Hormonal vent thread

Ladies, sometimes we just need a safe space to vent our pregnancy aggravation, so here we go! Feel free to use as needed for anything you want to get off your chest. 😉

Here's mine...
#1 - Why are people, I don't often talk to, asking me for a baby bump picture? I think that's so weird. If you're not someone I would've sent selfies to before, I won't start now. 
#2 - Speaking of pictures, I've been very self conscious of how I look now that I'm officially 6 months I feel huge and gross. Deep down I know I'm not but I don't recognize my own body anymore and it makes me sad. I know my body is hard at work developing our son and I'm thankful for that but I get sad because I feel like a stranger in my own skin. Because of that, I have only taken pictures to show my husband, to privately document the journey, and to my mom who lives out of state. For us, it's a more private journey and not something I'm publicly posting on social media or for anyone else. But, I just found out my mom has been showing the bump pictures to my brother. 😑 I'm fuming. Particularly because she of all people knows I limit the things I share with him and certainly don't provide pictures that he can use as ammunition against me to make me feel worse about myself. I'm also really hurt because I thought I could trust her to keep this special journey between us. I guess from now on the only person I'll share them with is my husband...
