I worked out a ton before PG, and during this pregnancy it just hasn't happened. My legs have turned into fat and it has really depressed me...especially since I'm now starting to swell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-gained-a-lot-of-weight-during-your-pregnancy-could-you-tell#post-179602 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:52:09 +0000 chrispygal 179602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gained quite a bit and in the beginning it was all belly. I had lots of comments that my butt didn't get any bigger and that I looked great. These past few weeks though I am really feeling it in my legs and I can see it in my face. I'm getting "swelly" and it's starting to spread all over. Oh joy! I am trying to mentally prepare myself for post-baby and the work that will be involved with getting this weight off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-gained-a-lot-of-weight-during-your-pregnancy-could-you-tell#post-179564 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:27:22 +0000 sandy 179564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained almost 50 pounds and I'm only 5'0"...at the time I thought it was all belly but looking back it was definitely spread out to my butt, thighs, arms and face (my face was so chubby but it was so gradual I didn't notice). I knew I would still look 5-6 months pregnant after delivery and was ready for that...at the time I thought I would never lose the weight...I couldn't even get my old jeans up past my thighs. Fortunately for me I lost all the weight plus some from breastfeeding. Probably by 3 months pp I was back into my old jeans and even some that I couldn't fit into right before I was pregnant. When I show people photos of me during the last 10 weeks they are amazed bc I was freaking huge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-gained-a-lot-of-weight-during-your-pregnancy-could-you-tell#post-179528 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:04:13 +0000 Navy_Mommy 179528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was like you...I gained (in my opinion) too much weight and in some pictures of me taken from directly in front of me you can't even tell I'm pregnant. Then, after birth, it all spread out and got jiggly. 8-( I still feel super wide (i was a size 2/4 pre pregnancy, right now I'm an 8) even though I'm only a few pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight! But, I was all muscle before, and now I'm all jiggle...</p> <p>...I guess I shouldn't skip my workout today, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-gained-a-lot-of-weight-during-your-pregnancy-could-you-tell#post-179502 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:51:55 +0000 Running Elley 179502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been gaining quite a bit (and I still have 19ish weeks to go!!!) and I can totally tell that it's not just going to my belly. My boobs are ginormous, my butt has definitely grown and so have my thighs :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-gained-a-lot-of-weight-during-your-pregnancy-could-you-tell#post-179491 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:48:44 +0000 mediagirl 179491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gained everywhere! My face, arms, thighs, back and belly. My boobs? What the heck, they didn't grow very much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-gained-a-lot-of-weight-during-your-pregnancy-could-you-tell#post-179452 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:36:46 +0000 heffalump 179452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I could tell when I was pregnant. It went everywhere. Spread out evenly all over my tush, thighs, arms, belly, boobs, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-gained-a-lot-of-weight-during-your-pregnancy-could-you-tell#post-179289 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 12:16:37 +0000 MusicaV 179289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have gained 10 pounds in the last 6 weeks (4 lbs between 18 and 21 weeks, 6 pounds between 21 and 24 weeks). I don't know where it's going! I'm all belly and boobs, no noticeable difference anywhere else. I don't think my belly feels fat or flabby. It feels pretty firm to me. Did anyone gain a lot and only realize after birth where it all went? </p>
