I’ve been somewhat overwhelmed by the number of articles that I have found online about pregnancy and body image. I find myself turned off to these articles when I see them because most of them have messaging like, “don’t worry your body will return to normal” or “it’s okay to eat more now that you are pregnant”. I get it, there is a lot of pressure out there for women to stay skinny and the pregnant body is far from that. But this kind of messaging creates the image that a pregnant body is not a sexy body.

Instead, I have taken advantage of this job perk, shoving them in my closet, some still unopened and never used.
