Finally loving my pregnant body *body positivity*

I started gaining weight almost immediately after finding out I was pregnant. My pants stopped fitting in the thighs and I felt very uncomfortable in my own skin. I had gained at least 10 pounds in my first trimester. I ate healthier and excerised more thinking I could slow it down and nothing really helped. After already gaining around 24 pounds at 27 weeks, I am finally feeling good about my body and my new hip stretch marks. I eat healthy and excerises and I've come to accept that my body is going to create the environment my baby needs, and I'm beautiful either way. I love my bump and my bigger hips and butt and I love my little baby boy even more. 

Don't get discouraged ladies, we are doing the incredible and need to cut ourselves a little slack! I hate seeing ads for "skinny pregnant". That's not the goal, the goal is healthy and happy baby. ❤️
