September 2013 babies!!

I agree with wag. I think girls only ask those questions to fuel their own insecurities. We all have insecurities. Weight being one that I'd say every girl has an issue with. Regardless of your size. We all want to be thinner, taller, more toned-whatever it may be. I have some friends that look amazing whilst pregnant. Only put on baby bump and once they've had baby they are back to normal size by the time they leave hospital. I'm normally a very slim person, but for whatever reason I balloon out while pregnant. It takes me close to 8-12months to slowly shed the weight. I always manage to get back to pre pregnancy weight (through a lot of hard work) but I get there between all my pregnancies. I tune out to those around me, I focus on knowing I am doing what is needed to grow a big healthy baby inside me. I then also have plenty of milk when I breast feed and don't jeopardise my supply by dieting once I've had the baby. It always comes off but so very slowly. Just focus on the big picture. Do what is needed to keep that baby growing beautifully. And every body's body will function differently. You shed the weight last time and you will do again
Ps-super excited about your scan!!! The day has finally come!! I too will be sleeping so look forward to the news when I'm up!!
Hope you get a pic to upload for us! x

Thorz- I'm really struggling with my weight gain as well. Like you I started out very underweight so I keep trying to remind myself I needed the extra pounds but its still so hard. If I go by my normal average weight then I've gained about 18lbs but going by my true starting weight I'm already up 35lbs at only 23 weeks! I always get down to my pre pregnancy size but it gets harder after each baby and I worry about it after this one.

As for your friends I agree with WAG and Salsa, I think they are trying to make themselves feel better by asking and I think telling them you just don't weigh yourself during pregnancy is a great way to make them stop asking.

Thinking of you today, can't wait for your update later!!

Thorz, It is so hard when your closest friends are the ones that really enjoy your misery! I have a few like that too and even if they dont mean to be that way everything is always a competition! I think the other girls are right, maybe try just avoiding the topic all together. Or depending on how annoyed you get with hearing the remarks you might just kindly remind them of your starting weight when getting pregnant!!

WAG, at my appointment Tuesday I had gained 7lbs in the last month as well! Eeek...its always hard gaining weight no matter how much! Specially right now since we are only half way! I have only gained 20 lbs each in my previous pregnancies and Im already at 9 this time! Im actually excited to be pregnant through the summer though cuz I hope to stay pretty active!

Thorz any news!

I've gained tonns I think it was the release from Le combined with feeling better after 13wks MS and a bit of depression about stressful pregnancy I never way myself in pregnancy bubba is number one its insecurity if they're keepin on tbh they are probably just delighted for once they are relatively trimer than you - ignore I I suspect in a yrs time you'll be back in your jeans and they won't
