Fat thighs!!

[NicolaWynne]

Is it normal to put on weight on your thighs during pregnancy? Or is it just my body shape/ive put on too much weight?

I think my hips have got a bit fatter and also wider? And i only have stretch marks on my inner thighs! Its really bugging me.

I've also noticed i have more cellulite on my thighs...

Am i just unlucky? Or is it a normal pregnancy thing? Its really getting me down.

My thighs have always been very very thin and now I have cellulite on them and they are thicker for sure. :/ I'm not pleased, but I hear it goes away afterwards!! I am a runner so I am sure it will come off pretty shortly after I start up again...but for now it is depressing yes!

im the same!
unfortantley i take after my mother i am very petite but as soon as i put any weight on it goes straight to my thighs or bum, plus i havent been able to walk as much as i once could! it really sucks and im gonna do lots of walking and leg exercises once this baby is born!! x

Im praying some of it is water retention x x

My thighs have gone all wobbly and i have cellulite I think most of mine is down to the fact that I haven't been running for about 8 mths, can't wait to start up again!

This happened to me with ds. My thighs were the first place I got stretch marks with him.

My thighs have defo gone up one or two trouser sizes I reckon plus mire cellulite I'm hoping it goes after bubbas born i asked my friend for a pregnancy work our for Christmas and she bought me the Davina Macall so fingers crossed lol x

i think all of my weight has gone there (other than my belly)...i have stretchmarks there from when i was a teenager and some days i can literally feel them stretching. i don't think i've gotten new stretchmarks but my thighs are def fatter and have more cellulite, even on the front! i've been retaining water like crazy so i hope that's a lot of what it is, too.

I have the most diagusting thighs. They are all lumpy, jiggly and have huge purple stretch marks all over them. Plus my ass is about as wide as a barn door. It makes me sick! Pre-pregnancy i was always a bit underweight so I felt really good about my body, now I feel like the Pillsbury dough boy.

I've read that a lot of it is the extra fluid we carry around in pregnancy so fingers crossed it will eventually go, my thighs are a world unto themselves.

im glad im not alone! I havent got any stretch marks on my bump (yet)lol but i have some lovely purple ones on my thighs and my thighs have got bigger with cellulite too.

Unfortunately it's normal to gain in the hips and thighs. I'm naturally very thin and gained in my butt and thighs when pregnant with my son. I am this time around too. The good news is that they were back to normal within 6 weeks after delivery, so I wonder if some of it water retention.

Oh me too my thighs look like ham hawks! when Dh slaps my already widened out fat ass both my thighs jiggle! I am so unhappy that this is where my extra weight has gone but I know once I can get out for walks with LO it will all go away!

I've also put on loads of weight on my thighs - but cause i'm pear shaped I think any tiny extra weight goes there anyways.
It sux.

I use to have thin thighs as well and mine have gotten alot fatter and I have a little cellulite from it sadly

 

[Sew_Sweet]

Well everyone gains weight differently. That may just be where yours happens to pack on. Don't fret - just worry about it after baby is here. There's plenty of time in life to fix things like fat thighs.

 

[NicolaWynne]

Well it must be a common thing in pregnancy, still horrible though
Maybe i'll go for a nice long walk on the weekend x x

My fat thighs are now fatter My cellulitey thighs are more cellulitey Thankfully I've no new stretchmarks there yet..

I am hoping its a combination of not really being able to walk and water retention but once the babies are here it'll be power-walking with pram and dog everyday til they get back to an acceptable level of fatness
