Q: Gaining Weight

I'm terrified of gaining weight during my pregnancy and getting stretch marks. I'm 7 and 1/2 months and no one can even tell that i'm pregnant still. I wonder if it'll stay like that.

Your going to gain weight. And you might get stretch marks. Not everyone does. But almost everyone does...

Your like me, I havent gottten much of a belly yet, but trust me. It'll pop out. And when it does there is a good chance you will get stretch marks. Cuz it will happen all at once.

Like jordan said...Suck it up. Lol

Yeah, it is a small price to pay. How does the weight go away after you give birth, does it just go away by itself if you haven't gained a lot or do you have to work it off?

A lot of it will just go away...But your going to have to work off a lot of it. If you eat well and gain steady weight like your supposed to it wil be much easier. Walk and stuff and eat healthy. You'll be fine!

Yeah dont worry too much, a lot of the weight is fluid and baby but if you do end up getting stretch marks there are so many ways to make them fade....If you dont mind me asking why are you so tiny in your 3rd trimester?

Its mostly heredity so gaining weight doesent have much to do with whether or not you get strech marks.

I dont know why im still small, i've gained 11 lbs so far. I eat regularly I do have a tiny belly that only I can notice but I think i'm huge. My mother and sister weren't big during their pregnancies so I think I inherited that from them
