23 weeks (kinda long post)

So this is my 1st pregnancy where I have been past 4 months. All my others have been miscarriages. I am so happy that I have made it this far and that my little guy ia doing great! Seeing him and feeling  him move is the best feeling ever! But sometimes my feelings get in the way of it all. I feel fat and ugly. My boobs are huge and my thighs and butt just won't stop growing. All these changes to my body are sometimes a little overwhelming to me. Am I the only one that feels this way?

I feel the same way. My body has changed so much I've even developed stretchmarks. I'm happy about my pregnancy and can't wait for my baby to arrive . But the body change is so overwhelming it has put me off having another one.

No you are not the only one. Pregnancy  is a beautiful  thing because  you end up with the best gift in life, a child but it is also a bit depressing not very many women love the changes in their body while pregnant. I am in my second  pregnancy and as much as I love my babies it still makes me upset to see my self in the mirror.
