Weight gain

[newmumtobe1998]

Anyone else struggle with weight gain in pregnancy? I knew I’d gain a bit of weight during pregnancy but it’s hard watching your body change so dramatically especially when you used to gym 4-5 times a week and I just lost energy to of do that since week 18.

How fast have others noticed their bodies bounce back? Everything has changed on my body… arms, legs, face you name it!

Remember that your hormones are all over the place but you also have more blood than normal too. Your ribs and pelvis bones move too in later pregnancy. It’s not all fat! Lots of people find they spring back, but I think most find their body is changed in some ways which are permanent. Just eat well and try not to worry too much about it. It’s future you’s problem. Right now you’re doing something really amazing!
