Fat thighs

This is my first pregnancy, I was very slim when I got pg, and I have noticed that my thighs now rub together at the top. Does anyone else share this? Does it go? I HATE IT!

I was slim before being pg and for some reason attempted to wear a pair of my old skinny jeans, to my horror they didn't even get past my knees! It's all fluid i tell myself and will just dissapear as soon as baby is born!!!!

Just spent a week in Fiji at the end of our travels and the thigh rub was sweaty and horrible, my usually slack hipster denim hotpants looked like they were sprayed on. I feel like a weeble but am trying to embrace my changing shape at 23 weeks today!

Your thighs are one of the main stores of fat that are laid down in preparation for breast feeding.

I have put weight on my arse and thighs, i'm not worried though as I will easily lose it all afterwards.
I just need to stop eating all the time

P:S Azkat, it was also the horror of trying my skinnies that made me sad, I have however bought a decent pair of black skinnies (in a size up) from HM which are ok

i hear you. I would be normally be on the slim side but my arse and thighs have really ballooned out. Really depressing especially when I get into my swim suit. Feel like a ten tonne tesse then!

I'm massive, some of my tops are a size 18 to accomodate my massive boobs, I should be a size 12, I'm only 15 weeks! It actually makes me feel ill to think of all the weight I've put on, I am going to have a horrible time getting rid of it.
