No longer beautiful
Hi.
I'm 16 weeks. And i already love him or her. But ive had a history of depression and low self esteem even before my little angel. Now as I'm gaining weight and no longer fitting jeans or even bras I've started ro go back to that stage of low self- esteem. The father of my baby is sweet and tries to cheer me up. But on the inside i feel as if i'll never be beautiful to him again. And not even to myself. Any advice maybe?

it's sad you feel that way, of course during pregnancy your mood will change and vary and you may find yourself dwelling on particular feelings. try to think of the miraculous work your body is doing to create and sustain a new life. do you plan to breastfeed? I know it's not he safe for everyone but I found that breastfeeding and eating a healthy and nutritious diet after baby was born meant that it didn't take long to return to my earlier weight.
