I'm almost 32 weeks and I'm not going to lie I'm struggling with the weight gain ๐Ÿ˜” I know it's the least important thing and baby is most important so please none of these comments I just want to know if any one is feeling the same way? my tummy is all bump I don't have any weight there ect but my legs have just gotten so thrumpy and out of shape and the tops of my arms have grown over night, before pregnancy I suffered with body issues such as starving myself to be thin ect ( around the ages 17-19) I wouldn't allow any weight on me because well I don't even know I guess it's all in the mind well I'm now 20 almost 21 and felt I was a normal size before pregnancy ( size 8 ) maybe a little bigger and now I feel I pushing way way past that , I don't really know what the point in this post was I guess I just feel a lot of self hate right now and I feel ashamed in myself .. I guess I'm just scared when I've had my little baby I'm going to hate what I see and slip back into the old me and that can't happen I know ..I've been told to 'talk to someone ' but it doesn't help as they just put it down to body dysmorphia which I was diagnosed with at the ages stated above. Before pregnancy I didn't have any of these issues I had gotten pass the not eating stage and was a healthy 10 stone girl. Just need someone to tell me this is relatively normal
