I'm not weighing myself this pregnancy. I am the heaviest I've ever been before I convinced and it effected my body imagine. I was trying to loose weight over the past year. Last pregnancy I did track my weight, but this time I think I'll weigh myself next 3 months post partum. I was starting to loose weight in the months before getting pregnant I went low carb, but that's neither easy or recommended in pregnancy. Id got a taste for fatty foods so feel like I'd put it all back on within weeks of pregnancy, I've been so hungry, and not sick. And much less active.
But we're growing another human.
I recently am not liking how fat my face and neck feels. I'm trying not to fixate on body image but my husband jokes about it sometimes, I don't laugh, I hope he gets the message soon that saying something is a joke isn't funny. My tolerance of people in general has gone right down.
I remember my cousin saying to me post partum a midwife told her it's 9 months on and 9 months off. But I didn't loose my baby weight from my first until I was postpartum with my 2nd. But I wasn't intentionally losing it then, I probably had postnatal depression but didn't get help from it and couldn't be bothered to eat much or excersise for a while.
So since I got over that, I associate being thinner with feeling unhealthy so it's complicated for me.
