Body image

Koryana

Hello lady’s,

I’ve been having a lot of issues with my body image and feeling good in my own skin. I keep seeing all of these women who have like “perfect body’s” or pregnant women who don’t really have a whole lot of stretch marks and I envy them

feel like some of my family is judging the way my body looks..I’ve had both my grandma and my dad comment about the stretch marks on my boobs (there really bad and very noticeable) my uncle told me while I was visiting him that no mans going to really want a young women with a child and a “used” body.(he wanted me to get an abortion) I mean I have my boyfriend and I’ve told him how I feel and he said at first that I “look fine” and “you will be fine” I don’t feel fine.. I feel horrible and I’m always over thinking about things. I’m scared I’m going to have like saggy breasts and I’m going to look all gross after I have my baby.

I’ve had mental health issues in the past and I feel like there getting bad again but I don’t really know what to do. I’m only 16 and I’m 26 weeks & 2d pregnant currently. I feel like if I tell anyone how I feel that there just going to be like “you will be fine, it’s just because your a teenager. Or it’s bc your pregnant“

I’m scared I’m not a good person or I’m going to end up hurting someone like myself or even in the worst case my baby..but I don’t ever want to do that because I love my baby so much even if she’s not born yet. I just..I don’t really know what’s wrong with me, I want to go to therapy because I have had some very traumatic things happen in my life that might need help with, I want to be the best I can be but I don’t know how to do anything.
