Feeling rather large...

[pameladawn414]

Maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know, but I've been feeling really large lately. I've only gained 10 pounds so I'm probably being ridiculous, but for being 23 weeks I feel like my stomach is already protruding alot, and everyone tells me "oh you're tall so you won't become that large" but I already feel large, and it feels awkward because of all the stigma from everyone saying I'll be small, and what if I'm not?? Do I have a normal sized stomach for being 23 weeks? It's not my weight that's bothering me, it's simply stomach size alone, but sadly I know that's something that can't be helped :(
How is everyone else feeling in regards to their size?

im 25 weeks and i have gained 15 lbs, i love my belly, i think im gonna miss it after the baby is born.

Well I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one, I'm so excited to be thin again, not to mention baby kicks so much all day it gets exhausting, but I know once it's over I'm probably going to miss it terribly, so I'm just enjoying every minute that I can :)

Don't worry I have gained 20 lbs in 2 months! I couldnt believe it! But i suppose the scale never lies, But I agree, I love my belly, however I suppose I could do without the ecxess fat everywhere else!...lol

I have gained 19Lbs and I'm 26 weeks. My last Dr apt he scared the crap out of me by telling me I was to big and needed an ultrasound. I gained 9lbs in 4 weeks and my uterus was measuring to big. Everything on the ultrasound was perfect.

I feel huge but love my belly! I know it's only going to get bigger.

Your'e telling me, I am now 23 weeks and I have already gained the alloted weight for a pregnancy! My doctor was like,"we need to change your diet because you have already gained as much weight as you should have for the whole pregnancy!" And I am thinking, I have barely begun, I'm assuming most of the weight gain happens the last few months of being pregnant, I don't know what I am going to do!

I'm 24 weeks, at my appt last week I had only gained 3 lbs on top of my prepregnancy weight.  I, too, feel huge at times.  Sometimes it's not too bad but like when i got to get out of bed somethign it really hits me lol.

I don't like mine because it's weird to look down and actually see a stomach. It's even weirder when my stomach is bigger than my chest. :( Mine isn't completely just because of size because I've accepted I'm going to get large, I just feel repulsive. It's hard to explain. I hate what pregnancy is doing to my body in general. I dunno...maybe I'm just being stupid.
