I've been trying to keep my weight in check with this baby, but my body has different ideas!!! Have gained 22 lbs at 28 wks..wanted to stay under 30 but doesn't look possible with how much you gain in this 3rd trimester!! I gained 55 with my 1st daughter!, 28 with #2 and 35 with #3!!! Oh well!! I'm ready to diet after baby comes in July!!!! :-) as for right now, i'm in the fat n happy club!!! :-)

Im glad im not the only one too! My 1st gained 60pds, this one so far 20pds n im only 23wks. My pre pregnancy weight 115/120. It took me a 18months to get back to my norm weight. It is definantly worth it. Much love

damn phone!! Try not to worry about it and try not to stare too hard in the mirror if it upsets you, just throw your makeup and smile on, it will get you through the day!! Honest!!

I'm huge and have been with each of my pregnancies. Folk are commenting already and with 11 wks to go I know I will end up biting someones head off by the end. I can laugh a bit just now but "wow, you're huge!" and "are you sure theres only 1 in there" gets old pretty quick!! I was delighted to be told yesterday though that it was only my bump which was big so maybe I havent put on as much elsewhere as I think I have! If you're anything like me (and most women!) we have a pretty warped view of our bodies even without pregnancy, dont let it get you down, you may be lucky enough to go back to exactly the same shape as you were before, and even if you dont (my ribs and hips expanded and will never again fit a uk size 8 however small my bum is!) you WILL get back to being a size you hare happy with

I gained 80 pounds with my first two and assume I will with this one. Already gained 10 pounds at 12 weeks. Lol. Its worth it in the end and no one can say a pregnant woman isn't beautiful. She's building a human. That is beautiful by its self. :)

My family calls me fat all the time and jokes that I wont fit in the car and whatnot. I dont know how much I have gained because I refuse to allow it to ruin me. But I am chubby now.
And to make it worse, my sister-in-law just found out she is pregnant and she weighs like 80I lbs. I am sure she is going to be the cutest pregnqnt lady ever.

Anyways... It doesnt matter. Its short term in the long run. And you are almost done! Dont stress. :)

And I am sure a lot of people think you just glow and are beautiful! You are doing something pretty amazing.
