Why am I so huge for 30 weeks!?

Question

I went to baby bootcamp the past two days and I was one of like two girls that was less than 32 weeks. And I was the biggest one there! My doctors haven't told me anything about my babies measurements or how big she might be so idk anything other than I'm literally a freaking whale. I'm so depressed I want to cry. I've never been more than 150lbs at 5'6 which is damn good cause I was very active and now I'm 200!!!! What is wrong with me!?

Answer

Oh, mama, don't worry! Trust me, you would be having anxiety if you were "small for your due date" too. I hate all the charts and things saying "you should have gained exactly this many pounds at exactly this date. Everybody grows differently, everybody carries weight differently and that's totally okay!

Answer

Stop looking at the damn scale!!  It's not going to be your friend at this point. A healthy baby is the end game not how you compare to everyone else or what you weigh. Every body and every pregnancy is different.

Answer

Everyone is different and gains differently and looks different during pregnancy if your doctor hasn't had any concerns you are perfectly fine! :)

Answer

I hear you! I'm 30 weeks too and now 200# which is crazy to think since I'm 5'6 and prepregnancy was muscular 170. But remember and tell yourself it's for your baby. It doesn't matter as long as baby is happy and healthy!!

Answer

This was me last week.

Answer

I feel your pain... I'm 32 weeks and look like this... Wtf?! This is going to be a long 8 weeks 😔

Answer

Good job going to baby bootcamp! I'm too winded to do much these days at 30 weeks and I was a half marathoner before this pregnancy!

Answer

Oh gosh glad it's not just me! I'm 33 weeks walking as much as I can and I feel massive. When I was younger I use to be the weight that I am now so to me I feel like a whale. I've only weighed myself twice during the pregnancy but I hate the stupid charts and seing stick thing pregnant people because mine is all over!lol Wheb you mention it to people they just think your being silly.

Answer

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one! I feel like I don't LOOK 190 lbs (40 lb weight gain) but I guess I am! Doctor only seems a little concerned though so I'm trying to keep to her energy... But OOF! Hard not to pinch the arm/back/thigh fat in the mirror, you know?

Answer

I'm 32 weeks and workout 6 days a week. I stopped weighing myself every day when I hit 30 weeks...I couldn't handle the number!  Keep working out if it makes you feel good and forget the scale! ( now I only weigh myself once a week and I cringe with displeasure but I know I'm healthy and doing everything I can)
