Pregnant after a Loss

Changes

My body is rapidly expanding....my underware no longer fits and neither do any of my regular pants.  I'm only two pounds more than my prepregnancy weight but I feel like I've gained a whole lot more.  I'm not at the stage where I'm looking pregnant yet....I just look fat.  Add to that the fact that I am pretty really overweight, and my mind is just screaming at me that gaining weight is wrong.  I've tried to talk to DH but he just says that it's good that I'm gaining.  I'm really happy that everything is going well and that the babies are healthy, but I never figured that this would bother me so much.  It's totally taken me off guard.  Thanks for listening to this whiney vent.  I hope that everyone is having a great night.  Thanks!

Re: Changes

  • You may not notice the changes, but you see yourself every day. I'm sure someone who say you 3 months ago would notice you are starting to look pregnant. Hopefully maternity pants will make you feel more comfy.

  • I had a growth spurt over the past month and I am now measuring 25cm .. which my doc said is a few weeks ahead of where I am but good since I am having twins. However I feel huge! I have only gained 3 pounds though .. and in fact in the first few months I lost weight because all the nausea so I am not even back to my pre pregnancy weight. Doesn't seem to be affecting the babies though they are growing .. and growing .. and growing! 

    I was dealing with being so big all the sudden then some man at the store told me yesterday I looked like I was ready to pop any day now. Grrr .. then I was feeling huge all day!  I will be 20 weeks on sunday .. with boy/ girl twins. 

    Good luck!   =)
