I can't even tell you're pregnant..
I'm 18 weeks and have gained about 4 pounds. I have a small bump that you can't see underneath my clothes. I feel great though. I feel my baby move all throughout the day; it's the best feeling ever.
However, I'm hearing things like, "you're not even showing", "I can't even tell you're pregnant", "you need to put on some weight", "I hope you get fat at the end", one person even asked if my pregnancy was real! At first I blew it off, but this weekend I heard it enough to make me start to worry. And that makes me upset. All those comments are only stressing me out like I'm doing something wrong. Im doing just fine. My doctor says I'm doing just fine. My husband supports me and tells me I look great AND always has something for me to eat, lol. I don't know why I finally let it get to me. Buts it's ruined my day and made me second guess my baby's development.
I just spent the last 30 minutes researching underweight pregnancies and then snapped out of it. If I let every comment about my pregnancy worry me like this, I'll go crazy.
I wish people would realize how their words can affect people. They got me for a little bit but I'm glad I'm strong enough to bounce right back.
I'm not one to vent and I'm certainly not one to post it on social media, but geez!
You're shamed of you gain too much and you're shamed if you gain too little. 🙄
Can't we just let each other enjoy this beautiful time in our lives??
