Hey Girl.... keep breathing... you're not alone.  I'm not pg but your fears about gaining weight are totally normal.  Lotsa pg momma's on this board will attest.

it's baby weight... and it's good that you're gaining.  You'll continue to gain throughout the rest of ur pg.  it's just a matter of remembering that it's for your baby and you'll be able to drop that weight after ur precious one arrives.

I can totaly agree with how your feeling, I had to stop weighing myself, because it was making me crazy. I am 22 weeks pregnant and have gained 5bs but feel like it's been three times that much. I know this is something we have going on in our brains and we know better but it still drives us crazy. I hope that we are able to look past it and see that the life growing inside us is the amazing part and why  we are gaining the weight. I hope that everything works out for you !!!!
Good luck and ditch the scale for a while, it helped me a bit.

Hey I know how you feel.
Just over a month ago I ordered a treadmill from Amazon. I made a commitment to myself to work out every day for 25 minutes. It is actually cool having your own treadmill because you can just roll out of bed and throw your sneakers on, blast your own music, and sweat in the privacy of your own home. The one I have was $399 and I love it.
If you have the space (mine is in the garage but I like it bc it's cooler in there) and can afford to splurge on one, I would totally recommend getting a treadmill. I feel so much better about myself after a month. I just power walk on a 6% incline and I swear my butt cheeks have firmed up and are pointing north again lol. You can probably get a really nice one used off craigslist for much cheaper if you have a way to transport it.
Anyway, just a suggestion. But seriously, my treadmill is the best investment I have made in years.
