Body embarrassment 😭
I am super conscious and embarrassed by my belly shape.
I'm 33+2 weeks with twins, and I'm fine with my actual bump which is the high bit, and actually considered small for twins, but I have the biggest 'pouch' or 'overhang' belly underneath.
For context, I was a size 8 before pregnancy, but have previously been upto an 18-20 at my worst, so my body is a massive insecurity for me. My legs and bum are also ugly to me. All I can think about is how im missing out not having a maternity shoot, and how the hell I'm going to loose it afterwards.

There’s nothing wrong with you 💖 a belly band can help with bump shape if you’re feeling self conscious though. You’re one day ahead of me :)
Mama I’m so sorry that our world lies to you about attractiveness. Lies to you, the woman creating two humans from scratch INSIDE your body, growing and nourishing them 24 hours a day, while also living your day to day life. Honestly any quality photographer can get amazing maternity photos of you, don’t pass that up!
I was also insecure about my pregnancy body and never did maternity photos, but looked back now nearly 15 years later and saw the selfies were more than beautiful and regretted not doing a formal photo shoot.

Breech at 35 weeks?
Hi ladies, hope you're okay x we've found at our midwife appointment that baby is breech. I just want to ask mums over 35 weeks whether your babies turned on their own at all? My midwife isn't too concerned, she believes baby has time to turn but I just want to know how people's experiences were with their own babies. Thank you x

Ugh 🙄
So my birthday is tomorrow. We already booked an Airbnb for two nights. I planned to go get some toys and have amazing sex. But now my period is on and ladies I'm so angry right now!!! My period comes on when it wants to and I was hoping it waited until after. I just needed to vent, I mean its not the end of the world but still. This shit sucks 😒💔💔💔

how to stay sane and not overthink everything
how are we all dealing with not freaking out over everything and being constantly anxious?
i just had the ittiest bittiest discharge that was like faintly light pink, and i mean more light peach if anything, and it wasn’t runny or spotting and i haven’t had any cramping or otherwise. but im so freaked out? thankfully i have a scan on monday, but with how much is online it’s hard to not panic and catastrophize.
would love love love any tips ❤️

Anxiety before find out your pregnant??
Has anyone else had an unexplained panic attack when you did nothing to trigger it and haven't had one in quite a few years? I read that being pregnant can be a cause because of hormone fluctuations.
