self conscious bout gaining weight?

Question

I've always been self conscious and worried about my weight. In the beginning of pregnancy I lost 16lbs and I'm now 20 weeks and I've gained 5 of the pounds back. I know that's not bad and my baby is growing it jus made me feel a little self conscious seeing the number go up in just a week or 2, anybody else or jus me?😕

Answer

It's normal for you to jump like that especially if you're no longer in your first trimester. It's time for your baby to start growing and putting on weight! Plus remember... you have to take in account the babies weight, the placenta AND the extra blood your body is now pumping (which is a lot). Try to just remember theweight gain is for the baby and it's good!

Answer

I feel the same way! My husband keeps telling me I need to eat more, but I'm so nervous about gaining too much weight! It's so hard to work your whole life to stay thin and fit then suddenly have to adjust to the changes during pregnancy.

Answer

I definitely am. My bmi is 28.5 and when I started it was 24. I've already gained 25 pounds and I'm 33w. I started at 145. I hate the unnecessary weight I've gained.

Answer

I've gained 20 pounds and am 18 weeks... it happens. Pregnancy changes your body, don't be too hard on yourself
