[floridagirl]

Hi everyone,
I ve not been on here for weeks as I ve been so ill (the joys of pregnancy) I am 11 weeks now and feeling slightly better!!!
I am not eating as much as I normaly do but since getting pregnany I have gained a STONE I am already overweight and this is really worring me as I just look like a mess!!!
I do have an underactive thyroid so going to ring the doctors to check my level.
I am putting on 1 - 2 pounds very day and look at least 6 months pregnant, Its really getting me down and I am scared to eat anything!!!!!!!!!
sorry for the rant guys!!!!!

Are you eating healthily? I would see your GP regarding your thyroid but in the meantime the only thing you can do is make sure you're eating properly try not to worry too much

Im nearly 21weeks and iv only put on 8lb But with my daughter i put on alot i never weighed myself tho But this time i have been eating healthier so maybe check what your eating or talk to your Dr or midwife if your worried but everyones weight gain is different x

I havent weighed myself, not sure what i was before i got pregnant or what i am now but i just know i've put on weight...the arms on my coat are getting tighter...got a holiday to Cyprus next month for a family wedding so dreading looking huge!

I go to Florida in 6 weeks for 3weeks so who knows how big I'll be then ha ha ha!!!!

I am terrified of weighing myself and refuse to do it! I figured as long as I'm not going too over the top, then weight gain during pregnancy is inevitable and can all be sorted out once bubba is born. I'm just trying to enjoy it and I know that weighing myself will just upset me, so I don't!

My sister in law told me now to worry about putting on weight as apparently when you breast feed it helps take it off again. It was definitely true for her but not sure about everyone?

i put on four stone with my last two and am really really showing now at 16wks and it also going on my bum and love handles. I show from very early and anothing i seem to do helps me shop putting on the weight i just think im one of them ppl that gets massive when pregnant my mam carrys the same as me we are both really tall and thin but i seen her pregnant 9 years ago with my little brother and she looked just like i do when i pregnant so i blame her lol. i,ve always lost it after with hard work tho it didnt just fall off like some ppl say but i did do it. So this time im not going to worry i think it prob going to be my last pregnancy so im just going to try and enjoy it im sure you will be fine xxxxxxxxxxxx

I put on about a stone in the first 12 weeks cos I was eating to stop from feeling sick. Haven't weighed myself since then but dread to think what it might be!! Gulp, just gonna have to work super hard after the birth to sort it out I guess, but I know how you feel.
