Wow I'm suddenly growing quickly

Trousers that fit me a couple of weeks ago now don't even come close to doing up! I've put on 1stone 2lbs since I fell pregnant and didn't put any of that on until week 16-17. Think I need to cut back my eating as my appetite is through the roof :-\

no need cut back on what your eatting its normal just make sure its not too much we are only meant to eat an extra 300 cal a day per baby. i put on 5 stone with my first and dropped it all within 2 months, this one i have put on 2 and a half stone and i will drop it again just as easy. best thing do is get some materinty trousers and tops its better and last through your pregnancy x

Try not to panic hon, you and baby need the fuel so don't deprive yourself. Maybe switch items of food that have empty calories however. You'll lose it, just like Tabbi did xxx

Yeah I'm not worried about putting on as much weight as is necessary for LO to be healthy of course but I do think I am seriously over-eating! Trying to cut down a bit now and eat when I'm hungry not just because I think I can eat whatever I want Was just a bit shocked with how quickly I've started growing now that bump has popped out...seems like I went from nothing to 2 sizes bigger in the space of 3 weeks!

Awww hon I do feel your pain. I put on 4lb before I even got to the 12 week mark but thought I can't be arsed to worry and stress about it now because it's done but I do now try and curb fatty things. Snacking on apples and banana's is boring though!!

If your hungrey then just eat when you want to eat. I have put on weight but i dont care - I find munching on fruit fills you up & its healthy too xx

i've put on about 8lbs since finding out! but had an all inclusive holiday and xmas in there too! had no morning sickness just hungry all the time in first trimester! slowed down a bit but still need fueling every couple of hours lol

Yeah I feel sick and light headed if I don't eat. I am definitely eating too much sugar though. Never eaten so much in my life but I'm addicted to chocolate. Really trying to cut down! I already eat LOADS of fruit and veg and other healthy things but just loving cake and chocolate too! Maybe that means it's a girl?! Who knows, as I also love spicy savoury stuff!
