weight issues and low self confidence

I'm currently around 10-12wks and 5'6" 179 lbs I was 190 before I got pregnant...I've just been so sick ....I know its normal because the same thing happened with my 2nd child I was 197 when I got pregnant and by 15 weeks I was 177 lbs....but I'm just upset because I'm hungry all the time but anything I eat makes me nauseous :( and one of my friends who is slinder is also 10-12weeks and already showing....I'm so jealous she doesn't even have any nausea :( I just feel so .... Fat .... I just wanna know if there is anyone out there who understands

Dont be too upset. Im 34+2 and just the other day had someone who i seen everyday ask if im 3 - 4 months cuz im "just starting to show". I actually feel quite blessed, cuz i havent gotten more stretch marks with him yet & have only gained 7lbs i figure ill be able to get back down quick.

I've been constantly sick all 14 weeks so far & still sick & I've GAINED 10 pounds...I have no idea how because when I do eat its only good food..I was a little overweight before getting pregnant & I feel massive :( don't feel bad, just let it be your motivation to lose the weight after :) I'm hoping this will be my push to thin out after bb is born. But you are carrying a child, don't feel embarrassed, feel proud :)

Not to be insensitive, but your slender friend would be the "fat" one. She's not far enough along to be showing... baby is tiny and her uterus is barely a centimeter above her pubic bone so she's just gaining weight.

Hoe could you possibly feel fat if you're losing weight?

With my first one i felt like you did till i got over twelve weeks and same with my second am pregnant with now. Hormones are strange things. But really hope you do feel better soon.  Keep smiling :-)

Do not feel upset hun. I am 21 weeks i have no bump hardly and ive lost weight because of been sick or feeling sick and i am constantly hungry. You will feel better after the 12week stage. And you will eat and eat. Its normal to be feeling sick but once u hit 12-13 weeks u feel so much better xx
