So this past week I have had a few people touch my stomach and while they meant well, I certainly felt a bit uncomfortable. After losing close to fifty pounds with still having another thirty pounds to lose and now being pregnant and already seeing a change in my body - I am still uncomfy with my stomach area. The rest of my body seems to look and feel the same but my stomach is growing and while I know I am in the beginning phases of pregnancy and that every body is different it just makes me feel so out of place. I am 4'11 so any weight I gain shows up quicker since I am so short. I know many woman who do not show at all until at least 6 months- I certainly am not one of those girls! Body image will always be an issue for me, but do not take me wrong - I am so blessed to be having a baby and very excited about it! I just think this will take some time and I am beginning to adjust but the whole touching the belly thing and people looking at me wondering if im pregnant or just fat kinda makes me feel uncomfortable.
I am curious if any of my followers have felt similar to me during pregnancy, I'd like to hear your story! So please feel free to comment below!! :)
