B Belly Confessions

It's a fact that, as with anything body related, pregnancy will be different for every woman. However, I never considered this fact would include my baby bump. I thought that when the time came I'd have a round symmetrical tummy like we've all seen*. Once getting pregnant it didn't take me long to realize that a lot determines the shape of your baby bump including baby's position, your body type, position of the placenta etc. Since I'm a curvy girl a couple of things happened: 1) It took longer than I expected to "look" pregnant 2) Even when there's no denying I have a bun in the oven I have what is affectionately called a "B" belly.

Mom Guilt

It feels like a pit in my stomach. The dreaded Mom Guilt. You do your best to provide for your child but sometimes it just doesn't feel like enough. I'm at a crossroads because I don't want to stop breastfeeding my baby. However, after a trip to the Emergency Room this week, my doctors are recommending medications that are not breastfeeding-safe.
