No offense to anyone, but....
....if you still have skinny thighs, I hate you! LOL! No, just kidding, but I am jealous. I wish I could be someone who only gets bigger in the belly when pregnant, but for me the weight shows up in my thighs, bum, arms, face... pretty much all over! This is my third pregnancy, and I know the weight will come off after the baby is born (at least it did the first two times) but when I see other women in my birth center waiting room who are skinny all over except for in the belly, I look at myself and have to sigh. Not me! Can anyone else admit to jealousy?

Re: No offense to anyone, but....
Yeah, I'm jealous of those skinny girls, too. Shame on them! They should have to fill out everywhere!
don't be too jealous. I might only be gaining in my belly now but wait til I am in my third tri. I will blow up like a balloon. My whole body gains about 30 lbs half of which is water weight in the third tri. i barely recognized myself.
Heck I hated skinny leg people before I was pregnant! lol!
I'm certainly gaining in places other than my belly too but trying my best to be positive about it. DH is loving the new, larger girls even though at a nice full C they weren't tiny before by any means.

Hey Lady I sent you an email the other day did you get it? I hope I didnt send it to the wrong email address
Heh this is how I feel... I haven't really gained anywhere other than my belly yet other than maybe a little in my boobs but I was pretty curvy everywhere else (other than my boobs) to begin with so I don't think anyone would confuse me with one of those skinny pregnant ladies.
So far that's the only place I've gained...
Which was one of the last places I wanted to gain already being a DDD to begin with.
LOL!!!! I'm def carrying the baby weight in my butt and thighs. It must be because I can eat a whole package of Oreos in a day.
Yum Oreos!

Hahaha too funny... My wardrobe right now consists of yoga pants, and one pair of maternity jeans!
Yeah this is what happened last pregnancy with me, and I'm sure it's slowly happening again. I'm a little person to start out, but I do gain it all over and not just in the belly.
This EXACTLY...minus the C, I'm officialy a D now and afraid of whats to come!
my thighs have never not touched so I'm thankful that while they are still touching they are not growing!
This is why it is so important to remember (whether pregnant or not) that women put on weight in different places and you cannot compare your body to someone who has a different shape. I finally came to terms with this about 5 years ago when I realized that I put on weight in my breasts, arms, and hips but never on my waist or stomach. Even now you can tell that my waist and stomach do not have fat but are bigger because of the growth of my uterus and baby. But my friend, who is due a week after me, puts on weight on her stomach, hips, and thighs/butt so we look very differently.
On a related note: an older woman at work was commenting on my growing belly last week and then asked me to turn around to see if my butt had also grown (?!). I told her that it hadn't changed - that I've only gained in the front - and she said that I was definitely having a girl. Then, this weekend, my aunt also made me turn around to see my butt. I guess the inappropriate comments have begun!
This. I finally got a butt! And yes, my boobs got bigger! But so did my middle so boo
lol
yep, I'm getting bigger in the thighs too. It sucks. There is no way I could wear normal pants, even if I wore a bella band or something.
I even have stretch marks on my thighs from my last pregnancy. That is how much those suckers grew!
