The tricky thing about women is we are sensitive.
If we are NOT pregnant and has that muffin top (like in the first trimester), we get offended, insulted, sensitive and we’ll either go into depression or binge-eat because what’s the difference – people think we are pregnant anyways! Oh the woes!
Don’t ask me the logic of why we binge-eat if the truth is that we just have a cute muffin top and eating more would contribute to that. Just don’t.
If we ARE pregnant and trying to hide it or am adjusting to how our body changes (and not just being fat but really conscious of what people are thinking of us), it just takes someone to ask ‘Are you pregnant?’ to set off a ‘*GASP!!!” Can you tell?!’ and hours of scrutinizing our naked body and wondering how many other people thought the same. Which sets off another wave of crying and self-obsessing.
Again, it’s worse when you are NOT pregnant and someone asked the same. So, stay away from that question 😉Â
This is how my body changed for my little one. My tummy doesn’t have stretch marks as I’ve always used Vitamin E cream (even before pregnancy) so that helps. Plus, my trusty El Marino collagen drink helps tons!
All I have are the reddish veins at the back of my legs and the blackish-reddish veins at my waistline where my pants have either dug into my waist or cut off the circulation (hurhur)
 I self-take my tummy shots so you can see that it’s getting even more difficult to fit my tum2 in the frame.
All the expansion to have our miracle growing inside 🙂
