Concerned about weight?

[Renaroo42]

I notice that everyone else is a lot smaller, and skinnier than I am. I am just concerned because I weighted 138lbs when I was 6 weeks. I am now 9 weeks, and I have my doctors appointment next monday, and im just worried I am going to be over weight my whole pregnancy. But what *****, is before I met my husband I only weight barely 100lbs, and now I just feel so fat, I already have ugly pink stetch marks everywhere. I feel so ugly. Can anyone else relate or am I just crazy?:(

I have always been underweight naturally my entire life but with my first pregnancy i gained 72lbs. Most of it was water weight since i had preeclampsia but i felt huge and gross. Very alone too because none of my friends ever gained that much during there pregnancies. Im 8weeks now with my second child and i have already gained 10lbs. The docs got mad at me for gaining so much already and i feel like ill be a whale again with this one too. Ugh :( i just don't understand why i always gain so much.

Yeah, ive been thinking im just gonna try and not worry so much about the weight gain. Because no matter what, after our baby is here, im gonna work out and get to losing alot of weight. I just dont wanna hear my doctor tell me that im way to over weight during pregnancy. I already have a hard time eating vegetables. But thank you guys so much for your advice, I really appreciate it:)

Also i prevented stretch marks by using palmers coco butter for scars and stretch marks works wonderful

Don't stress out about weight you will have plenty of opportunities to lose weight after baby comes. Stretch marks are inevitable. My body changed so drastically since I had my first baby. It's just part of motherhood and a long as you work on it after baby comes then you can get back down to a comfortable weight :) don't stress, enjoy your pregnancy

Oh hunny i feel u i feel so fat... i was always small before i got pregnant i was 125lbs and im now 39 weeks and gained about 19lbs and i swear the scales are wrong at my doctors bc i weigh at home to bottom line if u dont wanna gain too much weight follow the pregnancy weight gain guidelines and that will help u alot and besides alot of weight comes off after u have the baby....also what made me feel better i Googled what weight comes off after having a baby it breaks it down for u

smaller girls tend to gain more weight when pregnant. if your doctor isnt concerned you should be. As long as your taking care of yourself and the baby everything is fine. Your body will gain what it needs. some people gain 10 some gain 30-40 depends on your body and baby
