Only 12 weeks...I look 6 months...paranoid about size!

[wanababy]

I am feeling the same!!! I have put on a stone already and I am usually a size 8 so I feel enormous at the mo!!! I have cut down on my exercise a lot( I usually do LOTS!!!) and I am having everything I want to eat!!!! Weightwatchers can wait 6 more months!!! but I was a bit shocked when the scales said I had put on a stone already!!!

Thats maybe why I look and feel so huge cos I did try to get to the gym for an hour workout once/twice a week before I was pg and now I'm not even getting there! My body has just slumped and relaxed and I'm eating what ever I want too - Its just catching up on me I think......God, why do I just have to look at a biscuit and put on a pound???!!!!
I'm coming back as a man- they have better metabolisms.....hehe!!

Yeah it could be water hellotasha, and I'm hoping that belly will stop growing and just stabilise for a bit like you say MrsP!!!

Janisdkh, great little cute bump, I wish my belly looked like that!!!

aurora32, we can be a couple of fatties together then since you're my text budd.....

As for jeans Shelleylu, I put quite a bit of weight on before Xmas gone, and refused to buy a bigger size jeans (the jeans I own are all 14's), I tried to lose the weight instead (to no avail or weight coming off then going back on!), needless to say, I've not had my bum in a pair of jeans since before Xmas so I'm still really gutted about the 'jeans' situation!!! I have a couple of size 16 maternity ones that I just bought couple of weeks ago but they don't count!! Hopefully come March, I can start getting my figure back....

Oh well girls, I feel soooo much better that I'm not alone, but I am sick of people giving me the 'once over' and I can see what they're thinking! And some even say it....'How many weeks? My God, you're gonna be huge'!

Some people are soooo insensitive...stuff 'em....

Hi Girls

Has anyone got really big in such a short time? Someone asked me the other week 'Oh how long have you got left?' I am in maternity clothes already and my stomach looks not much smaller than my sister (She's due her little girl in Novemeber!).

I know I'm pregnant but I shouldn't be this size already surely? I was in shop couple of days ago and my friend came in and asked 'how's the bump coming on?' And I said I'm gettin huge and fat and the woman in the local shop (who is dead nice - we always have a chat) said 'you are really big for how far on you are' and also said that I am getting fat! I've always had weight issues and have put on a stone already.

Its more or less common knowledge at work now but I'm forever looking at my big belly and getting really paranoid about it because I'm only 12 weeks! I feel so uncomfortable as my stomach is so big!!!

Anyone else in same boat?? Am I over reacting??

Hey huni.
I just wanted to add a comment as when I was 10 weeks I did put on a stone and a half and people could tell straight away. I guess it just depends on your body, the water and baby. One of the best things about pregnancy is you can just relax and enjoy food

I showed straight away - 8 weeks I had a proper little gut on me! - I liked it though cos it made me feel more pregnant if that makes sense. Did end up with bad stretch marks though - gutted but I am a mummy to a beautiful little girl so it was worth it

I'm the same; I am just over 8 weeks and have put on 1 stone and 2 pounds, everyone is asking how I am showing so early. I bought maternity clothes 2 weeks ago as none of my trousers fit anymore, they are great I can breathe again lol. Its great to see a bump so soon !!

I'm having a really bad "fat" day. I feel huge, but don't look pregnant, just fat. Until now I had actually lost a few pounds since getting pregnant. I haven't weighed myself today - I'm strict about only weighing myself once a week, otherwise I'd get obsessed.

I'm normally a size 16/18 and I'm worrying I'll never look pregnant, just like a beached whale

But it's reassuring to know other women are going through the same thing.

I was really big with my little boy and got loads of comments from people and I hated it - people can be really ignorant. He was a big baby and I was mostly bump but I did put on too much weight as well, Im not eating any junk this time or refined carbs - Im still a stone heavier than before I got pregnant last time and I am not putting on a lot of weight this time - it is not worth it to me it takes too long to lose it again for me.
