I just had to vent a little bit.

My entire life all I’ve wanted is to be a mother, and I’m finally pregnant. I feel like so many prayers have been answered and I am sooooo over the moon excited (and scared haha). I feel very lucky to be pregnant.

Except one small thing.

I’m really struggling with my changing body. I’m VERY early in pregnancy (8w 4d) but my body already looks a lot different. My waist has gotten a lot wider and my booty has gotten smaller. I’ve always been a very healthy eater and consistent exerciser, but since getting pregnant, I’ve just been doing what I can. Suddenly greens and fruits have become repulsive (finally getting back on track) and the fatigue makes it hard to exercise as much. I’ve always been very very health and body conscious, and really have never felt good in my body until right before my wedding-until getting pregnant. I think with the combination of hormones + looking in the mirror really makes me feel a little depressed. I hate saying that because I know it’s selfish but I can’t shake the feeling.

Any other mommies or pregnant mommies have this experience? I just want to stop focusing on my body and focus on growing my little bean 💖 but any tips are appreciated.
