not trying to complain:(

I have 10 weeks Left and I feel like I honestly can't do this anymore:( this is my first pregnancy and I started at 140 and have gained over 50 already. I have stretch marks and just want to cry when I see myself. I tried going shopping today and left in tears. Idk maybe it's just getting to the end and I just am ready. I know when he arrives I will be nothing but smiles and love him so much. But I feel so depressed right now:'( any advice or anyone else feel like this???

Same here! Before I got pregnant I was 115 and I've gained about 40 lbs and I still have 10 weeks to go. I also got gestational diabetes from the whole ordeal. So believe me, I understand. It *****, but it's totally worth it in the end! Can't wait to meet my baby girl! I only have 10 weeks left! :)

I'm 30 weeks and 5 days, it's not an easy ride girls... But we do all of this for a beautiful reason. Don't let the weight get you down, motivate yourself! I still go to the gym, and after baby is born I will keep going to the gym, it's always positive reinforcement to go and do something about it if it bothers you, and at the end of the day people admire you for being a Mother and looking your healthiest and best at all times!

It'll get easier, I've had my share of bad days lately, but I refuse to continue seeing the negative sides of it. Get excited girlies!

Stop looking at the scale!!! I go to the doctor and whenever it is time to get on the scale i just lool above the numbers.  Your doctor will tell you if something is wrong with your weight.  This is my 4th pregnancy and i have done this with all of them. I have absolutely no idea how much weight i gained with any of my pregnancies and i have always gotten back down to my 21 BMI easily when I start back up running.

Hi there,

I did not gain the weight but am having similar feelings. I am 30 weeks 5 days and I find my self anxious frequently that I'll never look the same again. I have stretch marks and I got acne during pregnancy on my face and back during pregnancy that I'm scared will scar.

I get anxious and a little depressed over this but then I remember that in leas then 10 weeks I will have my beautiful baby girl to bring home. We go through so much now, the weight

Hey, don't get too depressed. My coworker and I were talking yesterday. She gained 65lbs and she had her baby at 35weeks!
Her son is a little over a year, and she is smaller than she was before she got pregnant.
