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
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?


Re: Compliment yourself :)
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
Ditto! I love my bump too!

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 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
Ditto!

Yep 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.
