Lol! You ladies are making me smile, I love it! I have a friend who's 33 weeks- petite, blonde, same old perfect arms and tush with this round little basketball....and then there's me beside her. I'm 4 months behind and I think our bellies are the same size! I can't even blame it on her age, we're both 35. My husband saw us together last week and asked how far along she was. When I told him I got the eyebrow and "Wow. Huh.".... Shut up you stupid, stupid man. Lol, we'll all be back in the old pants soon!

Yes ladies. Im with you there. It doesnt help when you feel like daisy duck and you meet a mom with a 2 month old whos back to a slim size 8 already...Thats one good thing about the dad being out of the picture he was calling me big early in the pregnancy. Now I
just have positive comments from people
plus I think pregnant woman look beautiful
and curvy...and our babies getting well nourished.

It's definitely hard that my maternity clothes don't even fit. And like above poster mentioned,  I've gained a bit in my thighs too! I have gained a bit over recommend weight gain. I had ankle surgery in the beginning of my pregnancy so not only did I gain a few pounds due to that but haven't been able to be active/work/or hardly even walk throughout my pregnancy to maintain. I heard breastfeeding helps lose the weight faster active nd easier active need I'm hoping that's in my favor!

I feel the exact same way. I was a size 4 pre pregnancy and I feel like a house now. Friends want to take pictures of me, but I won't let them.

I feel the same way; I have put on 32 lbs. In six months, and it would be one thing lf it were just my baby bump and boobs, but it's so not. It's my legs, thighs, butt, back, shoulders, arms, and face. None of my clothes fit. You have my sympathy.
