Where are you gaining weight?

Other than our expanding bellies and fun bags, where else are you putting on extra pounds?

I've noticed my legs feel a lot bigger. They also feel pretty solid, just... bigger, and my pants (which miraculously still fit at 18 weeks) are tighter in the thighs and calves. Also my back and bra line. My arms however, feel the same or smaller.

Anyone else feeling weight gain in weird parts of the body? Maybe its not weird at all, but no one told me I would gain weight all over! I fully expected belly only.

    At 27 weeks with a 8 pound gain and I would say at the moment it is all bump and boob, but I expect my face to start filling out soon and my theighs to get bigger. :) My rib cage and hips are a lot bigger but this is due to the rib cage and pelvis expanding, not so much from weight gain. My rib cage is probably 4 inches bigger than before pregnancy. It's crazy!

    When I was pregnant with my daughter I gained everywhere! Face, hips, thighs, etc. With both boys (my son and this baby) it really is only coming on in my belly. My pants fit and button at 31 weeks despite gaining 18 lbs so far. My boobs have barely gone up one size when with my daughter I went up 3 sizes.

    LOL @ fun bags :smile:

    I'm gaining everywhere. I did last time, too. I mean, it's mostly belly and boobs, but it's gone to my thighs, butt, upper arms, ribs, etc. Even my collarbones have kind of disappeared. The only place I don't look much bigger is my face. It's filled out slightly but not that much. Maybe it's working its way up there, and I'll get a really fat face, but the rest of my head will be normal, and I'll have a cone head :wink:

    With my daughter I gained 19lbs was all belly and boobs, and wore my size 7 jeans until I went into labor, lol. When I was pregnant with my son I was ravenous the whole pregnancy, I gained 60lbs which seemed to be entirely in my butt and thighs. Even large maternity pants were too small. I had to wear maternity dresses. ( I also swelled REALLY bad.) This time it's another girl, and I've gained 30lbs so far (34 weeks) primarily in my belly and boobs again. I'm still in regular jeans though slightly modified with a hair band.

    At almost 36 weeks and up 21 lbs, I'm all boobs and belly.....I was instantly up a cup size by the end of the first trimester....of course I do notice less definition in other parts of my body from not being able to do my normal insanity routine or long runs.....but I can still put on my prepregnancy jeans (including skinny jean cut), just can't button them since the baby has dropped.

    Well done!

    I'm at 27 weeks, and I've gained about 7 lbs so far. Working hard as well to keep weight gain to the necessary amount (I was overweight to begin with). Been going to the gym consistently still; pretty much everything is the same except for belly and boobs (my arms are smaller, but I've been working on them).

    I noticed my whole upper body got unusually big after my last pregnancy...my thighs came in second. lol. I'm not as big this time and hope it stays that way! It's a struggle though...
