Today was one of those days where I had to gently remind myself: this is temporary, and that’s more than a weight gain, it’s building the full support system for a new life. I started this journey at 60kg. As of today, I’m at 74.1kg (Week 39). My body feels foreign to me—clumsy, puffy, swollen. I’ve noticed my veins becoming more visible, and there’s cellulite appearing in places I never used to see it. These changes are natural, I know that. But they’re also unfamiliar, and at times, uncomfortable. I find myself moving through the day not quite recognizing the body I’m in—and that’s a strange, emotional thing to sit with. Despite how incredibly grateful and excited I am to be pregnant, I won’t pretend that every day is easy. Some days, like today, the emotional weight of change just hits a little harder. I try to stay positive, to be grounded in perspective and appreciation—but I’m also learning that it’s okay when the hard days show up. It’s okay to not feel okay. It’s okay to miss your old self, even as you embrace the new. It’s okay to hold both gratitude and discomfort in the same breath. Pregnancy is a beautiful transformation—but it’s still a transformation. And in the middle of all that shifting, stretching, and becoming, it’s okay to feel a little lost sometimes. Sending love to anyone who’s feeling the same. You’re not alone. 💛 My green, floral bikini is from Amazon, but I found other great similar options below! LTKWatchNow LTKBump LTKSwim
