Rant here ! Im only 8 weeks pregnant with my second. I was 8 stone when i found out , im 8 and a half now , barely wearing jeans anymore because i feel so bloated and i definitely put weight on my ass & thighs 🥲. Obviously i am eating more because i feel starving more and before i was pregnant it was easy for me to skip meals. Just feeling really down and I really didnt want to put so much weight on , with my first the same thing happened i was 8 stone when i found out and 10 & a half when i gave birth 🙄

@JessH2 sorry to hear you’re feeling rubbish! I’m a similar size to you by the sounds of things - I was 8 stone 4 when we conceived and at my 12 week scan I was 8 stone 10. I’m now 18+5 and no idea what I weigh, but I’m surely over 9 stone now. What is it that’s making you worry about putting on weight? Of course a lot of the weight you put on is completely necessary. This is my first so I don’t have a previous pregnancy to compare it to, but personally I’m just going with the flow and eating what I feel like I need to eat/not worrying about weight gain. You obviously managed to lose the weight you gained the first time around, so no reason why you can’t do it again x
