depressed

When I was pregnant with my son I started at 150 lbs and by the end of the pregnancy I weighed 213 well by his first b day I was down to 133 and had no problem keeping it off. I am now 25 weeks pregnant and I now weigh about 151 lbs which I know isnt terrible but I feel huge and horrible. I didnt want to weigh more than 165 by the end of this pregnancy but I feel like I already ruined that goal. Im only 5'2" so on me a little bit of weight makes a lot of difference. Anyone else having a hard time dealing with their weight?

I know its going to take a little longer to get back into working out especially since I am having another c section and I remember how hard it was to get a flat stomah last time. I hope I can do it all in enough time to still be able to find a wedding dress. I know what you mean about stretch marks, I got a ton of them with my son from being pregnant and gaining so much so quickly.  Its frustrating because you kbow no matter how hard you work to nake your body look good, they will never go away

I too get worried about my weight, with my 1st son i started off at 133 and gained 67lbs sobi delivered at 200 :( At the same time i knew it would come off quickly because i gained 30lbs just in water weight i lost the weight quickly, got back down to 136 but over the last 4 years ive been pregnant 2 other times and unfortunately had to have surgery to removed them out of my tube :( So my weight has consistently been at about 155 im 5'4 so thats considered over weight. Anyways, i am currently 30 weeks pregnant with number 2 and i started off at 154 and have gained 26lbs to date :( i was hoping to stay under 185lbs on delivery but its not working out so well. So yes i feel for you and am feeling the same way!

Also Im not an exclusive breastfeeder i supplement with formula too so even if u choose not to bf it will still come off. just watch eating all crazy after u have the baby that's when u might have some problems. Goodluck

I find myself obsessing over my weight constantly. Im hoping like crazy that as long as I keep it under control that between changing my habits again and being able to work out again and breastfeeding that I will be back at my goal weight and toned by my wedding. I worked very hard to get where I was and I did great about not gaining a lot until my second trimester. But then I went nuts.

I understand how you feel. I've always been insecure with my weight an lost about 80 pounds before I got pregnant. I'm a ftm at 23 weeks an have gained 25 pounds already. Of course I'm freaking out but everyone keeps telling me I'll loose it once I have the baby! As long as my baby's healthy and kicking I try
not to worry. I still try to work out every day but its nothing like before. I just hope I get that motivation back that I had before.

True but this time I am high risk and cant even get any real exercise in and I am also getting married six months after I have my baby girl so I dont have nearly as much time to get where I want to be and lately I have been eating nothing but junk

During my pregnancies I ate whatever I wanted because I knew I would discipline myself to cutting back once my babies were born. Enjoy your pregnancy and as long as your not eating empty calorie foods dont worry about the weight. Eat healthy and dont stress about it. You lost the baby weight once Im sure you can do it again. Best of luck to you.
