I have always been fit and active and had a good body, since being pregnant this changed. As i was so unwell at the start i didn't exercise, i have lost my muscle and feel like a sack of potatoes (I'm gradually exercising again now).
I am 22 weeks, and I get a lot of comments saying "Your belly is huge" and "you are so big now, the baby must come early!" Including from my husband. I am pretty sure he doesn't find me attractive AT ALL and although i have spoken to him about it and he says he does, his comments and actions don't make me feel it at all.
I am REALLY worried that i am gradually hating my body more and more and this may end up making me resent having baby before he is born. I am SO excited to be a Mum and don't want to start parenthood badly because i feel so crap about myself.
Any tips?
Any online therapy?
I need to start loving my body before i end up spiralling into deep depression.
Help please?
