28 weeks pregnant, 36.5 bmi
I was on wegovy before we started planning, I did start gaining weight again slightly, but by 12 weeks I was already at 30.6 bmi. All my tests are normal, diabetes, blood pressure, blood tests etc.
The mid wife hasn’t brought it up, hadn’t even told me the weight till I saw it in my medical notes..and now I’m spiraling. Definitely suffering through body dysmorphia and unsure what to do - my diet has been fairly healthy, and yes I can exercise more but I’ve been so tired..
Any advice?

Similar for me. A few days after i gave birth i dropped backdown. It was mostly swelling 🤷🏻♀️.
I’ve been going through and feeling the exact same thing, but girl… you’re PREGNANT this is so normal!! As someone who struggles with body dysmorphia, something my therapist told me that may or may not help you is this:
We struggle with needing to look “perfect” and beautiful all the time. And that’s never our job, but especially not now. This is not the time to get the perfect body and try and turn heads. This is the time for self care and to focus on the baby. After postpartum and we’re healthy again, we can focus on our bodies again and get back to where we want.
But no matter what, you’re always valuable. Before, during, and after pregnancy. This is *especially* not the time for us to be worrying about standards of beauty. You’re doing an amazing thing. Take care of you, take care of your baby, eat the f*cking Oreos, and be present ❤️
BMI is completely invalid during pregnancy, ignore it.

Sneak peek for baby number 2
I’m currently 9 weeks and was wondering if anyone has done the sneak peek test before and it was wrong? I just got my result today and it said boy, I’m only 9 weeks but did the early test, they say there always a chance of male dna contamination and I did mess up two steps but I made sure to sanitize everything , I just don’t know if I can trust it. I have my NIPT in a couple weeks where I’ll have verification but for now I’m wondering if this is a true boy result since I can’t be sure there wasn’t any male dna contamination.

Newly pregnant!
I currently have a 5 year old and she’s been begging for a sibling for years! Well we finally conceived! After trying for almost 2 years. I’m just wondering how long did you guys decide to wait to tell your little ones? I know my girl will be so happy I want to wait until first ultrasound but that seems so farrrr I’m terrible at keeping secrets I’m worried I’m gonna say baby or pregnant infront of her to many times by accident 😅 I told my fiance will just put in back of minds for now so we don’t spill but that’s a little hard obviously lol
