Have you struggled with body image during your pregnancy?

[jessicasotelo]

This is so helpful! I am 22 weeks and struggling with all of the comments, opinions, and comparisons. I literally cannot take it anymore. My last appointment was at 20 weeks. According to the scale at my midwife's office, I have gained 3lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. My midwife congratulated me on my lack of gaining "a lot" of weight. I thought this was strange and with my ED history. Her comment has helped catapult me into a spiral of body image hatred. I have family members that constantly compare my pregnancy to their own in a way that sparks competition. Everyone expects me to stay small and fit. I am literally losing my mind. I have a MIL that always comments on everyone's weight. Big, fat, skinny, small...it's horrible. Her comments to me about pregnant bodies and pregnant women looking fat is devastating. Anyway... I am really happy I found your channel.
