Compliment yourself :)

I don't know if you ladies are where I am at, but I'm feeling huge and not attractive. It doesn't help that it's the middle of winter and all my sweaters make me look bigger...

So I decided to focus on what I LIKE about my pregnant body versus looking at negatives.

My answer? My boobies Smile I don't have big boobies in real life so I am digging my cleavage right now. When DH and I go out together (which is rare) I've been trying to wear low-cut tops. I guess flaunt them while I have them, right?

How about you?? What are liking more about your pregnant self than your non-pregnant self?

My boobs also, I've gone from a B to a D. Just wait till the milk comes in, wowza.

I am actually more confident with my body when I am pregnant. I am very self-conscious when I am not, and I am not skinny so being pregnant feels good. It's nice not sucking it in all the time! LOL

My boobies, they went from a small C to a full D ... I also like my booty, its on the small side, but it has really perked up with this pregnancy :

This is a great idea. Last night I noticed a few stretch marks getting darker and that did not make me happy. Then I noticed how nice my boobs look even without a bra and it somehow made everything okay. Now if they would just hurt a little less... poor DH can't even enjoy my boobs because I won't let him touch since they hurt so bad! haha

The other thing I like about my pregnant body is finally having a noticeable unmistakably pregnant belly! For awhile there I just felt fat, not pregnant. Now that strangers are noticing it feels a lot more real and I find myself trying to dress to accentuate my bump.

You know, this is a good point. I tend to wear tighter tops now than I usualyl would because I am not concerned about the belly Smile

I love my bump!

Ditto! I love my bump too!

I love my belly and not having to suck in! I too feel more confident in my body pregnant, since my belly was always one of my trouble spots before.

Yeah mine are out of control! With DS i went to a DD. I didn't BF so you better believe I strapped those puppies down for a week until the milk went away!

My hips and butt can still fit in my pp jeans. There's no way they will be buttoned, but it makes me feel good that my @ss hasn't grown as much as I feel like it, so if push came to shove and I have not done laundry and all my maternity pants are dirty, I can grab my bella band and a regular pair of jeans (making sure I have a long top) and be good to go in a pinch.

I like my bump and the baby inside, but that's about it. If nothing else, I appreciate my prepregnancy body more now. I was always frustrated with my extra 5 lbs around the belly button [duh...ample alcohol and lack of cardio generally don't equal flat abs] and I hated having big boobs, but suddenly none of it seems that bad. I can't wait to shrink back to a DD or smaller, and I will proudly wear a little extra tummy cushion since, after all, I will have borne a child!

I am loving my hair! It is normally kind of wavy, which can be hard to manage. But as soon as I got my BFP it got curly with really nice body. I have been washing it in the morning, putting a little product in and styling my bangs only and walking out the door. It curls up beautifully on its own. LOVE it!

luckylauren14 · February 2013

I am enjoying reading all of these posts! Thanks for participating ladies!

I know the end result (baby!) is the best part, but it still is hard to adjust to a quickly changing body and it's great to remind ourselves that some of those adjustments are pretty awesome right now Smile

I like having a little junk in the trunk haha. I normally have a very flat butt... But when I'm pregnant it fills out a little :]

Ditto!

Yep this!

Shoegal36 · February 2013

My legs are super soft, and the hair doesn't seem to be growing...like at all. It feels like I shaved yesterday and it's been at least 2 weeks...it's the strangest thing! Anyone else notice this?

I wouldn't go so far as to say that it feels like I shaved yesterday after two weeks, but I do find myself only shaving about once a week now. The growth has definitely slowed a lot.

My hair! It's usually on the thin side, and oily. Now it has more volume and I don't have to shampoo it as frequently (which helps its overall health anyway).

LN1024 · February 2013

I love my bump and accentuating it (instead of trying to hide my stomach) in my clothing.

quiggels219 · February 2013

I'll join in on the my hair is not really growing bandwagon and I love it. I am shaving twice a month, but I really do not have much stubble at all. I am also really happy and grateful I have no strecth marks so far! Hoping I keep that up

I'd have to say my bump and butt lol.

This exactly.

mrsthomas3311 · February 2013

Good idea! because lately I have been feeling not so hot at all..but I am still liking my booty (when the cellulite is covered of course) and my bump is in a pretty cute stage right now I think.. and my boobs went from a B to a D so that is also nice, bring on the milk and make me more happy..although I probably won't be thinking that once they are huge and hurting.

I am good at living with what is thrown at me! I am kicking Hospital bed rests ass!
