I’ll start by saying that I am a thicker girl, so when I found out I was pregnant I was weary of how I would feel getting even bigger than I was.

I’m now 25 weeks pregnant, and it’s super hard on me.

I have a co-worker that is a week further along than I am and I constantly hear people talk about how cute her belly is, and it fucking kills me to not hear that same energy projected towards me, especially being that I’m 6 months pregnant now.

I just feel fat and ugly, and I’m struggling so much with my overall physical appearance the bigger I get.

I don’t have that cute round belly, I have a B-belly.

My hips keep getting wider, my boobs have gotten bigger.

I just overall am struggling.

On top of everything I am so overwhelmed with trying to find clothes that fit right. Especially since it’s so hard to find maternity clothes in store. Everything is online, and pants vary so much between different retailers, that I literally have breakdowns when stuff comes in and it doesn’t fit. Why is it so hard to be plus size and pregnant?

If you are a plus size mom, how did you cope with this?

How did you cope with your body changing?

Picture of me for reference, I was about 14 weeks
