How do some of these women look so good during pregnancy??

M.

I’ve always been so envious of these women that I see in the second and third trimester that look INCREDIBLE! They look like the only weight they’ve gained is in their belly. The last 2 pregnancies I had (ended in MC at 12 weeks) I gained 10 pounds in the first trimester alone. I looked awful and felt my body getting bigger in every possible place. It made me hate being pregnant. After my last MC I vowed to myself to lose 15-20 pounds before ttc again with the hopes of looking and feeling better during pregnancy. I’m down 15 pounds now but am remembering how in the first tri I wanted to eat everything in sight and am scared I’m going to gain it all back right away.

Anyone have any tips? I don’t want to gain an excessive amount of weight and be uncomfortable and miserable in my next pregnancy 😥
