How did y'all mentally deal with gaining a lot of weight?
I was kind of okay with having gained more than you're "supposed to" in an entire pregnancy by week 20 bc I couldn't really see where it went. I was used to being skinny so just figured I filled out. But NOW I'm tipping the scales with over 50 lbs of weight gain with 3 weeks to go, AND I can see it, I can see how huge my body is now. I'm very self conscious and have always hated people looking at me, and now I have to figure out how to dress and keep my chin up in public for another 3 weeks as I get even bigger!!?? I don't know how I can do it. I feel ashamed. I should've eaten better. I should've exercised. I shouldn't even care what my body looks like right now...I just can't help it. I don't even want to go to work anymore bc getting dressed is so depressing. 😢
Good vibes needed please ❤

@kjcross, I totally didn’t want to be induced but in order for me to be sure my dr is the one that delivers the baby it was necessary. I’m really hoping I go into labor on my own before my induction date cause I really don’t want the pitocin😣 I wanted to have a natural unmedicated birth, really a home water birth but unfortunately in Alabama you can not have a midwife and we have no birthing centers. It’s so unfair. 😕 but at this point being that I’ll be 38 weeks in 2 days I’m like reallyyyyy ready for him to be out. 😩
@hollieletcher01 I wish I knew when this would finally be over! It's like crappy that I can worry she'll come any day now, too early!, and also worry she'll stay past 40! But I'd rather the mystery than being induced, I think. I don't like drugs 😨
I've gone from a B to a D 😩...and it's my husband always telling everyone how huge I am 😒
@kjcross, oh my gosh. I know you know what I mean when I say I’m totally over being pregnant at this point! Luckily I’m being induced in 10 days so that’s a plus! My boobs have also gotten ginormous. 😂 I already had D’s before I got pregnant and now I’m in a DDD😳 and thanks girl! Everyone else especially hubs family likes to comment on how “huge” I’ve gotten and I’m like gee thanks... I can see that myself with my own eyeballs and don’t need your comments 😂
@hollieletcher01 you are TOO sweet. Thank you for that. I use the same thoughts to feel better about PP; I know I've got a ton of fluid and my boobs blew the heck up so that's got to be a lot of the weight too. I'm sure we will both bounce back! You don't look like you've even gained too much though, you look great.
I just can't stand being pregnant anymore...but I guess that's how everyone feels at this point lol
@kjcross, You look absolutely beautiful! I’ve also gained 50 lbs in my pregnancy and it’s taken a toll on me. Especially since I lost 30 before I got pregnant and I’ve gained that and 20 more back. What helps me though is knowing between the baby, blood, all the extra fluids, the uterus, placenta, etc. that totals up to around 30-35 lbs of weight so I like to think me, myself has only gained around 20 fat pounds. Don’t worry girl I have a feeling after you have the baby you will bounce right back! 😊 like I said you look beautiful mama.
I hate hate hate it but I try to remind myself that it's only temporary and it's for a really good reason. Hang in there.
@deadlylove magical elephants 😍 lol. I'm cool with this thinking and I could be okay if I didn't have to leave the house. I just want to quit my job so I don't have to go out in public at this point lol
Our bodies going through so much change so fast is hard. Sometimes you just have to remember you’re doing this for your baby and if your baby and you are healthy than it’s all okay. Your body is different now but definitely not bad. After the baby comes if you’re really not liking yourself you can always work on finding a good workout routine and eating healthier. Right now your body just isn’t all yours. Your growing a wonderful life inside you so your body is your baby’s home. Some woman get pregnant and can still look tiny but those are like rare magical unicorns. The rest of us normal people tend to be more like magical elephants. Still majestic. Still beautiful. Still amazing and wonderful. Nothing wrong with having a little extra curves :)
@lizsouthwick I wish my light was as close as yours!! I'm so ready to work on being me again! Best wishes with your birth!
@jessiexo I can't wait to workout! My feet haven't been able to tolerate all this weight. I have very high arches and have always been on the light side...and now I can barely walk. I am just miserable with the "almost a month left of this" mentality.
I don't want to spend more money on fat clothes I'm only going to wear for a couple weeks 😭
embrace your pregnancy!! just remember this is only temporary and your going to be one hell of a mom when baby is here. i was in the same boat i gained 60 pounds i didnt work out and ate like a fatty! YOU have to make the decision to change what you dont like. Dont become a couch potatoe... waist train right after baby, do home workouts, detox, go in walks. youll feel amazing, you got this momma!!
I’ve gained 70 😞 I just cry about it lol. I give birth in 2 days, so there’s a light
And girl I’d have to set my husband straight on that real quick! He should be the one lifting you up telling you how beautiful you are!
