Q: Weight gain advice feeling a bit down.

2 years ago I lost almost 4 stone taken me from 13 stone 7 lb UK size 18 to 9 stone 12 lb dress size 10.
I gained a bit of weight during xmas as ya do :) .
I went for my first midwife app at 8 weeks an I'm now 29 weeks and I weigh 13 stone 7 lb so I have put on 2 stone 11 lb. Still quite a few weeks left :/.
This is my 5th baby and weight gain has never bothered me before but since being weighed I feel very down. I know I'm pregnant obviously but k can't help but feel really fat. Anybody els feel down like this ? Does it pass?

I'm not so familiar with "stone" but I can tell you I am currently 28wks and only 7lbs away from my TOTAL weight gain that I had with my first pregnancy. Each weigh in, I would gasp when I saw the gain. Now I'm just settling in and realizing every pregnancy is different and since this is my last pregnancy I am just taking it as it comes and i'll worry about taking it off afterwards. I have to admit I've been eating terribly! Craving junk! But, since I know I'm not going to change because my cravings are strong, I've accepted whatever will come and am just concentrating on being happy :). We go through a lot during pregnancy. This is your 5th and maybe is more weight than u expected, but try not to be too hard on yourself. Keeping mama happy is important! Take care

I gained close to 60 lbs with my first pregnancy, (way too much, i know) But my Drs weren't worried about it, and I was able to get it off afterwards. I am not so worried about my weight this time, only because I know I can get it off if I work.
You sound like you worked hard to get all that weight off, and thats a big deal!! I salute you, and just have faith in yourself that you are a mom, and you can do it!
