Cellulite

This is my second pregnancy but I don't remember the first super clear, it was ten years ago. I'm 27 w 3days and I've gained 20 lbs which I don't think is too bad. But I'm getting cellulite in all these new spots including the front of my thighs and hips! Omg! It's gross :(. Is this happening to anyone else? Does pregnancy cellulite go away after the baby comes and you lose weight? I feel like a walking bowl of cottage cheese lol

I want to cry too :( my thighs are atrocious. And up til now I have been eating decently and working out 4 days a week. Suddenly my appetite kicked in and I seriously have no self control when it comes to food. So if I got this way eating well and working out, I can't imagine what it's going to look like these last few months with my will power slowly going down the drain.

My cellulite is bad this time around as well. I refuse to wear a swimsuit this summer for sure. I have to keep reminding myself that I am a small woman and I will be small again :)

This is my 2nd pregnancy too and my last one was 10 years ago. And yes im getting this cellulite also. I faguely remember getting it with my daughter so I wouldn't worry too much honestly.  I have it again but I just think its the extra weight we have to carry around and water fluid. It will go in time after baby is born. It did before so im sure will again. Plus we will be more active with this baby as our other kids keep us busy :)

Cellulite is usually genetically predisposed, its all how the fat feels deicide to clump together. If you lose weight after pregnancy it should go away. It also probably looks worse because you have the weight of your belly pressing down too
