Nothing fits, already!

Hi friends,
I’m new to this community and so excited to connect with mommas due in December!
So I’m 14 weeks and 3 days today (first pregnancy ended at 8-9 weeks), and almost none of my regular clothes fit me. I’m feeling frustrated because I’m technically not showing yet, but I’ve been super bloated my whole pregnancy. Anyone else in the same boat? How do you cope with the frustration? I know I’m creating life and that it’s a precious thing, but I’ve had a hard time accepting the changes with my body.

Honestly this is my 3rd baby and I've been showing since I was about 7-8 weeks. I've had to thrift clothes twice already ha. So the body image issues I completely understand. It's hard to gain weight, even though it's just my boobs and my belly, and still feel cute, regardless of why the weight gain is occurring. For me, hubs has helped tremendously. He knows how sensitive I am about it, so he tells me a lot more how pretty I am/how sexy it is that I'm growing his child, etc.

This is my second time around, and I’ve basically been living in maternity leggings since I’ve been pregnant with my first. Just embrace the growing body; you’re creating life! There is no stigma with an expanding body right now.

pregnant with my 2nd and i feel like my belly is huge at 14 weeks already. focusing on what feels comfortable on my body rather than how i look really helps me. personally i dont like how anything tight feels on my body right now and strive to only buy cotton/linen/hemp/silk fabrics (non synthetics), so my go to summer fit has been cotton athletic shorts 1 size larger than my usual rolled down at the waist, cotton button down short sleeve not buttoned all the way with a cotton bra underneath. I have invested in better cotton nursing bras this time around but am thrifting everything else. good luck finding your pregnancy style 🫶🏽 definitely a hard challenge when our bodies keep changing!

Bittersweet 🥹

I had my baby early Monday morning, I was 36+6..one more day & baby wouldn’t have had to get a bunch of tests done but passed all but right ear hearing (mainly fluid)…as much as I was OVER pregnancy & extremely miserable & doing all I could to dilate lol..I wish I could’ve had my baby later this week, even the next day really! Just to hear full term vs pre term. Granted I am beyond blessed that my baby is here & healthy & that’s all that matters..it’s the label that irritates me. I am soooo happy to be done with pregnancy forever, but man it’s weird not seeing my belly as big lol. Like it’s hitting me & I kept telling myself you will be happy it’s over with..ha..yes & no. Anyways…enjoy these last few days ladies…
&& I don’t feel like I belong in the June group lol I don’t know them like that 🤣🤣

Not enjoying pregnancy

Is anyone else just not enjoying pregnancy? Everyone says it’s such a magical time but i really don’t like it. I feel so guilty for feeling this way but I just can’t wait for it to be over. I’m sure it’ll be worth it once my baby’s here but I’m just having a really miserable time :(

Gallstones

Anyone else who has gotten gallstones after pregnancy have you had any issues with your chest? Like chest pains heart fluttering sand feeling like you’re gonna have a heart attack? Ever since I’ve gotten gallstones it’s literally taken over my life. I’m so afraid of being by myself. I cannot do anything and I have a huge fear that something bad is going to happen. Anyone else in the same boat? I’m so alone. My partner is always out the house with work and my family have their own lives going on so I’m just living in constant fear by myself
