Weight gain blues :-(

Kuuipo1006

I know I'm supposed to be gaining weight but I still wanna cry every time I step on the scale. I love being pregnant and I've had such a great pregnancy so far. Everyone tells me I look so great and have such a nice glow...but I don't see it. All I see in pics of me is boobs and belly and grossness. I still have 15 weeks left and I've almost gained 20 pounds so far. How is everyone else doing with this? I just wanna know I'm not crazy for feeling this way!

Sounds like you are pretty much on track to gain the reccommended weight of 25-35 or so!

I totally understand!  I have ~14 weeks left and have gained over 20 pounds so far.... it's a tough thing to see, since we monitor our weight our entire life- and to keep seeing the numbers on the scale rise each time we step on it... but just realize that it means the baby is getting bigger and stronger :-)

Your right on track. I have gained 9 and still have 24 weeks!

Don't weigh yourself! Pre-pregnancy I weighed myself every day. Now I just wait to go to the doctor. If you're being reasonable about you eat and just doing the best you can, there's no point in making yourself upset every day.

I don't even own a scale luckily!! I make sure to not allow one in my house.It is just when I go to the doctor . I think it has a lot to do with me losing over 25 pounds last year before my wedding and now being back to where I was. Its all for my baby girl...and I know it will be worth it :-)

I am still in the early stages yet and while I am anticipating getting my bump, I am saying goodbye to all the hard work I have put into keeping my body fit. (I am a personal trainer) so exercise is a daily thing for me, but everything has changed now that I am pregnant. I have put on 5 or so lbs so far and am in the "thick" stage right now....I feel gross, and worry that if I feel big now, WHOA I am in for it in a few months! I also worry that as I continue to grow, I won't be as motivating as a trainer!

I get it---ALL WORTH IT, but it's still tough.

I wish I'd only gained that much! I'm up 40 and am now on a meal program to see if it will help curb the weight gain. You're doing great!

It sounds like you are doing just fine. I have gained 12 pounds so far and am almost 21 weeks.

Stop standing on the scale.

I don't own a scale and, until recently when curiosity got the best of me and I just had to ask, I didn't even know how much I had gained. I just figured my doctors would let me know if they were concerned about me gaining too much/too little. Just take care of yourself and don't pay too much attention to the numbers. As long as both you and the LO are okay at the end of these 9 or so months, there are worse things than feeling a bit dumpy in your clothes for awhile

I don't weigh myself but I rarely go to the bathroom so I feel like a fat blob!! Im only 14 weeks & have probably gained 10 lbs already.. im fine with that part, but feel absolutely horrible.. Wish I had a diarrhea spell ! That definitely would help me at least feel better! 

 

ALL you pics above motivate me to be a beautiful pregnant lady: but you should see me now in my hubs inside-out white tee & pj pants that are too short, also on inside out! hahaha!  My breasts looks like 2 huge eggs over easy ! hahahhaaaa!

I totally know how you feel.  I have gained 14 pounds and I still have quite a ways to go.  I would say to just stop weighing yourself.  I am trying to stop myself.  Then maybe you won't drive yourself crazy!
