My six year old nephew called my chubbs. It was kind of saddening at first, then funny. Unfortunately I have several nieces and nephews and now they all know the story and they'll probably be calling me that. I'm 29 weeks and have gained 21 pounds. Not too bad, but I just hope I don't gain a pound per week like they say a lot of people do.

I feel the same way. i just feel so heavy for my little self. And yeah i feel like my body causes attention at school to and i hate it. and then i have my family call me fat even my boyfriend -.- they just make me feel so self counsious about myself. Dont get me wrong cant wait till my baby is here but ive always been scared of gaining too much weight then not being to lose it.

I am 20 weeks and have only gained 9 pounds. It's quite a shock still because I was so tiny before hand and now I am all belly and boobs. When I first started showing I really felt self.concuouse, and still do some times. But now I am proud of my growing belly. We are creating life and that is something to be proud of! I think as long as you are healthy, bring on some pounds Nd glow while you can!

U just have to remember that you aren't big you're growing a little bitty human. I know what u mean because I'm 17 and still go to high school and people stare at me and whisper about me And yell me omg u look so bigggg its cute just think of it as u holding ur baby with touching him/her with ur hands just yet.
