Weight gain :(

Is anyone else struggling with massive weight gain. I was a size 12/14 before I conceived, I'm 15+ weeks and already I'm up to a size 16. I'm not eating any differently to how I was before and for a few weeks I actually lost weight due to morning sickness. I already feel like a whale and am so scared of how big I will be further on.
I used to have a big weight problem (size 20-22) and worked so hard to get the weight off that I'm worried that I will end up right back there!

I've gained 40lbs and im 21 weeks!!!! I've always been a smaller build.  Not teeny tiny but this massive weight gain is taking a toll on my back and knees. I'm starting to watch my diet now because Ive been eating like a pig.  Just not used to having such hunger!

I also gained 8 kg and am in 20 week. I had to buy new shoes as mine do not fit anymore. You are not alone. We should keep the hope that we will lose them easily at the end! My friends tell me that with breastfeeding, the weight goes quickly down!

I've only gained about 3 lbs so far but with my last pregnancy i went from 179 to 205 and 2 months after birth and after breastfeeding her that whole time I was down to 169 lol most of it was her, the placenta, waters, fluid from the pregnancy. I say don't worry about it.

That's your baby growing!  You gotta think,  your uterus is like the size of a cantelope right now.  I'm growing but having the opposite problem. I can't seem to gain any weight. I haven't had any morning sickness. Been eating normal. But haven't gained a single pound..
