I’m 17 weeks pregnant and having a really hard time adjusting to how my body has changed. I lost about 8 pounds in the first trimester and kept it off until 12ish weeks just because of morning sickness and have now basically gotten back to my pre pregnancy weight in 5 weeks. I know that gaining weight is important and not a bad thing in pregnancy but seeing what looks like an extra 20 pounds on my frame is surprisingly difficult. I’m trying to be mindful of how much I’m eating and continue working out but I’m at such an awkward stage where I don’t look pregnant at all and just feel fugly🫠. I’m so excited to have a big bump just kinda wish I could skip to that cute big bump. Any advice on accepting changes would be greatly appreciated
(Context: I’m 5’5 116lbs this morning, 108lbs during first trimester)

When President Oaks asked us to fast July 5th I really wanted to participate but I’m pregnant and will be about 24 weeks when the fast happens. I’m not sure if I should try to fast from food or fast from something else. I have always struggled with fasting, past eating disorders have made it difficult to feel the spirit while fasting and also complete a fast however, I feel like participating in this fast is important and would like to learn to love fasting😁

I’m a ftm due in October and I’m curious if nursing pillows are really necessary? To me it just seems awkward and uncomfortable and like an extra thing that just takes up space. Did you use a specific nursing pillow when nursing, if so how long did you use it for and did you use it for anything other than nursing?
