Getting fat at 6 weeks!!

[Hayleyandbaby]

I hope this doesn't sound incredibly vain, but I lost 5 stone last year and got down to a size ten. I began to put on weight when we were trying to conceive and went up to sort of a twelve, now I'm 6 weeks pregnant, starving ALL the time and also putting on weight very quickly. Is this normal? I'm now a size 14 and terrified I'll end up bigger than before.

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to get a bump and I LOVE being pregnant, can't wait to have our baby, I'm just wondering if after bubba is born I'm guna be massive

Any ideas?

I put on nearly a stone in the first trimester - eating was the only thing that helped with the nausea (!) and I was too tired to exercise as normal. Since week 10 my weight gain slowed right down - everything's settled really and my appetite has stabilised and I've got the energy to exercise.

Still only 18 weeks, so what do I know - might be very large by time baby is ready. But, what I say is, for me, the first few weeks were an emotional and physical rollercoaster, but things have settled down on all fronts... so don't fret I say!

I am in exactly the same boat, I used to weigh 16 and a half stone and lost five and a half stone and pre preg was a size 10/12. Now I'm eating more than ever and seem to never be full and piling on the pounds... I'm 14 weeks and have put on 8lbs which seems a lot!

I'm petrified I'm going to end up an absolute heffer again. Thankfully I kept some of my "fat" clothes so not had to purchase any new stuff yet!

The other positive way I thought to look at it is if we can lose all that weight once, we can DEFINITELY do it again. Especially when we have LO's to run around after, we're having no sleep and for me - trying to hold down a full time job too!!

Try not to panic

I,ll make u all fell better! I'm on my second baby, I started at 8 stone 12 I'm now 7 months and weigh 11stone 8last month alone I put on a stone! Praying it's all water!!!!

Phew, I'm so glad I'm normal then.

I've done the same thing- used my old fat clothes for now.

Clapham Lauren you're definately right, if we've done it once we can do it again, and atleast then we'll get everyone saying how well we're doing again.

Mitford sisters- I'm hoping my appetite will chill out a bit too. I tried not to eat last night and ended up being sick exorcist style!

ClaireFr- Don't worry, I'm sure it will all be water and baby!!
