BIG hugs to you!

Hope you are feeling better today.

It is totally understandable that you be worried how you will look after your pregnancy. It is a journey that is different for each woman, and truly a blessing!

I have not put on any weight so far - having said that, I was overweight before I got pregnant. I am also diabetic and on a very strict diet, and on medications that restrict the amount of weight I will gain.

I my first pregnancy, I gained 20kg and lost all of that and a bit more. With my second pregnancy, I gained 15kg and lost all of that until I fractured my elbow and couldn't exercise, and gained some of that back.

Even with no weight gain (per scales) I am HUGE and can totally relate to feeling large and unattractive. But, then I think of the beautiful miracle that I will meet in just a few short weeks.

Best wishes to you, and I hope that you enjoy your pregnancy - it is all over too soon!
