Body changes during pregnancy

When you look at a pregnant woman, you may think that everything is happening in the belly. This is not true!

Your body is undergoing many changes, both inside and outside. Your hormones are the main reason for the changes your body is going through, especially at the beginning of pregnancy.

Fatigue, constipation, heavy breasts... Your body is getting ready. This is only an average, but you usually gain between 9 and 15 kilos during this adventure. Stretch marks may appear.

Moments of fatigue sometimes alternate with bursts of energy that make you glow and give you a peachy complexion!

32 weeks! Currently 34 we are almost there I am so excited to meet my baby boy! Before I knew I was pregnant I weight 95lbs and now I am 140lbs. Crazy how a baby can change your body it’s upsetting I got stretch marks now but I am trying to embrace them, it’s all about being a women and going through beautiful changes in life. #newmommy #babyboy #bellybump #stretchmarks

You still pretty tho❤️ a real one gone love them stretch marks on you. Plus they fade into natural skin tone after a while😊 they won't be that noticeable. And the only one who can see them will be the one who deserve to ❤️❤️❤️

I’ll be 20 weeks in 2 days and I feel huge. I’ve been asked 4 times since becoming pregnant if I’m sure I’m not having twins. Anyone else struggling mentally with their body changes? #bump#belly#changes#mentalhealth

I've just been severely depressed during this pregnancy, the body changes everything is just a lot. I know I'm not the only new mom feeling this way. Mental health is very important especially during pregnancy. I just feel shitty, fat and unattractive.

It may sound harsh but I can't wait until my pregnancy is over. I'm the only one stressing in the relationship my so called boyfriend just doesn't see all I'm going through. The body changes the mental changes it's too much. I shouldn't have to feel everything is on my shoulders. I shouldn't have to be this stressed out at 7 months.

I feel you on this 100% I’ve been the only one buying stuff for our baby and he’s now just starting to “ show he cares” by doing “ check ins” only reason why he’s acting all “ good” now is because he wants to take me to court for 50/50 custody so he doesn’t have to pay much in child support and try and control me more but hasn’t come to any appointments but here I am going alone doing everything alone again working my ass off everyday letting him know weeks ahead of time when the appointments are and his excuse is “ I can’t get off work I work lot we’re an hour away” Or will ignore me but wants to be better for me and the baby and wants to be in my life but isn’t putting any effort

it's always on the women alone at the end of the day. Sometimes I feel like people just bring you down more. Before him I was active doing me had my job, didn't have to worry about no nigga cheating I was single and happy. Now I'm pregnant I can't do anything I used to do anymore my doctor took me off work yesterday, I've been back and forth in the hospital. Been staying in the hot ass house in the summer while they leaves with his brothers it's just like he's taking advantage of the pregnancy situation but this will never happen again I seriously want my tubes tied I can't go through shit alone anymore. With family drama trying to find a place to move he can't even focus on doing that but if his brothers call be jumps girl SMH and for your man he doesn't seem to have his priorities straight either why take you to court when you've been doing every damn thing, just cause he doesn't want to pay more in child support, a baby is a blessing but I just wish I would have waited.

Pregnancy has totally raised my anxiety and it gets the best of me all the time…😞 All these hormones and body changes, the insecurity and overthinking are brutal. I hate it here. 😓😔💔

There’s so much changing in your body, physically and emotionally. Hormones are out of this world. Try not to put so much pressure on yourself mama.
