Just a question about weight gain

Ok this may be a dumb question but Im curious. Why is it that some pregnant women gain weight everywhere and some its all belly? I feel like i've started to gain weight on my ass, thighs, belly, everywhere! My bestfriend gained only belly, nowhere else. Is it to do with your eating habits or is it just the way your body is. I know in order for me to be "skinny" I have to work out and eat right and I know other women dont have to do that. Just wondering...

It just depends on your body. Everyone is differnt.
Even though some people follow the old wives tale that women who are having girls gain all over and women who are having boys gain all belly.

I know everyone is diff. With my first at 22 weeks I had gained about 65 lbs. I ate really healthy but I am guessing something was wrong that dr.s didn't tell me. This time I only gained 10lbs. and I am not really showing granted i am a chubby girl I was size 18/20 before I got preggers again

EVERYONE is constantly telling me i'm all belly.. but I was small before I got pregnant and these people see me every day so I don't think they can tell like I can. I don't have stretchmarks on my belly, but all on my ass and boobs. And people say i'm not gaining anywhere else!!! (well the boobs is an obvious) But anyway.. I can't even attempt to get on even my stretchy shorts I used to wear pre-preggo... I think it happens to all of us  


Oh, and as of 2 weeks ago, I had gained 35 pounds total!! EEEKK!! Started at 124 and on the 7th was 159...

it could be true first was a girl. and man i did gain all over 160 lbs over. this time it is a boy!!

everyone is different. and I'm sure some of it has to do with what you eat while you're pregnant.

I gained 85 lbs while I was pregnant.
but pre pregnancy I used to never eat, so I messed up my metabolism.. and once I started eating I gained it everywhere. I was also 20 lbs underweight when I got pregnant.

with Koen I had gained 50 lbs by 25 weeks..

don't you love it?

Must be just the way your body is. I have gained weight everywhere: booty, arms, thighs, calves, boobs, and face is chubby. Plus, I got more cellulite than I have ever had. I mean it goes to my knees on either thigh and I have some on my arms. EW!
I think I should've workedout more. I just haven't been doing any of that since the day i found out i was pregnant because i was so exhausted. I should've in my 2nd tri...don't have a reason why i didn't. I added junk food to my diet too. So bad. I never ate so much junk food after high school til now. O'well I am happy bec I get a baby girl.

I kinda was mad when I weighed myself yesturday and saw i put on another 5 lbs. But thats just because I was losing the weight from number 1 who just turned 3! I just don't want to be one of those moms who say its all from there pregnacy when their kid is already 5.

With my first I only gained in my belly, with this one I'm gaining in my butt thighs, belly, you name it. So every pregnancy and person is different.

it has to do with your body type. i'm like you, when not preggo i have to bust my ass in order for me to stay skinny, i'm not naturally skinny. so when we get preggo and start to eat more we gain everywhere just like we would if we weren't preggo and ate unhealthy and didn't exercise. i've gained everywhere also!

Quoting Jackie [due12-25-08]:“ Boobs and ass!! woohooo  lol”

lol, yes, I say woo hoo too, cause i've NEVER had an ass before... still only me and my hubs can tell, but I wish it would go away! I don't like it! And the boobs are just OUT OF CONTROL. I was a 34C pre-preggo, now i'm a heapin 36DD.. I wanna CHOP EM OFF!!!!

Lol yeah I tried on some sweat pants and they were tight! I was like OMG whats going on. I guess with my body type, Im going to be gaining everywhere.

Thats what I was thinking   I guess I'll have to just work twice as hard after I have my baby to get thin again
