So sorry for your loss, I can’t even begin to imagine the pain you’ve gone through and begin young still makes it even more difficult. I hope you find some closure so you can heal.

I’m sorry about the loss of your child
God bless you. I wish I could give you a magic pill and then you would love your body…but it takes time. Begin by believing your boyfriend! they dont lie to you when they say you look hot! Hope you get to enjoy your new baby longer and that he or she become a happy person in the future!

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your little one.
That’s the worst thing any woman could ever go through.

Your baby that passed gave you those stretch marks…those are wonderful little reminders! My son passed away at 19 months…I feel the only physical proof I have that I had him are my marks (of course I have pictures, videos, and memories…but I could lose all of that someday if I develop alzheimer’s) so I cherish them!
Best of luck on the remainder of your pregnancy. You are a beautiful mother of 2

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you. I struggle every day with my body image. The best advice I can give you is to honestly try to love yourself. I know that sounds stupid but trust me, if you can look past how you feel about your body, and just know that your man loves you for you, then you will find true happiness. Enjoy your pregnancy, and look forward to meeting your new little one!

Congratulations on your baby to be. Bodies are funny things; never really happy with them. However, in this case, your body is providing your with another beautiful child to love and guide through life. This is truly awesome. Don’t worry about the weight right now, you can address it later if you want to. Have a great pregnancy and wish you the best.

So sorry to hear about your loss! Don’t worry about the weight, a lot of it is due to hormones and very different for different women how you gain/lose baby weight.
Enjoy your pregnancy and love your beautiful body for making a precious baby, if nothing else. You are beautiful. You are strong. You are a mother. Nothing will ever change that. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. You are awesome! Hugs and strenght to you!
