Can we talk about cellulite!?

edited May 2015 in November 2015 Moms
So to start off, I'm 17 weeks today and for the last couple weeks I have noticed an increase in cellulite on my butt and thighs, almost done to my knees!!  I had a little before I was pregnant on my butt but now it's like woah!!  I'll be honest--I hate it and I'm constantly aware and self-conscious of it--but I'm wondering if anyone else is noticing this?  And any experience moms, does it go away once you lose the baby weight??  Thanks!

    FTM here and am not experiencing this (yet - knock on wood), but would also love to hear from experienced moms!  Cellulite and stretch marks are a bit terrifying to me.  I know that makes me sound like an image-obsessed narcissist, but hey, aren't we all just a little bit?

    I am the same way this is my second and I have a lot again and only 16 weeks now. Unfortunately I got horrible stretch marks in these areas too but kept on the lotion and lost the 60 I gained. U can def get it gone after having your baby and exercising for sure!

    Im pretty sure cellulite is one of those shitty things that doesnt care if you're fat or thin, pregnant or not, a gym bunny or a sofa monster... if it's gonna get you, it's gonna get you. Caffeine is meant to help, so i mix coffee grounds with a bit of olive or coconut oil and use it as a scrub on my legs...no idea if its helping the cellulite but my legs are soft and smooth...and sometimes I even remember to clean the tub after so people dont fall over in the oil slick I leave behind.

    Glad to hear it will go away :-) I do without a lot and eat healthy so there's really not much else to do I guess other than wait till after baby is here to drop the weight!

    We can talk about it but do we have to? ;)

    I noticed I have a little more on my thighs. I'm a pretty damn healthy chick but I think it happens to everyone. Just use it as fuel to your fire and motivation for when you're clear to work out again.
