Bodily Changes

I have no idea if my husband agrees with me but there is something strangely feminine about owning a pregnant body. Even though I am undoubtedly bigger and fatter, my big belly doesn’t bother me at all.

Under normal circumstances, if my belly became slightly bigger, I would feel completely not myself, down and heavy. However, the pregnancy belly and the pounds I put on as well as the other changes in my body strangely make me feel more womanly now. I no longer have a teenager’s body but a woman’s. And I am quite enjoying it.

Planet

My belly has grown so much in the last few days and my thighs and bums became so big that I feel like a planet. And I still have 4 months to go! I am scared of becoming so big.

On the other hand, I become more and more anxious and lose sleep if I don’t feel the baby move as much as before. I am an anxious wreck.

My GP told me today that my belly is the perfect size and the baby is hiding in the back of the placenta so the sound of its heartbeat can be heard only so faintly.

In the meantime, I should really cut down on my ridiculously increased chocolate intake. It is not helping me become any smaller.
