Love your spotty, greasy, pregnant body!

Up until 20 weeks I had the best pregnancy. From not really knowing what to expect and having history of being quite a sickly person anyway I presumed I was destined to have many mornings spent with my head in the toilet or in bed having run out of steam, however, much to my surprise, that was not the case. I had a very healthy start to my pregnancy. The best part without a doubt, was able to eat WHAT I wanted, WHEN and WHERE I wanted (even a roast dinner for bed for breakfast) no-one would dare to say anything to a pregnant lady who had barely even opened her eyes.

One thing I learnt from pregnancy is to embrace it! Embrace the mum tum that starts to appear and make you look like a a hippo bobbing on the swamp. Embrace the gums bleeding, hair falling out, spotty skin and big bags under your eyes, you know why? Your body is doing something amazing. Growing a tiny human means that there isn’t a lot of goodness left for you. The hormones, the greasy hair and tight clothes are all signs of your body making changes to give your baby the best it possibly can. Your body is incredible for even beginning a journey into pregnancy, within the first few days your body has gone through so many changes and we don’t even know it! Finally, listen to your body and if you have cravings that wont go away or need to nap 3 times a day, you do it, it is probably your body telling you what it needs!
