feeling fat?

[katehappy]

I know it sounds really stupid and vain.. but I am really feeling fat.

not in my tummy, I probably love that part of my body the best.. but maybe Im paranoid, or it seems like my thighs/butt/hips have gotten flabbier! and my boobs are just big and heavy, but I know theres nothing can be done about that.

I didn't gain any weight in the first trimester or first couple weeks of second, then when I went in the other day I had gained 5 pounds in two weeks! so I was almost up to normal weight she said, but not to worry about eating more because it looked like my gain was going to be steady.

I was 140 before I got preg, on thursday I was 145 and I probably have gained a couple since then. I've never been skinny-skinny but Ive had nice curves.

of course its not going to stop me from eating.. believe me, nobody likes to eat like I do! I could never go on a diet, even if I wasnt preg! Ive been trying not to eat things like candy bars, ice cream. I dont drink soda at all anymore.

do you think Im paranoid, or do your thighs and butt get all jiggly when youre preg too?

I know what you mean! I gained nothing in first trimester. I was 142 before pregnancy but I'm really tall so I was just curvy not fat. Now suddenly I'm 155! I gained 13 in the last 2 months. :/ I feel like my legs are HUGE. But it's normal, I'm sure we are just so aware of our own bodies that every little change seems like a huge deal.
Don't worry we have to enjoy our pregnant bodies. Hehe

I gained a lot of weight right before I found out I was pregnant because of my depression, so I really wasn't used to my body as it was, and now it's growing.But I know exactly how you feel! I went from a 36 B to a 38 D already and they are just huge to me. I look at myself everyday and tell Madilyn she's lucky that she'll be worth all of this and that I love her a so much already, because I would not go through this for just anyone

I feel fat all the time hun, I've put on 40lbs.

I hate going out because I'm afraid people will just think of my body as a big pile of flab.

But since I love to walk my dog I have to go out anyways haha.

Good thing I love my baby so much otherwise she'd be in a lot of trouble for makine me feel so icky

xx

Im feeling the same way too. Before i was pregnant i was 125lbs, and now im 146lbs and i really don't know where its come from.. im eating regular meals but im walking a lot more than i was before i was pregnant lol. Im not going to diet or anything until baby is here because as long as jayden is born healthy, i can worry about losing weight after he is born for as long as i want. Im turning into a rambler here lol. x

 

[danni94]

i also feel this way, but i must say hun,
looking at your picture, you've got a gorgeous bod!
yummy mummy much? xxx

my underwear was a size 8 im now a size 16 in underwear

I was feeling alright about my body till i grew some stretchmarks last week. Now I feel a little icky about my body but I call them my '' mummy marks''. Think everyone gets a little insecure at times. xx

I got reoccuring tendonitis in my feet whenever I walked anywhere until the third tri. It was stupid and painful and as a result of HAVING to sit on my arse my legs suffered for it. I also developed one hell of a booty. But trust me, you'll miss being pregnant. Feeling fat after giving birth feels alot worse.

 

[leoniebabey]

im fat & all swelled up which makes me look like a serous heffer
and the fact i have to rest! it's doing nothing for my figure

 

[faolan5109]

Oh dude I know how you feel. The stretch marks the weight i feel like a damned whale, but I know its worth it.

 

[baby.moo]

Yea I know the feeling.. I was like 130 when I first found out at 11 weeks (most of that weight was lost lbs from MS) now I'm 6 months and I weigh 147... lol and at my doctor appointment today the MW said I lost a lb so I'm expecting to gain like 7 lbs by next month

 

[Jas029]

I gained 50 pounds during my pregnancy.. Not to mention a sh!t load of stretchmarks..
It's been over 2 months and I still can't pull my old shorts over my fat thighs.. They don't even look bigger to me!!

I went up a shoe size, I went up a underwear size and who knows how many pant sizes I've gone up I haven't gone clothes shopping in a longgg time..

I KNOW the whale feeling.. Especially since the last couple weeks I was swollen up like a balloon and it took me like a week after giving birth before I finally went down..
Oh, a few days after I gave birth I weighed myself.. Despite giving birth to a almost 7lb baby I had only lost like 3-4lbs I was so swollen..

OP:From what I can tell by your picture you look incredible! You should embrace your mommy-bod it's nothing near as bad as some peoples

 

[nicholatmn]

I've gained 30lbs so far! lol Doctors say it's swelling, but I think it's fat!

 

[katehappy]

thanks for all the replies its great to know that Im not the only one out there who looks at their thighs and goes dangit...
of all places I started getting stretch marks on my lower back, right above my butt (you know, that soft muffin-top area) I can tell theyre new cause theyre pink-purple. why there?? i liked that spot!

 

[rainbows_x]

It sucks
I'm getting some new ones on my thighs! Frigging hate them & OH says I shouldn't worry but how can I not
The things we do for our little ones eh?

 

[AriannasMama]

i think we all feel that way at some point, right now im in the awkward "is she pregnant or has she just gained weight" stage...it sucks, lol. but your baby will be worth every bit of weight you gained. Strange thing is I haven't even gained weight yet, maybe 1lbs, Ive gone up a cup size and i feel huge. but like others said judging from your picture you dont look fat at all!

Ohh I remember when I got stretchmarks there! First place I got them (besides the ones that were already on my sides)
Made me wanna cry =P

(Actually, My first thought was "DAMN! Now I can't even do doggy style without looking like a giant stretched out cow" Something along the lines of that....)

im only 8 weeks and i have put on so much weight my teachers and freinds think im more than that because im so big but i dont know how many weeks i am until i have my scan

 

[lucy_x]

I know how you feel, I dont particularly mind having a bigger tummy, But everything else feels huge!, My hips seem to have increased dramatically over night!, And my legs look so fat!..... I cant wait to have her now just so i can remind myself of how i used to look!. dont get me wrong shes sooooo worth it!, but my god i look like a whale!
