As of today I have gained 17 pounds, I was gaining it so slowly and now all at once. I'm scared more of it is fat than…

Ive gained over 40. Don't worry, as long as baby is healthy 😊

I'm about to be 26w only gained 1 pound

@twinpeanut, I just feel awful, I'm one pound away from the heaviest I'd ever been. I was 130 in 8th grade and got bullied soooo bad for it that I developed eating disorders. And it's hard to fight off those thoughts.

@dalliesmama remember, you are growing a little human. Heaviest I ever was is 125. I was put on steroids and gained 10 pounds just from those. Then everything else is baby weight. It'll be ok. Love what your body is doing for you 😘

I weigh 180 now. I don't think i look bad at all

Dont worry, its all baby. I gained like 32lb by the end. I think I talked to you before though. All that weight is gone.

@twinpeanut, I love my little boy don't get me wrong. But with BDD it's just so hard sometimes to see past the weight gain

@kambam, I think we have talked before. I swear everytime I step on the scale now it's an extra 5+ pounds😓

I gained about 35-40 I lost half and have about 10lbs left and I just finally accepted my body. I'm 190 and this is the heaviest I've ever been. Don't let the doctor make you feel bad, some doctors are just complete assholes and don't tell you all the aspects of your weight gain, they just assume since you're pregnant you eat and eat, and that's not always the case! I was pregnant during the summer, I gained water weight, I was so self conscious that I couldn't keep the weight off, I'd walk every day for so so long, it'd hurt because my hips, thighs, Braxton Hicks, lightning crotch, but I kept pushing myself because I felt I was so unhealthy...I watched what I ate too...low and behold I gave birth to an 8lbs 11oz baby (he's tall so the weight evens out with his height) but please don't feel bad! I understand it's hard, but you are growing a baby, and everybody carries differently! You could totally just shed the weight off after you give birth. Stay positive :) and if anything you can always think of a healthier solution if you think you're gaining too much, but don't push yourself too hard, you are growing a baby :)

@bluepenguin, that's what I'm trying to tell myself. I hate what society does to girls from a young age to make them think if they aren't a 0 they aren't small enough. I've never been one to accept my body, even when I had abs and worked out everyday and weighed 105(all muscle) I thought I was "too big" I hate that I feel like this because I feel being pregnant I shouldn't worry about calories or what I've gained 😞

Lol it seems that way 😁 it will slow down in the 30w mark. Smaller people always seem to gain more than people who started off a higher weight.

@kambam, I was veryyyyy tiny

Yeah and dont be alarmed but of you breastfeed you might keep a little extra fat on. Idk my mom said our bodies do it in case we starve during that time lol. Def had a little breastfeeding fat hanging around but was back at pp weight at like 1 week

@dalliesmama awh....I've never never had a flat tummy, I was skinny but I always had that little 'mush' now it's so much worst but I have almost no time to exercise, and I don't want to take my son out in the really hot heat, it's not healthy for him. But screw what anyone else thinks. They aren't your significant other. Try and think positive, because that's the best feeling , and you are so beautiful! My boyfriend always tells me not to lose weight that he wants me like this, but I just don't like it! I don't care about my legs or arms, it's my tummy! I never was a size 0 not even close, the closest I ever was, was probably a 10, but I wasn't even fat! All of our bodies are different and sizes don't matter because we are all built different, some have big hips, some don't, y'know? Think about your baby, he/she is healthy and growing :) I agree though, it's hard, the expectations other people have for females....but we aren't trying to please them, trying to make everyone happy won't make you happy, you have to make yourself happy first. I hope you feel better , I'm here if you need someone to talk to 💕

I've only gained 8 I hate it I can't stand that I can't gain weight

@bluepenguin, thank you so much, message me sometime. I could use mom friends anyway!💕 @kambam, I definitely plan on breastfeeding. How weird tho, I heard it helps lose weight

It can and does but just letting you know the alternative as well ☺

@kambam, thank you!💕
