For the struggling mamas

I’ve been really struggling with weight gain and self image lately. I feel like such a big ol potato or a cow. From every medical research or post I’m already over my allotted weight gain.

But I realize I’m not alone. That there other mamas out there struggling just like me. I’ve been reading a lot of blogs of women who share their journeys who have also gain way more than “the doctor said” or “what is recommended” and it has really helped me. A common picture shared was this break down of what our bodies take on and it blows my mind every time.

It’s been a daily struggle for me looking in the mirror, but I know my body is just adjusting for my little prince. 💙
