Plus size and Pregnant

I am having the hardest time with body image. On top of that I feel so guilty about it. See, I struggled with infertility for 7yrs. Finally with our 3rd IUI I am now pregnant.

I feel like Jabba the Hutt and my clothes have been tight and ill fitting since the week I peed on that stick.

I have been told that ALL women go through this which makes me feel a little better but still not feeling confident or even pregnant for that matter.

I actually lost 25# before we started with IUI. I changed some really bad habits and was beginning to have a exercise routine at home. I then halted the exercises once we started IUI for safety and each time it failed I emotionally ate.

I fluctuated 10# for months because of that. Then I became pregnant and learned I now have Hypothyroidism. I now have regained all 25# back. Which also adds to my sadness. I worked so hard for that 25# but I also have to remember I worked hard for that miracle baby too in my belly.

Ladies - did you struggle to with images issues? Did feeling your baby help?
