body changes during pregnancy!! I’m almost halfway and the changes are rapid and wild 🥹🫨
if you’re struggling with this, I just wanna share my favorite reframe: I GET TO grow my baby!!! 💓
after loss and a long IVF journey I truly waited 2 years for this and on any day I’m having a harder time accepting my changing body, I remind myself of the absolute beautiful blessing and privilege it is to be pregnant!! seriously I still have to pinch myself 😭✨
other things I’ve found helpful!
— listening to
@samispalter podcast episode on
@transform about this exact topic with her own set of tools that are so relatable — focus on who you’re becoming, not who you were 🫶🏼
— fun
@nuuly rentals so I can wear cute outfits right now and keep up with the bump as she grows
— on the same note, I invested in a few staple pieces that are comfy to grow in
— stop comparing my body to other pregnant bodies!! my lil 5’3 body with thicc thighs is gonna carry differently than my tall gals and not everyone is gonna “show” at the same time or in the same way 🙃
—
@thesculptsociety prenatal workouts to feel strong!! I’ve always emphasized strong > small but I appreciate this even more now
— getting in steps and staying active to improve circulation, reduce pain and promote a healthy pregnancy and labor
— have fun nourishing my body with key nutrients while also honoring my baby girl’s cravings!
— connect with my baby through meditations to stay present and stay rooted in my purpose behind the changes
— follow along each week of pregnancy with the
