How body dysmorphia impacts my pregnancy journey

- Body dysmorphia has run over a decade of my life. And just when I think I’m over it, I get pregnant and triggered. This is how I’m working through body dysmorphia these days with my bun in the oven.

Thank you for this lil pick me up. This is my first baby & with someone who already struggles with BDD I knew it would be hard seeing my body change due to pregnancy. Im working until it’s time to take my maternity leave, however the remarks about my growing bump or the inappropriate questioning is getting to a point where I’m not enjoying my pregnancy I’m sick and tired of the commentary let me & my body/baby just be. It’s like every interaction is surrounded by my baby everything….. I’m at a point now where I’m just letting people know where I stand and I don’t have to share if I don’t want to . Having your changing body on display for the world to see & not only that for them to feel the need to say something about it frustrates me. Only have two 1/2 more months to go hoping I make it through. 🙏💛
You bring up such a great point - our society minimizes the importance of the mother and her unique desires in this whole process. Your desires are important - you don’t have to share if you don’t want to! Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you for posting this. I related to EVERYTHING you said! As someone who has a history of ED, seeing my body change through pregancy has been really hard - and I'm only in the second trimester so I know it will get harder before it gets easier! I've been looking for ways to think about this and also just reassurance that what I'm experiencing is normal and doesn't make me a "bad mom". I needed to hear everything you said here. Thank you! And by the way, you are GLOWING!
Awh! You’re a good mama for engaging in this self inquiry. We have years of programming that tells us body = worth. To unfurl that while baby is in the womb is truly a gift to the next generation. 💖
