Body Changes are hard!
I’m a little over 26 weeks pregnant and I am having a very hard time with my changing body. Pre-pregnancy I was underweight from an eating disorder so I have gained A LOT of weight already so far during this pregnancy (well over 25lbs). It’s really freaking me out that I can’t tell what I “should” look like at this point! I feel like I’m too big (even though my doctor has not commented on my weight gain at all). Really, I’m not supposed to be focusing on my weight or even looking at it, but I have peeked once or twice so I am aware of just how much I have gained. I also have a very short torso and very long legs making me look even larger because there is no where for this baby to go! At this point in my pregnancy I already have to sort of move my bump if I even want to see my vagina (shaving is a thing of the past I guess). Is that normal or should I be concerned about how big I am?? I really don’t have any desire to stay thin because I want to be healthy for my baby but I would like to just be normal. I wish there was something I could compare myself to because I feel like I shouldn’t be this big this early on.
