Second pregnancy - feel like a blob

[Dogandbabymama]

Pregnant with my second child. I didn’t lose all the baby weight from my first one, so was a good 1.5 stone overweight when getting pregnant again. And my god do I notice it - I’m not even 8 weeks but I’m massive already.

During my first pregnancy I was really active and ate relatively well. This time I’ve felt so sick I’ve been eating constantly, and not doing any exercise.

Any tips on how to not turn into even more of a whale? Feeling so low 😫

Slimming world is pregnancy friendly if you wanted a tool to help you through once you can eat a bit more normal foods.I lost most of my post pregnancy weight through it & plan to use it as a tool during this pregnancy. Taking a break at moment as struggling with hg but hopefully back to it second trimester 🤞🏾

Really normal to look bigger much quicker with second pregnancy! Go easy on yourself, you're feeling rubbish and have a lot on. Will even out more later in pregnancy

At 8 weeks it’ll be bloat, I bloated like a puffer fish with my second. Be gentle on yourself, the first trimester is rough and many people just want to eat rubbish. You’ll be into your second trimester soon, you’ll likely have a bit more energy to get out more and eat better. The better you eat the more energy you’ll have and the better you will feel. But don’t feel bad if you don’t, I’m on number 3 and I haven’t had any energy to do anything and just been eating crap.
