So I've been lucky up until now to be able to eat what I want when I want and not suffer the consequences to much in the weight catagory.... I gain 13 pounds in my first trimester. I am 15 weeks now. Some days my belly looks like a bump and the next I just feel like a hippo. Some people have commented that my bump is super cute.. my mil (whom I love more than my own mother) commented that it was "just fat". Now I'm not one to cry about my weight because I'm not skinny but I'm not over weight. I'm in the recommended bmi range for my height. But last night I looked in the mirror and cried when I saw the stretch marks all around my thighs, my but, and my boobs. My dear husband tried comforting me and said it's not really fat but was "baby fat" and reminded me the baby will push up my other organs to make room so he figures that's why my belly sticks out more on top. Is it just me being an emotional first time mamma or has anyone else dealt with this? How do you cope?
