love my pregnant body

Strange topic I know but I feel like there are so many people upset with the way they look and are uncomfortable with gaining weight. I personally am so in love with my baby bump I can't even tell you how cute I think it is. Am I alone on this? Anyone else feel they are just too cute lol?

    I love it too! It's obviously a baby belly and I'm totally embracing it. These boob stretch marks however are gonna catch it.

    I love it too. First time in my life that I don't need to worry about hiding my belly, since it wasn't flat too begin with. Enjoy it!

    I was just saying to DH today as I was sifting through clothes that wont be fitting for awhile. I have a higher tolerance for all of my lumps and bumps right now, I almost feel as if I have the opposite of body dismorphia.  I'm not nearly as critical of how clothes are fitting me these days. It's great, I love it, but I'm hoping the pendulum wont crash down on me postpartum.

    I'm not displeased with mine right now. Had to put up some clothes that don't look right. But my high school students are very encouraging. They always comment on how tiny I am and how they can't believe I'm half way done with pregnancy and I'm still smaller than the majority of the high school cheerleaders. And I have amazing cleavage. I was an A cup when I started and now I've got these awesome B cups. Low cut shirts are now my favorite and if I wasn't set on the boob job issue before I defiantly am now. Once all is said and done I'm buying these puppies to get them back :)

    You're lucky! I'm having a hard time with my body. As somebody who struggles to stay at a healthy weight, gaining weight has been hard on me, even though for good reason. Also I'm since my "bump" is not round, it just looks like I'm getting wider, so it's haft to embrace my pregnant body when I feel fat and people can't tell I'm pregnant.

    I love my pregnant body as of now. I was a A cup and now their perky,full and big! I was very sick in my first trimester, and even sometimes still (like 5 mins ago lost my dinner). But now that Ive got a preggo belly, I love it. Now instead of just feeling pregnant im looking more pregnant! Even though I'm pretty slim normally, and even though I like how i look for once, TMI alert.. My sex life is non existent right now which is keeping me feeling shitty about myself bc i feel like my bf isn't attracted to me. Which may or may not be the case but that's how it feels.

    I've struggled with my weight my whole life. Back and forth gaining and losing..chest out, shoulders back, chin out and suck it in! Constantly self conscious of my rolls etc. For the first time in my life I feel some relief. I physically can't suck in anymore so I just roll with it! And I secretly love it. My boyfriend loves it too surprisingly!

    I like it more when I look more preggoish and less fatish.  It varies over the course of a day even.  Oh well, i know the time will come where Im showing a lot!

    I love my bump :) and now that my bloat is almost completely gone, it has turned into a very cute little bump that I adore. Cant say I felt like this at 15 weeks, but at 19 weeks I now love putting on my maternity skinny jeans and my adorable maternity tops(they DO exist after all!) I have always been up and down with my weight, and for the first time in a long time I can let that go and just let my body be. :) I'm with you mama!

    Always hold on to hope ❤

    I love my 2nd tri bump, 3rd tri bump gets big, sweaty, and heavy. For me at least.

    I concur. Shit hits the fan in the 3rd trimester...

    Not necessarily loving the pregnant body, but definitely loving the maternity clothes. They make my rolls look like actual baby bump(which is about 1/2 of the rolls). That makes me feel a great deal less self conscious.

    I'm torn, I was always pretty fit, but have gained a little weight overall, (15 lbs/17 weeks) and am already swelling some in the second trimester. I like that people sort of expect me to gain weight, so I don't have to care as much, but standing nakey in front of the mirror can be kind of a downer lol. (Other than my bump)

    Forgot to mention, hubby loves the extra fluff, so he really helps me to feel cuter.;3

    I love my pregnant boobs! I was a B, now I am a C. I love my bump, just wish it was a bit bigger! I am not showing all that much. (20 weeks tomorrow)

    I was fine until today..my belly is a cute little bump, but when I dressed for church today....I wasn't able to zip my dress! I thought to myself "okay Lord, the devil is not going to stop me from going to worship". So I zipped it at high as it would go and I put a blazer on...viola!!! LOL...I still was cute ;-)

    But then I decided to go dress shopping after church...whoa momma....I was hit with body conscious issued. I did not feel pretty in any of the dresses I tried on and felt matronly. Im not a super dress person anyway and feel more confident in slacks. So my next excursion will be for maternity slacks with cute blouses and I think I be back in business.

    on the PLUS side, my ex-husband told me Im still beautiful (smile)

    On the DOWN side, I had trouble getting into my heels today!!!! WTH?? I hope after baby, I can wear my pumps...like my feet grew just enough that my shoes don't fit...no swelling so I don't know whats the deal with that....
