Am I alone ?

Question

I have avoided taking pictures of my baby bump almost completely because af my weight gain making me 199 lbs. I feel so embarrassed and even though I plan to go right back to what to losing weight I can even bring myself to look at my bump in the mirror. I'm embarrassed to say I try to hide my bump as much as I can. I LOVE my little baby girl, and in no way blame her or my husband for this, but I feel so my sadness and hate towards my body right now.

Answer

I don't want to take pictures. I think that taking pics of your bump every week is just annoying. But I might consider taking a couple when I am very far along like late 3rd trimester. Just for memories.

Answer

I'm sure you are beautiful.
If you want, I'd suggest taking a few just for yourself and your husband. No need to post. Just take them, save them.
I am 206 now. I was 195 pre pregnancy and I always felt huge. Strangely enough I don't feel huge now. I am thankful for every pound I gain in hopes that my little one is gaining too. We have had some health issues and I want her to get as chunky as possible.
It is natural to feel that way. But I'm sure you are a beautiful pregnant woman and I hope you wake up at least once before it's over and feel that way.

Answer

no woman in my family took maternity pics. no body gained too much weight or anything but is those sessions are not for us (actually I find 95% of them to be funny looking)  same with my closest Friends. I'll have the baby as a reminder of the pregnancy and to me that is more than enough.

Answer

To be honest... I did not want to take pictures, because of my weight. In just a few years I packed on 30 lbs, and now I weigh over 200. I did take pictures though, for the memories. I think it also helped me to appreciate my body and what it's doing for my baby boy. It is a truly amazing process and I wanted to make sure we had the memories to go with. When I look back and see the differences... I am truly in aww of this process!

Answer

I don’t want to take pics. Just not for me !!

Answer

I just don’t take pictures cause 90% of the time I’m in pjs all day every day 😂 plus I don’t have much of a baby bump. So the few I have taken just look like I gained some extra weight around my lower stomach. It’s not cute 😂🙈 that being said in the last month I’ve gained 10 lbs... I understand the weight thing though. This time last year I was 120lbs, with in 4months I gained 35 lbs and now at 27weeks I’m 165 lbs. it’s very mentally upsetting however I still fit perfectly into all of my clothes from when I was 120lbs. It’s hard for me to understand/cope that with in a years time I have gained over 40 lbs and I’ll be gaining more before baby arrives. My husband who’s in the military, and going to school with the military to become a fitness instructor, will be helping me get back into shape once baby comes. He won’t be doing some crazy boot camp fitness regimen with me, but instead help me become more healthy, both mentally and physically, and help me lose the weight. I’ve also decided on getting a postpartum wrap to help everything go back into place so I won’t have to work twice as hard to get the extra tummy pouch to go away as well as help my hips go back into place and provide support for my back and body.
