Selfish Post

This is probably the most selfish thing to say. But I can't stop crying. I don't want to be an ugly fat pregnant person. I'm so scared of not looking pregnant or getting a bump and just looking a horrible mess😩😩😩 the fear is so real. I want to enjoy it but I already feel like a whale

Honestly, I relate to this SO much!!!! But please try not to worry and try your hardest to enjoy how amazing your body is regardless of size. I didn’t think I would get a bump but im almost 29 weeks now and it’s only just “popped” over the last few. I’m sure you look beautiful and your body is doing amazing things even when you’re feeling rubbish🩵 it’ll all be worth it in the end xx

Before pregnancy I was a size 20 trousers but I have a huge bump that no one can miss. I’m nearly 34 weeks

I'm a size 22 at the minute. Just over 11 weeks and just honestly feel massive. Sick of the overhang. I've tried soooo hard to loose weight and for the first time ever lost nearly 4 stone then bang, here's your pregnancy you've wanted for years😂 still have 7 stone to loose and now I feel I'm going to be back to square 1 xxx

This was me! I was also a 20-22 before being pregnant but I struggled with not feeling like I look pregnant, I’ve only recently popped (27 weeks) but now being 30 weeks tomorrow I have a proper big bump 🥰

This is so not selfish, I'm not plus sized so I'm not sure why this appeared in my feed but I'll give my 10p anyway 😂 society nitpicks at women no matter WHAT we do or WHAT we look like, NOTHING is good enough! I've seen many plus sized friends go through pregnancy with the same feelings you've expressed here and yano what, they all had beautiful bumps. A lot of women don't even show at all until 20+ weeks so don't compare yourself to anyone else, your journey is your own 🩷

My perspective of my body changed a lot while I was pregnant, in the best possible way. I’ve always had body image issues but while pregnant I felt so feminine, so beautiful and so incredibly amazing for being able to grow my little girl. All while throwing up a million times a day. It’s hard when you don’t look exactly like someone who’s smaller but you are growing a whole human from scratch! Your body no matter its size and shape is doing that for you. Embrace the changes and try and enjoy every moment. It goes so fast and you’ll have your miracle in your arms and you’ll miss their little kicks from the inside. Youve got this!
