Month 6

Well, there is no mistaking it, there another person has moved in and he/she is making major renovations on your body. You belly has grown to a point that you never thought you'd see, and you still have more to go, seriously, there's more to come. Now this is a critical time for your emotional and physical well being. You don't feel good about yourself, you ache and your belly arrives a full 10 second before you. I know I've been there, but let me tell you, do not fall into big belly despair. You are not fat, you have a person growing inside you, a person that is going to change you life forever, this little bump in the middle of your body is nothing. You can deal with this, but you must accept it. You are not fat, do not call yourself fat and do not, whatever you do, dress yourself fat. Stretch pants and your husbands tee shirts are fine if you are going to walk the dog, but do not go out in public this way. It just reinforces that inner voice that tells you your fat and you don't look good. You look good but you have put some effort into it. Remember, you didn't just roll out of bed and walk out the door and look fabulous before you got pregnant, you did something. So every morning comb your hair, fix it, put make up on, wear perfume, you are a girl. BE THE GIRL. Now, wear something that is pretty, ignore the bump and wear something pretty. A beautiful maternity top will show off your pregnancy, remember you're pregnant not fat, and you will get compliments all day. You won't believe how good you'll feel when someone compliments you in maternity clothing. It's the best.
