changing body...

[kcd2013]

Boy oh boy does a woman's body change during pregnancy....
So of course there's the weight gain but there's also.... (well for me at least)
My thighs have gotten bigger (no longer have a thight gap)
My hips have increased...don't ya just love love handles!? Lol
My cute little booty has gotten bigger but also less firm which I absolutely hate and no longer looks good and lifted in jeans :( sad day lol
I know I am carrying a precious gift and just try to focus on the birth of my son but I am almost 25 and don't want to look unattractive. I wore size 4 jeans and if my thighs don't go back to where they were then I guess I'll be all done with them. I never worked out pre pregnancy but I do occasionally walk on the treadmill  and the elliptical to try and get my booty lifted lol and trust me it's not those things making my thighs or butt bigger cuz they're not gaining any muscle haha...oh man! Anybody else having a hard time adjusting to their new bodies?

Lol I understand and im not small. I've always been a bigger girl. Im 23 and 23 weeks. I weighed 215 prepregnancy. I was loosing weight though.  I weighed 280 lost it down to 215 I havent gained much I weigh 227now. (You ladies seem small but im feeling a diff also lol im tall so not im not huge) the hardest part for me is I have worked so hard to loose so much weight, and also my boobs have gotten so much bigger. Im already a d and terrified they won't go back to normal lol. Also on bedrest due to complications which is killing me im very active I cant wait to be able to walk. Good luck ladies I plan in walking with my mom after baby to loose it all again. :)

Oh boy... I know this feeling entirely. My problem, with my first I gained around 60lbs, I had about 25lbs of water weight and then I gained 12 lbs after I had my daughter, (I have issues with birth control and it seemed once I started birth control is when I started gaining the weight, so I stopped, I was on the ortho evra patch)

I found out when my daughter was 5 months that I'm expecting number 2, and I'm trying my HARDEST not to gain any weight this time around... if I do, only a few pounds..

Prepregnancy, I was 156lbs I'm 5'3" but I had a nice body... I loved it, loved my curves and I know I definitely took it for granted. :/ I wore a size 7/9 jeans and now I'm up to a 15/17.

My csection didnt help too much, either. Stupid fanny pack. :/

But she's worth it! I'm scared abt after having her & how my body will be & how long it'll take to loose the weight 120 I was thin!!!

Im only near 10 weeks and these body changes do suck. Ive gained a bit, and already having huge boobs mine are outgrowing the new bras I had to special order last month. O.o i feel so unattractive, I feel like even my bf doesn't want anything to do with me. And once I have the. Baby im walking and working out AS SOON AS I'm cleared to do so. I can't stand the way I feel.

Haha i feel exactly the same! Im so excited and motivated to work my butt off to get my cute butt back ...now its just fat lookin' haha ahh i got 5 weeks to go ...cant freaking wait!!

[kcd2013]

It does sound selfish of us but dangggg I want my cute figure back... I think I took it for granted before haha..my hips and boobs were the first thing to get bigger and now my thighs and butt?!? Goley, I can only imagine what's next. My husband tells me I'm beautiful all the time but I just don't feel sexy right now... I almost 31 weeks and I am so anxious not just for my son but also to see what body is gonna do lol I don't wanna lose my cute lil body just yet! Haha

[OctoberMommy2014]

I am SO glad someone else has said it!!! lol I'm only 8w+5days approximately.. and my bras are already getting to small, my size 3-5 jeans are a JOKE, and love handles?!!! geeeeez!! lol

I'm almost depressed thinking about what my body is going to look like for/during/and after the next 31-33 weeks!! my fiancé swears up and down, "it doesn't matter.. you look great.. you can exercise after.."

I'm like.. do you realize how GORGEOUS my petite, tiny, tight little body was?!! I'm so scared I'll never have that again! lol I'm only 5'1" and I finally got up to a healthy 125lbs. after battling to gain weight after being diagnosed with a colon disease when I was 21.. I've always been around 100-105.. got down to 90 when I was sick.. so I pray, Lord I pray I get my body back! lol

I do feel selfish, I'm thankful for my baby & I'll get as big & miserable as I have to for him/her.. but God please.. let me get my body back! lol

Lol this is my third pregnancy I was in a size 5/6 weighing 133 when I got pregnant with my first I gained 49 pounds my whole pregnancy with him and after I had him I lost all of it except for 13 pounds before I got pregnant after 5 months with my second I wore a 7/8 and weighed 146 I gained 27 pounds with my pregnancy with him and lost it all within 2 months and I'm now pregnant with my third due in September so it is possible to lose the weight I breastfed and started walking around the park and neighborhood at 1 week post partum with each of my sons

[Sandersss]
