    Feeling Fat..

    With DD I was so in love with being pregnant. I LOVED gaining weight because i was excited for a big belly. This time, I feel so fat. I am about 19 weeks and look about 3o weeks. I am not a big girl, but my stomach muscles are so stretched out from DD...I feel like the end of the day I look 6 months pregnant..

    Its bringing me down.. I dont feel cute...I have already gained 6 pounds

    I feel your pain hun.This is my 5th child & my stomach muscles don't like me anymore lol!I have been relatively fit with all my other pregnancies (walked 12 plus kms a day with my last one ) but last year i was suffering majorly from depression & put on weight & became a bit of a hermit & of course wasn't actually planning on getting pregnant again so i have really blown out with this one & already look big & pregnant & fat .There isn't much i can do about it right now except try & get some exercise & eat right so i'm not going to worry about it until after the baby is born.At least i can say i'm not fat ,i'm pregnant lol.I'll worry about the just fat part later

    I know exactly how you feel. I also loved being pregnant and having a fat belly with my DS last time. This pregnancy i am constantly sick, have put on 5kgs already and am only 14weeks, and im so tired all the time. As much as i am so excited to have another baby and have my family complete, i also get down as im a tiny person and my family keep saying to me ill be the side of a house soon!

    I guess im just a naturally active person so feeling sick and tired all the time makes me down as i love feeling good and getting out and doing things.

    Lol, he didn't say it meanly, he was looking at my stomach and said it as an true observation in his eyes lol.. I was a bit shocked but oh well.. If he had said my a$$ was getting fat though.... Different story Lol

    DH lovingly rubs my belly and tells me how fat I'm getting all the time ^^;
    being pregnant when you have on to look after is much harder I think. That first pregnancy is definitely the
    "honey moon" pregnancy! I enjoyed it a lot more than this one, which makes me feel a little guilty because this will be our last also.

    helle- I totally agree! 1st pregnancy was definitely the honeymoon pregnancy. I loved every stretch mark and pound gained With this one..I know what to expect..and its not that awesome anymore lol

    Blessed- haha..oh man..dont even get me started on my a$$ lol. I am a pretty small girl but when I get pregnant my a$$ thinks it is pregnant as well. I think it is due to my hips getting ginourmously huge...lol

    I feel exactly the same - I loved being preg with DD and loved that I showed early and had a beautiful big bump. This time I just feel fat! My belly seems huge already and I feel really self-conscious of it because I'm still so early in the pregnancy and don't think I should be looking this big for another couple of months! I haven't really put on much weight, just seem to have a big bump already.
