Feeling weighed down?

harperk555 · December 2016

Hi moms!

I'm right at 25 weeks with my first pregnancy. Does anyone else feel lots of pressure and just overall weighed down -mainly towards the end of the day? I mostly love the way I look, but lately every so often I feel a bit blah and puffy. I've always been very in shape and still workout 4-5 times a week with a healthy diet, but can't help feeling a little big overall -anyone else out there feel the same way?

@harperk555 yes! Even though DH and close friends all tell me I look pregnant, I don't feel like I do. I feel like I just look fatter, puffy, swollen thankles (no not cankles, its thigh down so thankles bahaha), pressure, cramping occasionally, exhausted always, etc. etc. I've cried on two separate times looking at everyone's beautiful baby bumps on the HDBD threads feeling like I don't "fit in". Then I get over myself and feel fine. Damn hormones!

@Nolegirl1185 I feel the exact same way! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I get jealous of the cute round bumps on HDBD as well, but am slowly getting better at accepting how my body handles pregnancy. Plus, I feel like I actually have a bump now instead of looking like my entire stomach gained weight.

Yes, and I've felt this way for weeks! This is my third so I expected to get big right away, but I'm already to the point I can't wear my wedding or engagement ring. I've gained 30 lbs. already, feel out of breath a lot, my hands are puffy, and working full time this go round means I am exhausted by the end of the day. Thankfully, just a few more months to go!
