Just need to vent...
I’ve never really been skinny, especially not in my adulthood. The smallest I got was a size 16 4 years ago. Now, I’m a 20/22, pregnant and discouraged and depressed. This is my 4th and final pregnancy and even though I’m just over 5 weeks, the bloat is already unreal. I want to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy, plus size or not, but right now when I look at myself, all I see is the flab. It makes me want to cry because I don’t look as cute as some of the other mama’s and I don’t get to buy all of the cute maternity clothes that they get to wear. Ugh! I’m just feeling so low already in this pregnancy like no other. The support that I was hoping for just isn’t there from friends and family. So far, I can count on one hand the number of people there for support me through this process.
Any advice, fellow mama’s to get me out of this slump and embrace this body that remains a work in progress during and after pregnancy?
