Do I look too big?

Opel

Not trying to be one of those people that just wants people to tell them that they look amazing or whatever, I’ve just been really struggling this week. Up until recently I’ve been super excited and happy about my baby belly, for obvious reasons- BUT multiple people this week have told me I look huge, bigger than I should at this point in my pregnancy, which normally wouldn’t phase me but my midwives told me that I’ve gained too much weight already and that I’m on track to gain 50lbs. I’m now feeling really insecure, and gross and just all around bad about my new body. I struggle with body image issues as it is, so it’s been tough to adapt to my body as it grows my little one. I recognize that my body is doing something amazing and wonderful, but it’s been hard not to compare myself to every other pregnant woman, and tear myself down. I guess I’m just looking for advice on how to not stress so much about my weight. Also, share photos of your bumps if you have them from when you were this far along!! (27 weeks) 💜💜

Also, what are some of your favorite healthy, prego friendly snacks? :)
