To be so annoyed with myself for not losing weight before getting pregnant

I am due in May. First pregnancy I was pretty big and was determined to lose weight after the birth. I did so, looked great (though I say so myself) but gained quite a lot back when I went back to work - very gradually but it crept up on me.

I am annoyed with myself. Cannot get any maternity clothes that fit - there isn’t a great choice at the best of times. Increasingly limited choice of clothes to wear and I feel and look scruffy and shabby. You can’t really tell i am pregnant due to my weight so I don’t get that nice ‘bump’ most pregnant women do. Of course there are risks associated with being overweight and pregnant but have dodged these luckily. Just annoyed with myself that I can’t take pics of my bump or feel properly pregnant due to my own greed. Won’t be having any more children so just a bit gutted!

Take pictures anyway. You may not want to have them insta or fb if that's how you feel but take the photos anyway.

You have an incredible thing happening inside your body and you've lost the weight before and you will again.
