Feeling pretty fat

I'm almost 16 weeks and have gained over 20 pounds. I am absolutely disgusted with myself. I find myself getting jealous at all the "skinny" mommies to be with their cute baby bumps...grr...lol. But seriously I just can't help but worry that I am just going to get bigger and its just going to be really hard to lose all this weight. I don't feel like I look pregnant, I feel like I look fat. I am super happy but this really puts a damper on things. Has anyone else felt like this? And what helped you get over it? Thanks :)

I feel the same way. I have gained over 20 pounds and I am only a little over 17 weeks. I just think its for a good cause and after the baby then I can dedicate myself to losing weight.

at least by that time ill look pregnant and not just fat. i hope. with my luck ill gain all over this time, instead of just the belly. ive gained more weight this pregnancy so fas than i did with my entire first, and 3/4 way through my second.

It's ok I feel the same way , this is my second one n I'm gaining weight Luke crazy lol . Only 15 weeks today n I've gained a 14 pounds already . With ds ,my first I didn't gain any weight till about 4 months but the at the end I was 169 lol. But i lost all the weight the first 2 months or so . But what makes me feel better is just knowing that it's all worth it ;), n that I'm healthy n well eating chocolate covered strawberries always makes me feel better too lol

Im 22 weeks and have gained 23 pounds so far. I plan on losing weight after I give birth anyway so it doesnt bother me much. Though I only gained 18 total with my daughter.
