Anyone?

Question

Anyone else feel like total shit when someone posts how little weight they've gained in their pregnancy? I'm feeling really insecure in these final weeks and wish I hadn't gained so much weight. I feel like I'll never ever accept my body again.

Answer

Yes! I actually know someone personally who gained a total of 15 pounds her whole pregnancy and here I am with 2 more months to go and I've already gained 27.

Answer

It doesn't make me feel like shit but it sure surprised me to know there were SO MANY people who lose weight, but a lot of things in these forums surprised me.

Answer

I've only lost weight because of the gestational diabetes- drastic change in diet. I would give ANYthing to be able to eat what I wanted and put on all that delicious weight!!!

Answer

I gained a ton my first time, 60 lbs! I've done really good this time but I absolutely know how you feel. You can't judge yourself against others, everyone is different and having a health baby is really all that matters. I posted a pic of my giant belly the other day because no matter how our bodies look pregnant we are all beautiful. If you're concerned about your weight gain I would suggest you eat clean, reduce refined sugars, eat lots of fruits, veggies and lean meats and get out there and walk :-)

Answer

I felt terrible about losing weight in my 2nd tri. At 19 weeks I had lost 9 pounds. I felt like a terrible person. I'm so glad I've gained weight! So I'm the opposite. I've gained 15 pounds at 26 weeks and I feel awesome, lol.

Answer

I've gained more weight in the last 31 week than I have since high school.  I'm super worried about never having my small athletic build back.

Answer

they can have some of my weight, lol. i was insecure about my weight before finding out I was pregnant. Ive been trying to figure out how NOT to gain. with my almost 2 yr old I gained about 40lbs and couldnt take 25 of it off :(

Answer

I have also gained a lot. And I've eaten well and kept active. I think everybody is going to put on what they need regardless. Just remember that it is normal to gain between 25-35lbs during pregnancy - that IS a lot of weight and it is all accounted for with fluid, placenta, baby, extra blood etc. I'm just trying not to think about it now. I have a big bump and I can't wait to welcome my little girl in about 8 weeks!! X

Answer

Yeah it does kind of bother me too. I'm 39 weeks and I've gained 42 pounds
