Lol im sure noone wants to hear this but im a huge crybaby right now. I cant get a hold of my emotions. Btw, the baby is moving and ok :d but back 2 the point. I have put on alot of weight. I used to weigh like 125 like 8 months be4 I got preggy then it just added and added. I gain weight very easily and have always had a problem with it. And here I am 197 lbs and still have 2 & half more months to go and it aint all tummy . Im gaining it in my legs, butt, arms, face everywhere! I feel really disgusted and I dont want to offend anyone by sounding selfish but there is no excuse for me gaining this much. I cant blame it on being "pregnant" I have been beating myself up and the whole problem is I cant control it and it drives me nuts! I have like no self discipline. The other day my dad said I probably weigh more than him and as my aunt came to give me a kiss hello she made her face look all puffy. Making fun of mine. Then me and eric were eating at a resturaunt and there was a mirror on the side of us and I got so sick watching myself eat. Its sick I know. And to top off everything else he and I were trying to make love and I just couldnt do it. I was crying and all he was trying to do was tell me im beautiful but I felt like a whale and made him stop. Sorry guys I just had to type this out I just got done bawling my eyes out and I just had to post it. I just cant get a hold of myself. Thanks for listening though. ~ erica.

Yeah don't worry about it, I cry sometimes too. I feel like a fat pig and i'm not even that big. It's just that I know I was a lot smaller for my son. Don't worry the feelings eventually go away once you hold that beautiful little boy in your arms. We all have to sacrifice something in life and I guess my figure for now is okay.

It all depends on her starting weight and activity level. Too much for one person may not be enough for someone else. That was just plain uncalled for and an uneducated response.

Honey, you will be fine. As long as you are eating healthy gaining is perfectly normal! I am sure you feel fat, but the baby needs you to gain weight. So, don't worry. It will all be over soon and well worth it!

Whatever I dont care what she says. The good thing about it is that I dont look 197 lbs! But I am so ah well. 104 lbs? You sound like you have the body of an 11 year old. My baby is growing inside of me. And for your info, if u are underweight u will gain more than normal women do . Sooo think about it. And no I am not slowly killing myself retard. You make it sound like I am some 500 lb obese woman. Please and do me a favor get over yourself twig! . I guess I have to watch what I say I dont aprreciate being put down about things. Thats not why I posted. Thanks to everyone else who supported me. And you'll see staci ..... Just watch how much you gain. ~ erica.

once again, i'm sorry. I just meant that it seemed to be a lot. 125 to 197. I'm 104, so I hope I don't get that big, I would cry. I'm sure she is very pretty, it's just that that's a lot to put on yourself. She could be slowly killing herself, and the baby could have problems.

stacy do everyone a favor and shut up! She is eating healthy for her child and you have no place to be speaking!

Erica if you want to get back into pre-pregnant shape after the baby, try walking and eating a little heathier now. Also try cutting out stuff high in sodium, like ramen noodles, tv dinners, try fresh veggies instead of canned, all of that will help. You might be retaining alot of water if you are taking in alot of sodium!

Its just hormomes like everyone says dear. Dont worry and cry to us all you want, venting is fine. Just try walking a bit and that might help you with your feelings too, a little physical activity can go a way!

As for you stacy? How dare you say that to her! I'm sure youre going to cry when you hit 110. I weigh 105 right now *and yes erica I kinda do have the lower body of an 11 year old :p * but later on when I do want kids I wouldnt care about the weight!

Erica, i'm so sorry. I could just be emotional but I almost cried reading your first post. I know how you feel about not feeling sexy now. Of course, i'm only 9 weeks but i'm starting to get a lil... Chubby. It's depressing but you're gonna have a baby that is gonna be the cutest thing in the whole world. Plus... You only have 2 months to go so you're almost done! :-d oh, and I know you don't know me but I just felt bad that you felt bad.

You will be just fine! Yes, some people do hardly gain anything and go right back to pre-pregnancy weight asap, but you cannot control that. The important thing is that you eat healthy for you and your baby and worry about the excess weight after you give birth! The baby being healthy is way more important!!!!

Erica I know how you feel! I was just looking in the mirror yesterday and I just wanted to cry! I have stretch marks everywhere! I'm even starting to worry about having my family (other than my husband) in the delivery room with me b/c I feel so fat and disgusting. It's all just a part of being pregnant though and it will be so worth it in the end! Hang in there it's almost over! You started out very thin so it's probably a good thing that you've put on the extra weight. The baby needs it! Look at me and jordan! We're huge!!!!! Just remember that you're not alone! We're all here for you! Love ya sweetie!

Angie

p.S. I was gonna say something about stacie's comment but I figured it's best that I just keep my mouth shut! I'm on bedrest for a reason! Lol!
