lol!!!
