Feeling FAT While Pregnant!

Feeling fat while pregnant can be a really hard, but common, feeling to experience! You want to eat enough so that your baby grows and is healthy, but it’s hard when you see the number go up and up.

I have struggled with this in my last two pregnancies, and I probably will again in my 3rd. Right now I’m at the point in pregnancy where I don’t look pregnant enough but I also don’t fit into my old clothes!

I have come to realize that it’s all just in your mindset and perspective! With my 1st pregnancy it was a bigger transition and my body changed more than it ever had, so I felt a lot fatter and more uncomfortable.

In my 2nd pregnancy, I gained more and was technically “fatter” but I didn’t feel as fat because I was used to it! I definitely still struggled but it wasn’t as much as the first time around!

If you’re in the same boat now, know that it’s common! Eating enough and giving your baby proper nutrition is more important than how much you’re gaining! Focus on eating real, nutrient dense foods and whatever weight you gain is what your body needs!

You’ve got this!!!
