Pregnancy Body

I want to have a little talk about the pregnancy body, and just how beautiful it is, whether you believe it or not!

I am absolutely blessed and thrilled that my body is going to change. Yes it will grow and stretch and go through this beautiful change as it nurtures and protects my growing baby. I am embracing my stretch marks, and my extra fat I seem to be gaining.

I understand that some women want a certain body, and pregnancy can change it and it scares them. Suddenly they have gained weight, and maybe got some cellulite. And that's fine. But you shouldn't get so caught up on losing the baby weight right away! Make sure you are healthy and eat well, exercise regularly and the weight will come off. This is a beautiful change! These new marks on your body are a symbol of the life you created. Don't feel fat, or like a whale. You are growing a gorgeous little baby. If you feel down and not beautiful, just remember what a beautiful thing your body is doing right now. Remind yourself of the reward that you will receive in just a few months, or weeks depending on how far a long you are.

I have always wanted to be a mom and to know what it feels like to create a life so precious and so unique. To feel a baby kick and hiccup and grow inside me.

I want to embrace this whole experience. I don’t mind if my boobs sag a little after, they sag enough already! I don’t mind having more stretch marks, they’re my tiger stripes! And cellulite and wide hips, I welcome it! If these are the marks I receive for creating life than I welcome it!

Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, a little person who depends on your for absolutely everything is growing inside you! Why would you blame this sweet little baby for changing your body? This little person didn’t ask to be brought into this world. Appreciate the change, appreciate the fact that even though your body is marked, and changed it has done something incredible!
