A little self conscious

Hi everyone! Is anyone else carrying big and having an issue with people saying things like wow! You are really big for 23 weeks or are you sure it’s only one baby in there. It’s really getting to me for some reason. I was actually on a weight loss journey down 50 pounds when I became pregnant this is my miracle baby and i got pregnant at a time that i was so motivated losing weight and being active and having fun with my fiancé that a baby was the furthest thing on my mind. It came as such a surprise, and i am very grateful but i did have a bit of a greiving process because I worked so hard for the body i was finally becoming confident in and then i had to completely slam the breaks and watch all the weight come back especially my face too it’s so round rn😭 so ig it just sucks that people keep pointing out how big i am. I feel guilty for feeling this way because we tried for 6 years with many losses and i finally have my baby i wanted so badly.

@Katherine-Anne thank you so much 🥹 I feel like a potato lol

@CC thank you ☺️ this is my first pregnancy and everything is new. Im glad im not the only one! And yes i want a little chubby man lol🥰

You look stunning😍! i would not give a bamn about the comments. Can I ask where the dress is from? 🥰

You are beautiful!! I gained 50 pounds at 7months and now im trying to maintain at doctors orders. You got this and everyone's body is different.

Hey girl, not sure why this has popped up as I’m in the UK and have already had my rainbow baby🥰but I just wanted to pop on here and say you look amazing! I too was on a weight loss journey and had finally reached my goal when I found out I was pregnant. I gained 77 pounds in total over the course of my pregnancy and I too grieved the body I once had because of all the work I put in😭 Ignore everyone else, it’s normal to put on weight in your face during pregnancy and I personally cant notice it. The thing that got me through was knowing that I lost the weight once, I could do it again! I invested in home gym equipment, just the basics and have been working out when I can, eating nutritious food, going for daily walks and ensuring I drink enough water! Congratulations on your miracle and I’m so happy for you, please try not to stress about the baby weight! It’s only temporary and like I said you lost the weight once, you can do it again💗 Be kind to yourself mumma💗

I feel like I carry big as well. When I found out I was pregnant I already had extra weight on. My coworker thought I was carrying twins because I looked big and I was only like 6 weeks 😭. My belly got so big so fast and then I lost 6 pounds and my belly size has stayed the same size for the past 2-3 months. I don’t even take progress pics because it all looks the same. I’ll be 20 weeks tmrw looking like I’m 7 months already.

You look great! Everyone carries babies differently. Just walk and carry your little miracle with the glowing confidence you have and ignore people. No one should be commenting on another’s belly size.

Enjoy the bump it’s part of the process. I get the opposite unfortunately. I’m always told I don’t look pregnant or baby where which sometimes is funny, but after a couple losses.. not so much 😅
