I had to repost this for the mommies!!

I always see post about feeling unattractive how much they hate the stretch marks their partner makes them feel worse when they see them look at other women even if it's just a 30 second commercial, how much they feel huge and so on. Stop beating yourself up it's not good. Pregnancy is suppose to be a beautiful thing and yes it comes with not so beautiful extra baggage but we need to embrace it! If you got stretch marks lather up, stay hydrated, thank your mama for the gene, throw on a cute outfit and keep it moving lol. If you are feeling "huge" embrace those extra curves who said having a little extra cushion was wrong!? Dnt let ppl or your dr jump down your throat about weight feed that baby unless u have medical issues then of course listen to them but if not ladies its nothing wrong with feeding those craving!!! Also do some cardio if you feel uncomfortable 30 mins of walking does a lot for all the right parts!! If your partner is watching something and another women's body pops up oh well!! Join in with him make jokes it's only tv! I know when a naked girl pops up on tv I'll joke with him even out in public and I catch him doing the double take I'll say something to play around but he still knows I'll straight act a fool if that line gets crossed!!! It's important for us as women to be comfortable with ourselves and stop comparing ourselves to other women because it's not good. I decided to cut my hair really low because it was falling out so bad. I was afraid what others would say and even what my bf would say. Questions like would he still find me attractive or be embarrassed to go out with me went through my head. Then I realized who cares what others think I'm not living for them if they dnt like it oh well I love myself and that's all that matters! So moms please please stop downing yourself or feeling like crap when family, friends, etc make smart a$$ comments about us and embrace those prego bodies, booties, and boobies!!!

I get both reactions from my hubby.
One day he'll be like "babe you look so ghetto I've seen other pregnant girls and they dress nice" so it kinda puts me down but its what i feel comfortable in so IDC
Then another day he'll be like" damn I have to get you pregnant again cause I love your roundness and glow, your soft skin turns me on" lmao he makes me feel like the hippo from Madagascar 2.. He has his on/off days

Wow, well said, I was huge before pregnancy and now that I'm justified for eating lol, I'm embracing it, I dress nice, I cut my hair too because it was falling out, and people tell me I look gorgeous and that this pregnancy is doing something good for me, and even my hubby looks at me more and with more love than before, I get embarrassed when he looks at me like that but I'm enjoying it ♡♡♡

Preach!  :-)  I'm not showing yet, but I'm loving my body so much right now which is NOT how I normally feel. My body is doing amazing works by creating a precious life. I agree with you, embrace it!
