I'm Currently Feeling: | I know what you mean. I'm slim so I wasn't really worried about getting a bump because I knew I'd look pregnant but I'm really worried how I'll look after. I feel guilty for thinking about it and being so shallow but its human nature. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | i'm freaking out about it, not the bump, but my boobs!
i'm already a 34GG (though size 12/14), which is difficult to tame at the best of times! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Well, the boobs, after two children, they decreased. Right now, I am happy to have some cleavage.
I've always been weight conscious and have weighed the same since I was 14 except for during my pregnancies. It was very hard on me to gain all that weight, and because of that I didn't enjoy my pregnancies as much as I should have. I had people commenting that you won't lose the weight after, etc. Well, I most certainly did but at that time when the comments came I was big in my pregnancies and most definitely worried that my figure would never come back after.
I finally decided yesterday that I wasn't going to worry about it and I was going to enjoy this pregnancy and show off my bump. I know I can lose it after
My hubby helped too the other night. Usually he bugs me about getting fat etc. But the other night he was so sweet. He said he loved it when my tummy got really big. HUH? So I thought if he loves it, then I am too
It also helps that this time around I bought some maternity clothes that will perhaps at least make me feel less frumpy as I start to gain more weight. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | i'm much more worried about the post birth belly and weight than my baby bump, that being said though the bump is only smallish right now  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | My bump is clearly showing now and I'm getting comments on it all the time. I have always been really insecure about my weight. I have worked my butt off pre-pregnancy to stay healthy and fit, but a year before I got pregnant I gained about 15-20 pounds so I was barely overweight. I tried on maternity shirts last night and they made me feel like the good year blimp and It just made me really miss my regular clothes and my figure.  I'm very excited that we are having a baby, it's just hard accepting that my body is getting bigger and bigger by the day. I pray that the next 4 months fly by so I can meet our little angel and get to working on getting my body back in shape. I think it's just human nature. Come on July!!!  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I worry my boobs will get a lot bigger - they're already out of control (DDD) for me. But I plan to get a reduction one day so I don't worry too much about the stretching & what not of them (I think I may have been perky one day when I was 12)
I worry a lot about the amount of weight I'll put on. I just lost 70lbs & I still have some more to go. The doc said I can safely gain 10 or less but I still worry I will get huge, again. sigh. |

Congratultions on your weight loss, that's incredible, and shows great deal of commitment. Just focus on being commited to having a healthy pregnancy at the moment, try not to worry so much about weight gain. Nine months on, Nine Months off......
(well that's the theory...... my youngest is 2, and I still haven't really got rid  ) |
