11+1 with baby #2 feeling huge. Anyone else have body image issues and trouble coping with their changing body? I'm almost 10lbs heavier than I was 2 months ago but to be fair I was so sick I stopped working out completely😭

Question

Answer

I had put on weight before I got pregnant, so this is something I'm really struggling with. I haven't been throwing up, just really nauseous all the time, but the only thing that keeps the nausea at bay is eating! So I'm snacking constantly. I've been trying to exercise but it's not enough to shift the weight. I can't wait to look pregnant instead of just fat :(

Answer

When you start feeling better, try to go back to working out. In my experience it really helps with body image issues. I love prenatal yoga!

Answer

Im on #2 and feel like a mammoth!! My first is 7 but it seems my belly is just so noticeable!! Im almost 11 wks! I feel your pain sister!!!

Answer

I gained 10lbs in my first trimester and struggling with it too :( I'm just so hungry and exhausted I can hardly do anything. Every little task is a huge task and takes all my energy. Plus it's winter here and it's -20C so I never want to leave the house. Lol

Answer

I'm starting out 10lbs heavier for
Baby #2 than I was starting out with baby #1 and although it says I haven't gained any weight overall I already feel like im showing sooner and I'm going to blow up this pregnancy! :/

Answer

I feel the exact same way and had to stop working out for the same reason. Everyone says stop worrying and enjoy it but it's hard. I'm already thinking about how hard I will be working out when the baby comes.

Answer

Me! I just posted this I'm 13w 1d. I just had my break down. I'm still 1lb under pre prego but it doesn't look like. Nothing really fits. It's just tough til we get that big belly.

Answer

11+1 today, wish I gained weight.... I've lost 20 lbs.... I've been so sick.

Answer

I'm struggling too- I'm waiting till I feel better and I know once I get back into it, I will stop the guilts. I'm eating more and exercising less- it's tearing me up! I just feel so rotten I can't exercise yet- doing household chores are hard enough.

Answer

I weighed myself this morning- I've gained 7 lbs. Agh how is this possible? 12 weeks tomorrow. I have been exercising just as much if not more, but the intensity is WAY lower. I feel helpless too. I feel like this can't be baby and it's just me getting fat. Girl, I feel your pain! Exercising and eating right has helped, but before I barely ate. Since that is not an option anymore, my weight Is climbing. Any tips on keeping your weight down? I have been trying to net 1500 cals a day including exercise. Maybe I will stop eating back my exercise calories.
