I've had two kids - and am now pregnant with my 3rd - and I have the sinking feeling that I am gaining weight much faster and feeling bigger much sooner than I did with the other two. I wonder if this is age? (I'm now almost 36) or is it just because I'm so used to being pregnant? (uterus is stretched out before.) I gained less in my second than my first, but at the rate I'm going now - i'm going to gain a lot faster with this one.

For #2, I both looked AND was fatter... and FASTER... ugh, now trying to lose it, and that will be SLOWER... so unfair :(
Agree with above that it is faster b/c all muscles are already stretched out and just go 'pooof'

Congratulations! I recently had my 3rd at the same age as you I looked 5months at 3months. I felt bigger much faster but at the end didn't put as much weight on as my other two

THANKS NULA!
I'm already feeling much bigger - I think I've put on 5 lbs - and I'm just 5 weeks. I'm not even eating that much, and I'm exercising diligently. I don't know what is wrong! 5 months at 3 months! OWAHHHH......

For me my 2nd one i felt and was fatter. This baby my face got skinnier and i look thinner just pregnant. I think each baby gives you different things maybe? My first one i cried alot and was always upset about something. 2nd one i was so happy like a hippie and hugging everyone and so go free, this one i tend to be very aggressive... first 2 were girls this last ones a boy so maybe its hormonal? But after 2nd baby i was huge i felt and looked so fat i actually didnt want to try for another scared id get fatter then the 2nd.

I'm hoping the gain means I'm having a son.
People tell me I look really HORRIBLE right now - so that means (according to some crazy korean belief) that I'm having a son.

hahaha....
all the old grandmas and elder women in the building - one of them asked me IF I was pregnant (ummm...putting on some weight you see) and she told me I looked really horrible, so it must be a son! My grandma told me the same thing.
Thanks for the congrats - how are you feeling and moving?

Hi hkchoichoi...sounds like a tough crowd! : )
I'm doing well, thanks. Feeling good...I started to go to exercise classes (yoga type stuff) once the nausea and fatigue eased up, and those have been great!

W and H - good to hear that you are feeling fine.
I'm feeling FAT. I mean REALLY FAT. My husband even commented. My last two pregnancies I never gained weight the first trimester - but this time I think I've already put on 2 kgs. VERY scary. I'm working out really hard and not eating much but I just keep packing on the pounds....don't know what to do!

I'm STARVING all the time too. The first pregnancy with me - I didn't have morning sickness, but I was really careful. 2nd pregnancy I had a lot of morning sickness and vomiting - so maybe that kept my weight down. This pregnancy - I'm just STARVING!

I'm 6 months along on my 3rd and already bigger than the day that my first was born. Suspect I may have to be transported by specially re-inforced truck to the Matilda in 3 months' time.

I am 18 weeks pregnant with my second and have put on 8lbs aleady. Last pregnancy I was wearing my normal cloth until 20 weeks, this time I had to unpack the maternity wear at 13 weeks... not putting on weight faster this time but my tummy is popping out way more and earlier. I also guess it is becuase the muscles and the skin are not that tight anymore...
