I'm 18 weeks and this is my first baby. I work in fitness and wellness. I've gained about ten Lb so far and work out most days and maintain my healthy diet. I have a client who says she's been "self medicating" with food to deal with home stress and says she's been putting on weight. Today she came in and the first thing she said when h said good morning was "whoa!! Look at you!" Admittedly I do feel like I gained more the last few weeks than before. I can feel the baby now and my waistline is gone. I was already feeling insecure because the outfit I picked felt too tight. I said "what??" Even tho I knew what she meant. She said "you're looking like me these days!" And patted her belly as if she meant I'm gaining like her. I said "gee, Susan. How kind of you???" She then asked me how far along I am and she said, "yeah I bet all your clients are like, damn did she start putting on the pounds???" Wtf. I could have burst into tears. I'm not loving gaining weight at all.  but I am loving that I'm growing my family in my body and that I'm blessed enough to be pregnant. and there's already too much pressure on women about their bodies and it carries over to how they should look in pregnancy and after. I cried all afternoon in bed. I've been working so hard to feel strong this pregnancy and to embrace the bodily changes but she put me over the edge. 😭
