Can anyone relate?

I started TTC at a weight I was happy with. But I was having no luck and I toned down the exercise (stopped running 3x week and began doing arc trainer/walking more instead) and I put on a few pounds, because I read intense exercise can make it harder to conceive. I gained a few pounds the last couple of months. I am pregnant now and while I am ecstatic I am going to have a hard time with the weight gain. I already feel like I look huge, but I think I’ll feel better once I actually start to look pregnant instead of bloated and/or chubby. I’m already thinking about what I’m going to do once baby is here to slim down again! Anyone else feel this way?

Once again, I am grateful for this pregnancy. I just can’t help these emotions.
