Body issues vent

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and have already gained 31lbs. I'm freaking out. I was only 3 lbs underweight when I found out that I was pregnant but now I'm considered overweight by some pregnancy websites. When I look in the mirror all I see is fat. I rationally know that I'm housing a fetus but I can't help but see fat. I guess I just need to vent.

I gained 37 lbs with my first and trust me my dr didn't say anything about it. She said i was normal weight before i was pregnant but every chart says I'm overweight because I'm only 5'2" so I'm sure you'll be fine

Try to relax:) I'm 38 weeks now and just realized how swollen my face look. I dont look like my normal self. It will be worth it when our baby's come.
