I actually wasn't overweight as a kid. I was thin my whole life. I was 116 pounds in middle school, 120 pounds in high school, and 130 pounds when I got married. But right before LO came, a whole bunch of events happened right in a row that caused me to gain weight.

-I had taken a migraine med that made me lose a lot of weight (got down to 107 pounds) and getting off of it to TTC made me gain a TON of weight.
-I got pregnant and gained weight from that, and then miscarried. And then I comfort ate from that.
-I got pregnant again right away without losing that weight.
-I had bleeding early in that pregnancy so I was put on pelvic rest and couldn't exercise for a long time.
-My migraines got very bad and I ended up not being able to exercise..... ever again! They trigger migraines for me now.... ever just walking a little bit does

So now I am overweight, and my LO is also a big girl. She is in the 95th percentile in weight and off the charts in height. The doctor doesn't say anything about it, she doesn't look obese or anything, but there's no question about it, she's big.

I always feel like people look at me and think I'm responsible for making my LO big. She eats soooo healthy though, and if it's genetics it had to come from DH's side, he was the husky child! Still I can't help but feel bad, and I'm scared that she will end up overweight and be teased for it. My sister was always a little overweight even though she was active and ate sooooo healthy, it was just in her genetics, she took after my dad's side of the family. I don't want my LO to have to go through that
