self conscious

[RobiA]

I'm on my way to 26 weeks and I'm enjoying everything about being pregnant.  It's my first baby and I'm completely obsessed but some days it's really hard trying to keep up my health with people calling me fat. I wasn't super skinny before I got pregnant but for some reason people think it's okay to just continue to call me fat and tell me I need to work out. Your stomach is huge, are you sure there is just one baby in there?  I'm soooo tired of it. I don't even want to go out, I just like staying home so it's just me and baby girl growing together...then last night I went out and got to see a friend who is also pregnant and she is 19 weeks and doesn't even look like she's pregnant...I'm so jealous because I can't wear my jeans and I don't feel comfortable in a 2 piece but me feeling bad makes me feel like I'm going to be a horrible mother.  Is anyone else going through this? How do I let it go?

Surround yourself with positive and encouraging people. Your Dr should be the one to let you know about weight. You do however need to eat healthy to provide good nutrition to the baby. If you feel like you really have a hard time letting this go, what about counseling? They are professionals that find your thought patterns and help you develop healthy patterns if you need it. Its not for everyone but the option is there if you wanted to try it.
