I wish I was one of the women who feel most beautiful when pregnant

I’m nearly 30 weeks pregnant, and I’m really struggling with feeling confident about my body. I haven’t gained too much weight—I’m right in the appropriate range for my week. I’m exercising 4-5x per week. I’m eating healthy meals, though I am indulging in little treats or snacks, though I never go over the serving size so I’m not in a surplus of calories, but I notice every ounce I’ve gained. My arms looks fatter, my thighs, my face... I just feel so unattractive.

I’m VERY excited about baby #2. I know I need some fat for producing breast milk. I ended up getting skinnier/fitter after my first baby, so I know I can get right back on it after I get the all clear from the doctor postpartum. I swear I have a good attitude, I just wish I felt pretty when I was pregnant. I think the waiting process is hard, and I’m a stay at home mom now, so I’m alone with my thoughts a little too often these days. Lol. I also think Instagram and all the targeted ads for influencer accounts is making it worse. I had to purge my social media of accounts that made me feel inadequate. Anyone else? Or any words of encouragement? 💕
