I’m definitely getting to the point (29 weeks) where pretty much every day I feel frumpy and huge. Anyone else getting to that point? I feel super self conscious and emotional about my body. I know I’m growing a miracle and I’m so happy that way. But definitely feeling like my body isn’t my own anymore 😢

yep I just had to buy maternity underwear from Amazon. But let me tell you, GAME CHANGER 😂 you’ll be glad you did. I’ve only really gained in my belly and boobs, about 25lbs. But right before I got pregnant I had finally hit my goal weight after a 3 year, 50lb loss journey so it’s screwing with my brain so bad!

Oh man yes. I've also only gained in my boobs and belly, but had also been on a major fitness kick and was finally getting close to the body I've been trying to have for the past few years, and now tbh I just don't have the energy to do as many workouts or hikes or even cook as healthy. Plus, seeing my body change like this is amazing for sure, but also kind of depressing. Sometimes it feels like it's not even my body anymore! Also, I got some undies from cheek boss, I prefer over the bellies so I got the high rise cheekies (they were doing a 2 free undies just pay shipping) and THEYRE SO COMFY!! I usually wear a M and got L instead and they're stretchy and the perfect rise and SO CUTE and even normally priced they're not expensive! Plus, no panty lines anywhere even in leggings. Highly recommend!

Yes!!!!!! Absolutely. I feel it! I’m a smaller and more petite build, but the belly feels huge, my hips burn and crack. And wobble. I was told with each kid the bigger your get and feel. This is my third baby and I’ve felt huge since I found out. Don’t feel bad! You’re doing a miracle work growing your sweet baby. So let yourself feel pregnant and don’t feel guilty about it! 😘😘

SAME and I’m so uncomfortable all the time. My back has started to hurt too and I can’t get comfortable to get a good nights rest 😫 I also have stretch marks on the back of my THIGHS. Of all places, I think that’s super strange. I’ve def cried multiple times because I don’t feel like me anymore 😭 I’m ready to not be pregnant anymore but I know these babes need to cook a little while longer so I’m hanging in there! Ugh

are you getting massages/chiropractic? I’m now doing biweekly massage and weekly chiropractic and that helps a TON with the back pain!

chiropractic yes, it’s made a HUGE difference!! I haven’t gotten any massages yet, but I definitely want to! I’ve been trying to hold out because I know I’ll want them frequently and they’re pricey 🤣

I’m right there with you boo. I have been struggling with my self imagine, I got big really early because my child is massive and it’s been difficult to accept. Sharing your body is hard and it’s okay to feel that way. You’re not alone 💖
