And i’m only 22 so seeing all my friends/ social media friends post themselves and they just look sooo good 😭😭 i can’t help but get so upset and jealous and wish i had my pre pregnancy body back 💔 even my face just doesn’t even look like me anymore i have a double chin and just look so swollen
I am 38 weeks now, Huge Tommy with stretch marks that also iches so badly.
I am 83 kg in weight currently.
I also feel like you, I don't click any photos , I don't meet anyone as well. I always think nowadays that I am looking fatty and ugly.
But wait, I am very proud of it. I am doing a miracle which my husband can't do.I am so special. I am giving a bundle of joy to my family.
I will be a mother, and I will have a kid. That kid will hug me and he will never judge me because of my figure but he will love me unconditionally.
Be proud don't feel guilty.
Some women are trying hard to become a mother they spend lots of money and time for IVF.
We can't imagine their mental stress and trauma.
My son is a year old and I’m still struggling to accept the changes. Pregnancy turns your whole world upside down but you WILL start to accept yourself one day, you will never go back to the old you, but you will find a new you, and you’ll learn to love her and all she’s been through. It’s not easy but you are not alone
You’ll spring back! You’ve got age on your side too! Could you have a nice pregnancy photoshoot to help you love your bump a bit more. Xx
As Moira Rose: Then allow me to offer you some advice: Take a thousand, naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, "Oh, I'm too spooky." Or, "Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies." But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, "Dear God, I was a beautiful thing!"
I hated my pregnancy belly, but now. I look at those photos and love myself even more. You're not going to look the same, I know I don't. But looking at my son and knowing my body made him, I'm more forgiving on myself. My boobs sag more, but they have fed him for his first year of life. My belly has strech marks and isn't flat, but I grew a whole human inside me that smiles everytime he sees me. The face swelling did go down a few months after birth and the weight did drop. It'll take awhile to love yourself again, but you'll have a living reminder on why your body is so much more beautiful now than it was before.
😭😭😭😭 love this!! Love Moira!
