Belly envy
Not because I don't have a bump but because mine is so different. I'm 17 weeks, plus size, and also have loose skin that has never gone away from my first pregnancy fifteen years ago. I'm tall and feel so uncomfortable about my body. Head to toe I feel unattractive.
Before I was pregnant my body had finally been getting stronger and healthier and I exercised and began to lose weight. Since the pregnancy I've been terribly sick and struggled with eating right or at all. I'm just barely beginning to exercise again.
I just want to step out of my own skin!! My body is a mess! What I really want is to feel beautiful as my child grows within me everyday. Instead I feel trapped and ugly.
It doesn't help that my SO and I aren't as sexually active as before which I take way more personally than I should.
Sorry ladies. Just feeling overwhelmed by this and so many things. I am incredibly blessed and I know that. Depression and low self esteem are not easily washed away even under the most glorious circumstances.
