I've gained some weight over the past few months, which I guess could be normal, only now I'm past the "I can sort of fit into this size jeans" to actually buying the next size up. I feel like my body shouldn't be doing this to me, I'm nice and I feed it and we get exercise (apparently not enough). Thanks for posting this, it makes me feel much better. :)Eveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607254401702194033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12027160.post-29139285626446951302007-08-11T12:27:00.000-04:002007-08-11T12:27:00.000-04:00But remember, and to paraphrase that Mastercard co...But remember, and to paraphrase that Mastercard commercial...<BR/>Pregnancy: not much fun.<BR/>Body changes during pregnancy: not fun at all.<BR/>Tiny human resulting from pregnancy: priceless.Harmonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464203611561630430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12027160.post-17140982446681931922007-08-10T20:47:00.000-04:002007-08-10T20:47:00.000-04:00Excellent post Megan.

And size is such a weirdly critical perceptual thing for women, so it really messes with our heads when our body numbers inexplicably change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12027160.post-44452030236072040992007-08-10T18:54:00.000-04:002007-08-10T18:54:00.000-04:00Jo: I haven't noticed!

It's not that I think I look bad. My body is my body and some days I like it, some days I don't. What's pissing me off is how can I be 32 years old and not know my body? I find that beyond frustrating.Asteroidea Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260523018938986888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12027160.post-729493349886437382007-08-10T18:16:00.000-04:002007-08-10T18:16:00.000-04:00I don't think you have anything to worry about, I ...I don't think you have anything to worry about, I saw you biking down Bank Street today and you looked as smashing as always.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12027160.post-73039503389897024242007-08-10T14:22:00.000-04:002007-08-10T14:22:00.000-04:00I, for one, think this post would have been much c...I, for one, think this post would have been much clearer were it illustrated with photos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12027160.post-9899138396655970422007-08-10T13:52:00.000-04:002007-08-10T13:52:00.000-04:00Don't know if you've ever been pregnant, but talk ...Don't know if you've ever been pregnant, but talk about being shocked by bodily changes. You can't believe what's going on. Your breasts become two canteloupes perched on a watermelon. HUGE canteloupes on a BIG melon. And then there are all the other changes besides. I won't even go into breast-feeding.
