Before I got pregnant, I was a small-ish girl. 5'6, 140 lbs, size 4. I worked hard to be that way and had lost 45 pounds over a period of a few years.  Despite eating fairly healthy and exercising to the degree that I can, I've gained 41 pounds at 33 weeks. I've been incredibly self conscious about it but have recently started to come around to loving the beautiful things my body is doing to grow our son.
