Your body
Added 2024-06-29 20:13:55 +0000 UTCDon’t know if anyone else can relate but my entire pregnancy any time I’ve been in a situation where swimwear was needed I have defaulted to a costume. It’s weird I just felt like I needed to or should be covering the bump. But the other day when I packed for our weekend away I was like.
What am I doing? I love my bump, I appreciate my bump, my boys in there giving me the bump. Why should/would I cover it up? Is it maybe a social normal I’ve subconsciously taken on?
I don’t want that. And you know what, I was genuinely nervous before doing it in public. And I had even planned to bring my costume ‘incase’ but I forgot to pack it and I gave myself no choice. I’m so glad I forgot it.
You might think but we’ve seen your bump loads on here, but filming at home with no one in the room and posting alone, versus being out in public with real people. It’s just different, more daunting. More feedback via eye contact, body language or words in real life changes how you feel loads.
I do however, have great news. ITS ABSOLUTELY FINE. It’s just another body. Most people care way too much about their own to be judging yours and if they are judging you then what does that say? A whole lot about them and very little about you or your body.
I saw some other pregnant ladies there and they were all in one pieces so if anything I hope it maybe gave them the thought to go for it too. It felt liberating and so comfortable to not have bump restricted. 🤍
