I definitely feel insecure being pregnant too. It's funny in the mornings I feel good and I feel strong and like my body is firm and I just have a bump. Then by night time I feel fat and jiggly and gross lol I think it's common for us pregos to feel this way. Not that that makes me feel any better. It's a sucky feeling to have your body doing things you can't control. But in the end it's worth it and we will be able to reclaim our bodies!

We get this way because we think ohhh our bump is cute then sometimes we realize this weight gain/belly growing cant be stopped its apart of pregnancy and we can't control the change we can just prevent to much

I lost 38lbs. Before I got pregnany pregnant because I was unhappy with being over weight then I found out I was pregnant and now im insecure again and paranoid of scales and gaining weight. Soooo I asked my doctor how can I prevent to much weight gain... she told me on monday 3/3 more fruits veggies and walk. Less carbs like pastas and breads
