Why is my body so different

Question

I stand on the scale everyday (probably not good I know) and my weight isn’t changing too much.
But I feel like my body just looks so so huge???
I’m 30 weeks now and clothes I was wearing just two weeks ago look and feel totally different😭
It’s giving me the blues😅
My mom just came to visit me and she’s lost a lot of weight and looks so tiny and I just feel like a monster next to her.
I know I just need to adjust my mental state and not worry. But it has gotten to me a bit. I want to entertain her and take her out. But I don’t know what to wear and it gives me a little anxiety every time😣😣
This is just a rant there’s probably not much I can do to feel better ~ almost at the finish line

Answer

I try to tell myself that during pregnancy and the first year after birth the only weight that matters is my babies. This helps me flip my mind a bit having the focus on my baby. Knowing that me growing and being uncomfortable in clothes means baby is growing well and gaining weight. After baby, my focus shifts again to them making sure they are gaining proper weight in the first year and growing. Takes a load off me always thinking about my weight. I also am a scale person, way more than I should but I have been my whole life so not focusing on my own weight has been hard. Whenever I feel crummy I just look at my belly and say “keep growing little one, you are doing so great” and it helps me feel better as a whole.

I think you look great! It does look like you are wearing an oversized shirt instead of a well-fitting maternity top, which makes simply makes you look bigger than you are, instead of fitting well at the arms and bust, and nicely accentuating your cute little bump. To be honest, I think you and your mom look to be about the same size, just you've got a baby bump. Like someone else, go buy some cute maternity clothes that look good on your body! It doesn't have to be a whole wardrobe. It can be only a few pieces for when you want to go out and feel good about yourself :)

I don’t have any advice but I just wanted to say I think you look great! You look like you’re glowing and look at the muscle definition in your legs! 😍😍

Answer

I think you feel bigger than you are especially in this picture I can tell you're not a big person, but the shirt is very large and shapeless on you so it's kinda tenting out? Try wearing a little bit of a tighter shirt and see how you view yourself then. Looking great mama!

Answer

When I felt this way during my second pregnancy, what really helped me was to splurge on some nice maternity clothes that fit me really well. Even if you’re only going to wear them a little while longer!
Growing a human is hard and watching yourself grow can be hard too, but I hope you can find the beauty in it and in yourself :)
