Pregnancy Weight Gain

Has any other expecting mamas just gained weight and thickness everywhere during pregnancy?? I swear… all of a sudden my legs, thighs, arms, face, and hands have gotten bigger out of nowhere. There’s been weight that has accumulated behind my knees!! Is this normal? I’m trying to remind myself that this is temporary and my body is going through so much but my, oh my…. It’s become uncomfortable, both physically and emotionally. Please send some love and encouragement my way. 🙏🏼

Yes!! Everything is puffy! I’m sure we’ll go back to our more-normal sizes once’s babies are here. Try not to be hard on yourself. Our bodies are doing what they need to do to grow humans!

I've gained 25 pounds already. I try not to eat too much, too. It's so hard, and now I'm thick everywhere.

@Kainyn Thank you for the reminder. 🙏🏼 I’m really trying not to be hard on myself but it’s getting to be shocking amounts.

@Susan I’m with you, Susan. Other than a decrease in normal day-to-day activities (my husband and I agreed I wouldn't clean or lift heavy things), I have no idea how it could have accumulated so fast. It’s gotten to the point where even walking is uncomfortable. I also don't feel like I'm eating much more than I use to, but perhaps just a few more light snacks throughout the day.

OMG YES! And just sitting I swear I just feel chunky everywhere lol constantly reassuring yourself your pregnant and beautiful helps and always remember what we are doing is AMAZING! We are literally growing little humans inside of us and we won’t feel so crazy forever lol

Yup same here .. I just want to cry so badly .. I'm super overweight now... I know I was going to gain weight just didn't think I'd gain so much..... Having kids for me is taking a toll . I love them but I don't recognize my self anymore.....
