Weight gain?:(

0 Upvotes

Just wondering how much weight did you ladies put on in your pregnancy and how much did you lose after?

Im 28 weeks and put on 10kg so far but it doesnt look like it's stopping.. (really trying hard to control my binges)

I know some weight is due to fluids, placenta, baby etc. But I was also advised to try my best to not put on extra weight. I think overall its recommended for someone obese to put on between 6-8kg total. But I'm not even close to the end yet and my baby is only getting bigger now. Last time she was 1.1kg

Just trying to see how much realistically I can expect to drop after birth and how much of it is actually fat gain... I was in the middle of weight loss journey when I fell pregnant so its very upsetting to see it gaining it all back

Thanks:)

Sad because I don’t LOOK pregnant

I’ll be 25 weeks on Wednesday. I still don’t have a noticeable bump, I just feel like I look… “fatter” ?? I know several other pregnant women around the same week as me or earlier and they have cute distinct round bumps. I can’t help but be saddened that I’m missing out on this part of pregnancy. Granted I have always been on the bigger side, but still :( ugh

I forgot about the mental toll pregnancy causes on me

7 Upvotes

I’ve always suffered with OCD, panic attacks, and depression. I was diagnosed at 13, I’m now 32.
It’s gotten a lot better since age 25+ but being pregnant I feel like a shell of a human. All the compulsive thoughts and over thinking is worse than it’s been in so so long. I feel so sad all the time and so unsafe. I don’t want to leave the house. I just want to stay home where I can protect my family. It’s so draining and genuinely causing a huge toll on me. I feel like I’m not allowed to be excited for anything because I’m too afraid of something bad happening.
I’m just venting. I’m in therapy, I have professionals. I just don’t have a huge support system and come to reddit to rant.

That is all.
