I’m 24+4 and struggling hard with body image issues. I feel like I look so much bigger than friends who are pregnant, and am having a hard time with unsolicited comments about my weight/size. This isn’t helped by the fact that I started this pregnancy almost 20lbs overweight. I hit a low point this week when the front desk admin at my office most recently expressed her surprise that I was NOT having twins...

All this has made me so much more grateful for this forum and the posters who are sharing their lovely bump photos. It’s so great to see bumps of all sizes and hear from women who are totally embracing this experience. It gives me great perspective.

So, thanks to all the posters on here! I’m grateful to feel you’re support, even if indirectly.
