I'm almost 22 weeks along and at my last visit,2 weeks ago,I had only gained 2lbs. I was stoked. This morning I noticed I'm starting to get red/pink stretch marks on my belly and I almost lost it. I realize it happens to a lot of women and that weight gain is normal but I feel gross and unattractive as it is. I work really hard to keep my spirits high and stay positive-I'm growing a beautiful baby,what's more amazing then that? But today it's not that easy. I thought I'd get lucky, maybe the baby would just grow into my stretch marks already there. Wishful thinking right? Haha. I'm just bummed and struggling with this whole body image thing today. This pregnancy has been trying on my self esteem already since nothing fits,or looks good because my belly mostly looks fat rather than pregnant. It's been a battle and today I'm losing.
