Thighs the size of small planets.

So I'm probably being a TAD dramatic here lol, but I swear my thighs have gained so many inches they are now flapping in the wind. :( I haven't gained a ton of weight but man these inches are going on like there's no tomorrow lol. I was so athletic and fit before pregnancy, I'm so blessed to be carrying a child but my body is totally screwed lol.

I hate that my thighs touch. I cry sometimes... Especially when I are a cottage cheese factory on my legs. Shorts (other than Bermuda) and swimsuits are both put for me this summer :(

I haven't gained a ton either but what I did gain had definitely gone to my hips and thighs. I still work out like I did before but I also eat more so I'm still gaining about 1 lb a week. Last baby I gained 64 lbs! So I think I'm on target to gain about 30 with this one which is fine with me compared to last time! I still hate seeing my thighs blow up tho. It *****! I'm in NY and its almost time to start showing some leg and wear a bathing suit. Ugh

It might be hard and wont keep off all the weight.. but I still do tons of squats..leg, butt and cardio workouts and I see a huge management in my weight and you feel better after doing it:) Im not super big at 35 weeks..but where I was before I was pregnant..I def feel a difference..you got this ladies!! Not too much longer..I bet you all look beautiful:)

Mine is definitely only going to my hips and butt. So far I've only managed to get stretch marks on my butt cheeks, lol. I'm totally ok with that, at least underwear and bathing suit bottoms cover them. I'm really hoping they don't spread to these hips and belly though!

Girl, I feel your pain! I was a softball player for years and kept up my workout regime even after I quit playing - in just nine months, I feel like I've lost twelve years of work - its a terrible feeling...

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I love being pregnant but I worked my a$$ off for my body before and I'm losing it all lol. I guess I better just enjoy it for 9 months cuz it feels like I have little control over the size off my a$$ and thighs lol. Sigh. I'm bound and determined to live on the treadmill once this baby is born.

With my second I gained 90 lbs and everything grew lmao. I'm on baby 4 and they just grow into what was leftover haha. I have to work my *** off once this baby's born to go back to pre pre pre pregnancy weight :p

Same here. All the baby weight went to my thighs.  Not too much on my belly.  Maybe I will luck out on the stretch marks....

Don't worry after you deliver everything will change and then after you stop beast feeding it will change again.  You will have a whole new set of issues with your body lol.  Not all bad just different.
