When I found out I was pregnant (around 6 weeks) to just this past week. I know there's a wonderful little nugget growing in there but seeing and knowing how much more my body is going to change really depresses me. I've struggled so bad over the years with my body image. This year I was at the healthiest weight I've been in a long time, for a long while I was sickly thin. I wish it was something I could get over easily but it's been probably the most difficult thing. But maybe in the end this pregnancy will make me love my body, and strive to make it even better.

Just keep in mind that you are giving life! I heard a saying "Mothers are closest to godliness because only they can share in the creation of life."

you should follow how your baby is changing every week, hopefully that will make it easier for you to embrace the changes. it's mostly that little life inside of you that is changing, and likely your body will go right back to how it was once that little life is on the outside! any weight gain is temporary for that little nugget in you!! you can do it!!

I was the same way but being overweight really got to me. And you know being pregnant makes you gain even more. But like @mommytoabel said we are giving life and it's a gift from God so we must appreciate it. Just pray love that you don't fall into depression because satan will fill your head with so much negativity that you stress yourself out. Don't fall into it love because now it's about your baby you know? It's not all about us anymore. We are responsible for the little angels in our bellies.

I've struggled with bulimia for years & still did when I was first pregnant.. Obviously I would keep some food down.. but I had a choice to make.. hurt me or my baby or learn to love myself & all the changes for my baby.. my boobs are the size of China & I have stretch marks now.. but when I look in the mirror I see a woman that is carrying a baby & anything that I do affects her too.. she doesn't have a say in anything I do.. & I am a completely different person.. I know I'll probably not look the same & it will take a while to get back to what I was but meeting that little person is going to be a life changing experience.. how can you love someone so much you have never met before?? Idk, but it's possible.. keep your chin up.. & think positive.. easier said than done.. but it will come in time.. you are beautiful & you will be even more beautiful afterwards..

I know how you feel. In high school and college I struggled bad with an eating disorder. Luckily I was finally able to work through it and get to a healthy weight but I am majorly discouraged by my weight gain, especially since this is my first baby. I've gained a lot more than I originally thought. Today at the doctors office I pretty much bawled my eyes out when she left the room. I'm gonna work hard after baby to get to a weight I can feel happy about. Hang in there mama, you truly are beautiful and you will continue to be your whole pregnancy! Just eat well and exercise when you can so you know that you're doing everything to stay in the best possible shape while still giving baby everything it needs :)
