Overweight and pregnant
posted 13th Jan
I know it probably sounds silly.... but I'm so upset then when I do finally get pregnant, I wont look pregnant... just extra fat.
With my first baby I was 18, and only weighed about 110lbs. So I was all belly. With my second baby, I was 21 and weighed about 132lbs. I gained a bit in the arms and face with the pregnancy, but was still mostly belly. I lost the baby weight, but then went through a really rough patch, I got PPD, and started the whole process of finding the right bc. I gained so much weight. I am now about 187lbs.... the heaviest I have been in my life, including when I was almost 42 weeks pregnant. I'm trying my hardest to lose weight. I've been exercising when I can (it's not as often as I would like though) and I've changed my diet heaps. Did anyone else feel like this when they were TTC? I know it sounds stupid.

I was about that weight when I started to TTC my second. After 3 months of not conceiving I gave up and decided I wanted my hot bod back. after I dropped 20lbs, I got pregnant. lol
I was also exercising a lot when I got pregnant with my first.

It's always a good idea to eat properly and exercise when you can But don't worry about the other stuff. I was 190 when I got pregnant with my daughter 12 years ago. I wasen't showing a stupid baby bump at 2 months or anything like some of these skinny chicks but I was definitely and quite obviously pregnant from 5 months on
