Tw- this post will contain body image issues
I'm currently 31+2 with my first baby and up until this point have not had any stretch marks.
I've had issues with body image in the past but I've been managing through this pregnancy.
I woke up with morning with a lot of stretch marks starting to form out of know where and it's really making it difficult for me to appreciate what my body is doing.
Don't get me wrong, I am blessed with the fact that my baby is healthy and happy and I wouldn't change anything and I believe all bodies are beautiful. If I see another lady with stretch marks, I think nothing less that pure admiration, but I can't seem to feel that way about my own body.
Did anyone else struggle with this at all?
My partner has done nothing but reassure me and tell me how much he loves my body and is in awe of what it's doing but I'm still struggling.
