Im only 24 weeks and my stomach is huge I can no longer eat a full meal Ive started to waddle and my stomach feels sooooooooooooo stretched I feel like Im going to pop Ive got ages to go and cant beleive Im going to get bigger so far Ive been lucky with stretch marks but Im sure if I keep growing at this rate they'll be making an appearance soon. Sorry girls its a little bit of a moan but I thought if anyone could understand how I feel it would be you lovley lot.

ps any ideas on getting comfy in bed Ive got a maternity massive pillow but I always feel like Im still leaning on my huge belly and suggestions?

I feel mahooooooosive!!! I couldnt get comfy last night at all and I am waddling like a duck. I'm findind it hard to get my head round more than anything. I love being pregnant but the weight gain is hard on me mentally. I've always dieted and struggled to try to keep on top of my size so psychologically I'm struggling.

I have a maternity pillow too - how do you use yours??

Lisa, I am right there with you in regards to the weight gain. It's hard on me too, especially in the last trimester when the weight gain is at it's peak and just when you think you couldn't get any bigger. Being at my peak this summer is going to be tough too.

I keep trying to be positive but some days I feel so drab.

I'm joining that club...

This is so weird to me,having a big stomac and weight gain,I never though a body can change so quickly and suddenly...

I keep imagining how much bigger it will get and i just can't grasp it...

Sorry you're feeling like this hun

My bump is getting uncomfy in bed too now - do maternity pillows work?

Time will fly by for I'm sure hun and then you'll have a gorgeous bundle to make it all worth while

Every1 is saying im waddling too, think its the bad back more than anything tho.

Iv started Physio for Sciatica and back problems and she was showing me ways to get comfy.

Put two pillow ither to your left or right side and put your legs up on them.. Put a pillow just under your bump so it is lieing on it..

i really feel for you as i am going through the same thing. I have felt like this since 24 weeks and I feel I am going to EXPLODE at any moment.

I cannot eat a full meal (basically given up). I eat very light meals and lots of fruit - does seem to be helping me. At least I cannot stuff my face all day anymore and gain even more weight

I waddle around and feel so unfit....I am reaching a point where I just want to have the baby...

I am going to buy a maternity pillow to see if that helps..

Other than the weight gain, what I find really weird is not being able to move as quickly as I could. Or feeling all stiff and creaky when I get up after being sat down for a while. And having to roll off the sofa because I can't get up off it properly!

It's so nice that everyone's in the same boat though! Great having people who sympathise!

I'm starting to get uncomfortable now and I seem to be growing at a rapid pace.

My mom even told me yesterday that I'm bigger than a woman she saw who is 9 months already. She' wasn't insulting me. She was actually complimenting me but it made me wonder lol.
To think I've gotto get even bigger! Just when you think you cant grow anymore you go through another growth spurt.

I dunno how these strategically placed pillows are supposed to help. If I have one under my bump it hurts my back. I have to take it away. I can get by with a pillow between my knees and ankles. That seems to work for me. Only turning around is getting fun now lol.
