hey girlies,

Just wondering if anyone else is piling on the pounds or if its just me? I stepped on the scales today and have put on 4 1/2 lbs since finding out i was pregnant about 5 weeks ago- At this rate of a pound a week I'll have put on 40 lbs by due date - 3 + stone! Argh!

Ok, I do admit I am sitting here with a now empty jaffa cake packet beside me, but i feel so hungry! then if i don't eat i feel sick and if i get really really hungry I am sick. it makes no sense at all.

I feel so yuck, tubby and bloated, goodbye skinny jeans...sob

No ive actually lost 4 lbs!!
Think as I am eating healthier (although had a huge chinese tonight) its coming down although my belly is def growing out!

I think for me though its the no booze thing as I loved wine or cider at the weekend.

I keep feeling huge and expecting to get on the scales and be massive but the last 2 weeks ive stayed the same x

Well I still had 4lbs to lose from my first baby so I'm not really onto a winner. I came back from a holiday in the US at the end of the month and since then I've just stuffed chocolate and carbs and done no exercise. I can feel my tummy thickening already but haven't got the guts to get on the scales. But I reckon I've done at least 3lbs of damage already.

I'm the same as MrsM and have lost, i've actually lost half a stone since finding out, which is totally down to not fancying anything to eat. Bleurgh. I'm trying to eat little and often, i just can't manage big meals at the minute.

I know the exact feeling!! Even after i've eaten a feast, i still feel so hungry!! And last night I woke up about 4am feeling so hungry. My last pregnancy I completly lost my appetite, this time around I think I will be piling on the pounds!x

Its strange because Im hardly eating anything, just very small meals and I am getting a huge tummy. Hardly any of my trousers/jeans fit and if they do Im left with a hugely unattractive muffin top. I reckon Im about the same size I was at 17/18 weeks with my DD. They do reckon 2nd/3rd babies show early so Im sticking with that excuse xx

G/C from DIJ2012, hollyplusone, i'm the same as you, really struggling to eat anything more than a small childs portion of food before I get really uncomfortable and my tummy swells up. I was in maternity trousers @ 8 weeks because of this and I have an enormous tummy, and this is my first baby!

Turns out i've lost over a stone since my 6 week booking in appointment! x

Ive just eaten, three ritz crackers with cheese and I am so full! Its most peculiar, don't remember feeling like this before. I am sure my capacity for food will return soon!xx
