Loving My Body During Pregnancy

Im at 18 weeks and 5 days in this picture!

Whether if this is your first baby or fifth, your body goes through so many changes. Exhaustion, morning sickness, breakouts, and weight gain or weight loss every woman is different. For me this is my third and FINAL pregnancy and I must admit it's been a struggle to feel my best. I've been working on becoming more and more comfortable with these poppin breakouts and lovely stretch marks "Thats how I have to refer to them so they won't seem so negative" doesn't always work but like I said I'm working on it.

I've already came to the conclusion that I don't have that blemish free flawless body that I see on instagram and I am perfectly fine with that and to be honest my husband helps me a lot when it comes to my self-esteem, to him I'm his "hot sexy momma" corny right? lol I know but I love it so much. Some days I lay around in oversized t-shirts and leggings and some days I wanna be a little extra. Some days I take more time out the day to work on my appearance because the saying goes "if you look good you feel good." So if you have it in you to wake up a little earlier in the morning to beautify yourself GO FOR IT trust me that could make you feel better and eager to start your day.

DO SOMETHING YOU ENJOY during the day. Read a book by your favorite author, watch a tutorial on youtube "I'm a youtube junkie don't judge me" go change your nail color ANYTHING. If it's going to make you feel better about yourself GIRL DO IT!

Self-care is so important during pregnancy and if you have children already while pregnant good luck finding some alone time . I sometimes get the dilemma, when I put my kids to bed,....do I sleep while they are sleep? or do I enjoy my alone time? For the most part sleep wins but some nights I have it in me to take an extra long bath, give my self a facial, or just sit and have a hot cup of tea and enjoy my own company.

Have a pep talk with yourself! Know that your body is changing because the little human you created needs every inch of you. It's all a process, and if someone told you that it was easy they lied! THIS IS TOUGH! I mean can really be hard as hell, but the outcome will be so beautiful!
