Changing body anxiety

[Lilybow]

I'm 25 weeks pregnant and the last couple of weeks I have really popped. Planned pregnancy and after my last miscarriage I'm so grateful.
I can't help but feel worried about how big I'm getting everywhere else, which I'll probably be absolutely flamed for so please be kind. I know it's what i should expect, and I do love my growing bump.

I've always struggled with body image but I did not expect my thighs hips and arse to grow like this lol. I keep active and walk for an hour/two hours everyday. I'm the biggest I've ever been and despite loving my bump I'm so conscious of the rest of my body now and extremely worried I'm unattractive to my husband now, who is also not wanting sex thar much because he finds it weird there's a baby in there, which I understand but with my expanding body I can't help but feel massive.

Did anyone find the weight took a very long time to lose after pregnancy? Did your body get a lot bigger too?

Can’t comment on the losing weight- I’m 31 weeks pregnant and feeling the same way as you.
I love that I’m pregnant and so thankful for the baby. I’m just feeling all over the place about my body and what it will look like afterwards.
My baby is quite large and everyone comments on how big I look. They all think it’s great and make jokes about it but it just makes me feel worse. My cousin is 39 weeks pregnant. Our family keep commenting that I’m bigger than her and still have a little while to go.
Sorry for the rant, jusg wanted to say you’re not alone!

Hi Myinsidevoice, rant away! I've been getting similar comments too. A family member has two kids and I'm bigger than she was when she was at the same stage with her two children apparently and I must be having a huge baby.
I can deal with the bump, I adore it. Just looks like I'm having a baby in each thigh now as well and my thighs have always made me conscious as it is before pregnancy as I'm a pear shape.

Can’t suggest anything but wanted to jump on here and say that at only 15 weeks, my body is changing lots and I’m struggling with it too. I really empathise. Xx

I keep reminding myself of all the amazing things my body is doing. It helps a little knowing that it’s doing everything jt should be. I guess once I’m ready afterwards I’ll take some time to try get myself into a shape that I feel happy with.
Has your partner said anything about your body?
