Almost 75 percent of pregnant women experience anxiety when it comes to their body image. And it has a detrimental impact on their self-love, confidence, and mental state. However, the fact is—you have miraculously given birth to a new life, even though the changes still remain significant. Acceptance and improvement play an important part here. Having a positive mindset will not only help you feel more positive about yourself but also benefit your baby!
In this article:
Read below to explore some of the most effective tips that will help you maintain a positive body image during pregnancy and beyond.
Flaunt Your Pregnancy Glow
While pregnancy comes with weight gain, it also brings in ‘that’ pregnancy glow. The pregnancy hormones let you have what you’ve been wanting all your life. So, it’s time to flaunt your glowy skin and shimmery hair rather than focusing on body insecurities. Of course, every woman loves getting compliments on her glowing skin.
If you want something more, you can even pamper yourself with some luxury skin care products since you probably deserve it.
A Bumpie Album Is What You Need
Every woman loves the way her body is progressing when it comes to bringing a new life. And nothing could be a better reminder than photos and videos that will help you appreciate your body changes, strengths, and capabilities during your pregnancy journey.
Take time to capture your pregnancy journey with daily bumpy selfies to flaunt your beautiful belly bump.
Your Maternity Wardrobe Is Waiting
Pregnancy may often result in women not being able to wear their favourite clothes. So, if your clothes don’t fit you anymore, switch your regular wardrobe into a maternity wardrobe. It is also said that wearing clothes that fit you perfectly significantly helps boost confidence. And pregnancy doesn’t restrict you from being stylish. Does it?
You may include some stretchy pairs of jeans, flowy dresses, or baggy fits to make you as fabulous a mom as you are.
Accept And Laugh Out The Body Changes
The role of humour in swapping away negative emotions and low self-esteem from your mind is significant. Did you know that just by laughing, you can make half of your problems fade away? So whether you’re concerned about those extra food cravings or the new waddles, you may only need to laugh it out.
You can even post those precious moments of baby body days on your Instagram and let your friends follow this journey of progression with lots of love and a little laugh.
Don’t Miss Those Non-Scale Wins
Your body’s strength has nothing to do with your weight gain. Even if you tried a healthy recipe today, celebrate each and every small win of yours. This approach will help you shift your focus from your body changes to your positive achievements. You might even write a journal or simply click on some pictures to recall these precious moments in the future.
