Weight
I no this topic is posted on here alot and im normally the person saying "dnt worry about weight, ur creating life, blah blah blah". But after getting on the scales this morning i realised that i weight i massive 14stone, ahhh! I find this really upsetting coz iv not really put weight on anywhere my face hasnt gone chubby, my legs are the same, i literally look like the same person just with a football stuck up my top. I havent even had any swelling. I was a size 14before a fell pregnant and im still a fourteen so i really can't understand it, does anyone have any words of wisdom or advise, coz im feeling quite down now. Kerry xxx

I think if its all belly Kerry you should shift it well, its excess thats hard to move, arse and hips etc.
Ive put on a little flubber on my legs and have developed love handles at the hips but im basically ALL BUMP - its like a football.
Im still squeezing in my size 8 jeans with the help of a hairbobble but yesterday i tried a size 10 trousers on in asda and they wouldnt go anywhere near my bump - i guess its cos ive been wearing and stretching the jeans so long
Still got 13 weeks to go and im dreading fighting the flab when LO arrives not to mention stretchmarks and tearing!!!!!
Kerrymc - If it helps my mum was 7 and a half stone when she fell PG the first time and went up to 12 and a half stone - 5 stone weight gain in total.
She left the hospital the day after having me back in her size 8 pre pregnancy trousers.
It was all water and she was HUGE!
She had 4 kids and gained 5 stone with each - still doenst make me feel any better knowing il probably be the same xxxx
I dnt wana start obsessing over my weight but it has really made me think about what im eating, although over these last few weeks iv hardly had an appitite and my morning sickness seems to have come back over these past few days, so maybe that will slow my weight gain down. Thanks agen girls uv put my mind at rest a little. Kerry xxx
I discussed it with midwive and consultant and its all down to the amount of fluid I am carrying as carrying large amounts of fluid is heavy. Jam donut is completely right about the water.
Hope this helps, I am trying not to worry about it but is difficult. xx
