Confidence
I've always been thin, never struggled with weight issues but through my life I've had people give me a hard time about my weight, asking if I was anorexic, strangers telling me I'm too skinny, and so on. People even would tell me "I bet you'll blow up huge when you get pregnant". I'm about 5'5" and 105 lbs so it's not like I'm terribly thin, but now that I'm pregnant I am incredibly self conscious. I'm afraid to gain weight, and being 18 weeks, my belly has finally "popped" and I try to hide it. I don't understand why I am so concerned about it. I would think I should be happy that I'm gaining weight but I'm just very self conscious. People tell me to be proud and show off my baby bump but instead it's difficult for me to do that. The things we say really do impact people, sometimes it's year later though.
