Weight gain -- all baby or all over?

melody921 · May 2012

How is everyone carrying the baby weight? With DS, I was pretty much all baby, a giant, almost pointy stomach. This time around, while I still have a large belly, I've definitely gained in other places -- legs, hips, even arms! I'm hoping it's easy to lose after DD is born.

I'm having a boy - and so far, it's been all baby - and the giant pointy stomach is growing! Although the two pieces of pizza I just had for lunch may change that...

I've put it all in my boobs and thighs. I'm up 13 pounds so far and every bit of it is in those two places. I can't find pants that fit because if they fit my legs, they are too big on the waist and vice-versa. Bras have been a real treat to shop for as well now that I've gone from a 36D to a 40DDD. Thank goodness Lane Bryant carries DDD's - didn't even know there was such a size.

I'm all baby. Still can't tell from behind that I'm pregnant. That's how I was with DD also. In fact, that's the reason why my dad said he didn't believe that I was actually having a girl.

I'm having a girl and to-date have just been all baby. Trying to keep up with light weight lifting and interval walking.

I'm carrying a girl and it seems to be all her in my belly and no where else.

My boy is spreading the weight. I've got a good belly, but it's also in my thighs, butt, boobs and arms. Ok, so pretty much all over.

OMG, I'm also a DDD right now and had no idea that this even existed until a few weeks ago. Soma, if you have that store near you, carries that size too.

For the most part, all baby, but I'm starting to feel like there's a bit extra in my thighs.

I'm having a girl and the weight is everywhere. I have a pretty good sized belly, but you can definitely tell my ankles are huge, my bewbs don't fit in any of my bras anymore, and there's no way I would be able to fit into any of my non-pregnancy pants, my hips are so big!

lilchippy · May 2012

I am having a girl and am mostly belly and boobs. I posted yesterday I have gain about 23 pounds in the 23 weeks. The funny thing is I can still fit into my pre-preg pants....not comfortably and not to actually wear, but I can tget them on which does make me feel a bit better!

I do know my hip are wider and my thighs are bigger, but not much. My boobs are huge! I went from a 32 B to a 34 D! I would love them so much more if they didnt hurt so bad!

Having a boy and I really am all baby or belly!

Jumpin4joy · May 2012

I'm having a boy and I'm putting it on everywhere! UGH! I had a little belly fat before pregnancy (I was a size 12) and DS is just pushing that all out. I just look fat. Not pregnant. I would love to have a pretty bump even if the weight was everywhere but I just look lumpy. Boo.

Bookelly · May 2012

Carrying a girl, and so far I'm all boobs (34G) and belly.

Nita2603 · May 2012

I was all boobs and baby last time with DS and it seems it is the same this time - and we are having another boy. I seem to be gaining a lot slower this time around, though.

Mom2Mack1 · May 2012

I've noticed I have more weight in my hips & thighs this time. Could be I walked almost everyday at lunch when I was working now I don't work. Also, my boobs are heavier!

highhopes42012 · May 2012

So far all baby. I'm up 15lbs but it went straight to my belly and a tiny bit in my boobs. Hopefully it'll stay like that! I'm only 5ft tall so if I gain all over, I'm going to look like an oompa-loompa.

lcherian · May 2012

I was 101 pre pregnancy and I'm up to 108 now. People say I'm all belly, but I feel more spread out? This is my third pregnancy and it's a girl. I was all belly with my daughter (28 pound weight gain) and super all belly with my son (21 pound weight gain).

BillyMollyEmmy · May 2012

I'm fat all over. I don't fit into anything that I did pre-pregnancy. My ass is giant, my thighs are giant, my arms are giant. my belly is giant. I am giant. LOL

DolphinLover2002 · May 2012

I guess I've just noticed it in my belly and my boobs. You can't tell I'm pregnant by looking at me from behind. I'm still in that weird stage though where strangers look at me like "is she that fat, or pregnant?". My coworkers say I have a cute baby bump, but I just don't see it yet.

Krista123105 · May 2012

I've gained 7 pounds, and so far I'm pretty much all belly and boobs. We'll see if that changes over the next 15 weeks though...lol.

chizekgeena · May 2012

I'm up 20lbs and having a girl. It is pretty much all over (I'm up about a size or 2) and I also have a pretty large bump now. My boobs have gone from a 34b to a 34d.

alice2Bcheshire · May 2012

It's everywhere. I have quite a bump, my bewbs are huge, my upper arms look thicker (I saw a pic from Mother's Day and wanted to cry), and my hips/thighs/ass are bigger, too. Also, I think I have back fat. Lovely. Only 18 weeks to go :-/
