Just looking for advice really. I have had an eating disorder in the past, which I have struggled to keep under control. I am now 6 months pregnant. This has been so good for me and everything I worried about in terms of body changes and how I would react hasn't happened. I have been completely focused on eating well and trying my best for my baby.
However, I have continually been getting comments about how big I am, apparently all over. I am 5ft8 and gone up to a size 12..... Hardly massive!!! So I have tried to shrug this off. I had one woman make me worry so much as she was saying you have ballooned up far too much etc. Had my midwife app today and she said I was fine, completely unconcerned about my weight and bump is measuring as it should.
Saw my PIL who ripped me to pieces about how much weight I have put on. They took pictures and I said please don't, I don't want to see them etc, don't put them on FB etc. Then when I left, my MIL sent them to me. It is stupid really but just pics of me sat on the sofa chatting, one with me eating etc like non posed pics.... Awful pics!! I just broke down seeing them and as much as I am trying not to focus on it, it is all so triggering. I don't feel strong enough and all this focus on my weight is making me worry I will relapse, perhaps as soon as baby is born. My H is very supportive but didn't know the picture thing had happened. I suppose I just am looking for some wise words of advice.
