This is a weekly column that I run on the blog, The Belly Snatcher, to show you how the belly changes throughout your pregnancy, how it affects you and your body, and how you can change your body to better meet your needs and wants.
As a woman with a belly, I know that it’s important to keep it under control. But as a woman over 40, I also know that my belly fat isn’t a problem for me any longer, and it’s time I put my belly fat on the table for other people to see. But I’m not just saying that because it’s fashionable.
My belly is now a problem, and I do apologize for getting all mushy here. I’m not trying to be a pain in the ass here, but this is the world I live in, and I’ve come to the point where I am just not going to get any more drama in my life.
Its time we shed the stigma of overweight pregnant women and realize that being overweight doesn’t mean that you are a fat person. All women and girls are overweight, and many of us feel the same way about our stomachs. It’s time that we take a good look at ourselves and realize that the only fat people out there are the fatphobic.
I think it is about time women and girls stopped having to prove to society that we love being fat. We can all agree that being fat is not cool, and that being fat pregnant is not cool. Women and girls who have been pregnant with a baby for longer than a year should be allowed to tell you what that feels like. It should not be a shameful secret, and it should not be the hardest thing in the world to deal with.
Well, that’s an interesting point. It may be hard to believe, but most women are not pregnant for longer than a year. So it’s not like we need to keep our pregnancy weight a secret for much longer. And some of the women we have met are really happy with the pregnancy, but not everyone is that lucky. We hope that will change.
A woman who is overweight but not pregnant may find it harder. She has to watch her diet, take care of her body, and find activities that make her feel good about herself. She may find it hard to find things to do because of her size. But in time, with enough help, she can find activities that help her feel confident and sexy again.
The bigger the baby, the bigger the mother must be. And we are not talking about the size of the mother, we are talking about the size of the baby. A big baby may be a lot of work. But it’s also a lot of fun. As long as you’re being careful not to put too much pressure on yourself, you can find things to do that are both fun and healthy.
We already know that pregnant women are at risk for eating disorders and body image issues. It is important that they are doing something that feels good—even if it is not the perfect thing for the size of their bodies. A great way to deal with this is to do something that helps your body feel as good as it possibly can. This is especially true for pregnant women who are too large to fit into swimsuits.
