I am just over 25wks pregnant and i hear conflicting views about my size. Sometimes i'm told i'm small sometimes big for my dates.
Anyway regardless of what they say i feel absolutely enormous! Everyone says i've only put on weight in my stomach but i can see it on my thighs and butt too. I feel like a whale and i've still got another 15 (possibly 17) wks to go.
Anyone else feel fat at 25wks?
Any tips on maintaining a healthier body image?
Obviously i'm not suggesting i lose weight, i do recognise its baby, but i feel awful when i look in the mirror - all i can see is this fat person looking back at me (may be irrational but those are my thoughts) and it depresses me!!

thats very normal to feel fat....just remember...your not fat your prego.
I the first trimester most women are a bit happy,bubbly and feel beautiful....and sick to their stomachs.
Then when you start pooching a little,none of your clothes fit,but you are too small for prego clothes...you start feeling alittle yucky,fat,ugly and not quite so sexy.
You will adjust to your new body a little more as you go and just keep telling yourself.......this wont last long, this wont last long, this wont last long.
You are beautiful though...and NOT fat.

I've gained almost 50lbs!! I used to be so skinny and now I am fat! Yet everyone keeps saying that they can't believe I am due in less than two weeks! I look so small, They can hardly tell I'm pregnant, blah blah blah. Make sure to wear the right kind of shirts. I wore a long jersey type shirt the other day, looked at myself in a full length mirror and burst into tears. Yet the sweatshirt I own that is really big on me makes me barely look pregnant...then the maternity shirts that have like little ties in the back...they look the best. LIke it is just my belly that is big. But I KNOW my face is fatter and my legs and my butt...I have no advice for you...except to really get some good shirts. Go to Old Navy and check out what they have. I have some cute maternity shirts from there plus their sizing is so "kind" that I can get by with wearing L or XL in their regular clothes still (not jeans obviously), so there are more clothes to choose from. Good luck. I cry every week at the Drs office when I get weighed. And I don't care to hear all the "you're not fat! you're pregnant!!" comments either...

I feel the same way I'm 14 weeks and my asss, hips, breasts are huge (I've gone up a size in underwear not to mention I can't find my waist anymore! And my belly isn't big enough to have the round shape yet but I am showing and it looks like I just have a gut, LOL
But honestly since I'm pregnant I know it's all baby and not my greed that is adding the pounds and when my baby is born I'll breast feed most of the pounds off.
But u dohave a reason for being a little plumper, when women get pregnant they body shifts the fat to afoun out butts, and hips and well as our bellys so incase we fall we have some extra cushion to protect the baby from impact
Be easy on urself

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Don't worry, it's normal. I felt that way too. The fat goes away, for the most part. You can excersize now, like yoga and things like that. You will never have your prebaby body back, but you can shape your new body. Enjoy the baby!

You have to let it go... try to enjoy the changes your body is going through. It's only 15-17 more weeks!!! In the grand scheme of things, that's nothing!!
I know it's hard, but you're only going to get WAY BIGGER!!
Worry about your weight after the baby comes... if you have time to!!
