Gaining arm and back fat

Just wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing more back and arm fat than usual in pregnancy.
I am 33 weeks pregnant and I just feel so fat! I was all bump with my first but this time round I seem to have gained fat al over, but predominantly my back and arms 😩 I just feel so gross at the minute

I hear you. I wasn't especially skinny with the my first but it was mostly bump.
Now I'm heavier anyway but look (feel) like a tank. Only just over halfway too! Dread to think what I'll be like at 40weeks 😂

@Uphighseesky I just hope it all goes! I have never looked so big and I just feel so gross. I feel guilty saying that because I am carrying my baby girl but I can’t help but think how I will look after and if I am stuck like it. I just want it to drop off instantly without having to go gym straight away. I sound so selfish :(

You don’t sound selfish at all. The worse thing (for me) was how scuzzy you feel, fat, lumpy, and yuk. Couldn’t wait for it to be over so I could be thIn again. Don’t feel bad, it’s not forever.
