You dont have to answer because it's a tough thing sometimes but I'm just so overwhelmed and stressed. I'm pregnant right now and I've gained so much weight I feel disgusting, I thought my looks were all I had that I could hold on to. It sounds dumb and selfish I'm just not used to it of that makes any sense at all. Dont know how to cope
Oooh mama, all the feelings. The world is in a weird place as it is, and besides that your feelings are bound to bounce all over with this personal journey and that is okay. you’re allowed to feel your feelings, even if they dont make sense or you think you should feel bad about it. Theres a lot of adjusting to the new norms of pregnancy and motherhood. I gained 70 lbs (!!! and I’ve barely lost 25 so far) being that my body hasn’t changed much since 8th grade, it was a huge adjustment. But when you focus on the reasoning its helps a lot, or even a little bit. Even if it’s something you dont generally care about, that you wouldnt normally feel so bad about, take time to process it. To evaluate WHY it makes you feel bad and try to find ways to overcome that. You should never feel disgusting about your appearance, your looks are still YOURS and your still have them. They’re going to change a lot in life, especially in this new chapter of yours. Your baby is gonna love every part of you, every inch of your body. Whether you’re small or big, theyll just feel the love and the comfort of being in your arms. Sometimes when theres a lot of things causing stress it comes out in ways that hyperfocus on one thing, with big emotions added to that it feels way worse than it is. Congrats on your blessing, I hope it feels easier for you ♡
