Am I the only one that gets a little IRRITATED when other pregnant woman complain about gaining weight. Like Hello did you think you were gonna to stay super skinny??? Trust me id love to have my pre baby body back. BUT right now I'm growing life inside my belly and I'm embracing my baby bump as well as the weight I'm gaining. It took me up until 31 weeks to start gaining, because I'd gain then lose. I'm just like come on ladies so you gained some weight, you still look beautiful, no its not the easiest to look in the mirror and see your face is chubby, thighs and butt are bigger. let's not mention the belly lol. But we've got 40 weeks to experience the ups and downs of being pregnant, why not accept it with open arms.

I completely agree! I have been losing weight my whole pregnancy from constant throwing up and I am finally starting to gain weight and I am so happy about it! Its not about you its about your baby!

weight gain is a good sign for pregnancy, no doubt because it's natural to happen. but some women have had eating disorders or have had self image issues that it can be hard for them to see themselves that way.

It makes me sad more people don't see it like that. I have been so worried about my baby the whole time because I couldn't gain weight and seeing girls complain about it made me sad! like I wish I could gain anything!

@mo0430, very true and I've considered that as a possibility. But I'm sure not every woman has body issue's.

I'm not saying every woman does because some are just vain and have a fixation that they should stay skinny with a baby bump.

I agree with @mo0430 I'm a recovering bulimic and gained a ton of weight 4 years ago and was just loosing the last 20-30 lbs when I found out I'm expecting. My moms side of the family is very judgmental and completely obsessed with weight loss and weight. It's not that I don't want to be unhealthy for my baby I'm just not looking forward to having to purchase new bigger clothes and hoping that I can remain strong and not relapse after baby is born. Having an eating disorder is a sickness it's not just about being a particular weight but about having the ability of control.

@butterly234, I'm glad to hear you're recovering but sad to hear that it happened to you. it's a major illness and hard to get through. and that is exactly what I was speaking about when people can't help their thoughts of gaining weight, baby or not.

@mo0430, it was bad in high school but after countless therapy and professional help i am doing much better. But just like an alcoholic or any other disease it has its triggers and weight gain 10+ pounds is one of them. I'm usually very active and heathy so im not too worried and I have a very strong and understanding support system around me but it sucks being so tired all the time I haven't been able to do much exercising besides going to work and coming home and sleeping. I feel better when I'm more active just in general.

@butterly234, I can also agree with @mo0430, I honestly DONT know every women's situation. And I apologize if I offended you in anyway. I do understand the struggles dealing with eating disorders as I have went through this with my own mother. My point was to NOT judge any woman on this app. But it's like EVERYDAY that I read post a woman is complaining about weight gain or something to that matter. I'm not the smallest girl out there and I could definitely stand to NOT gain any weight, but hell I'm a type 2 diabetic doing good with my sugars so if gaining weight means I'm going to deliver this baby healthy then so be it if I gain a few pounds. it's a possibility to gain more as your breastfeeding your newborn.

Oh doll I'm not offended at all. I totally understand what you meant by your post and it's very true some are just concerned with outside appearances. We as females tend to judge each other and ourselves wayyy too much.

@butterly234, Great I honestly would hate to offend anybody. it's just an honest opinion that I have. Thank you for being so understanding ☺

Sweetie you can't live your life walking on eggshells trying to always say and do the right thing and trying not to offend anyone. If you don't offend people once in a while you are doing something wrong.
