Dealing with shifts in body composition.

So I take this as kind of like pregnancy body image and how your body composition is changing.

How are you dealing with that?

That's funny.

That's my second question for you. No way.

That was just like a really popular one because I think, yeah, it's something that I had thought

about more pre-pregnancy, to be honest.

Like, what is my mindset going to be towards my changing body during pregnancy. And I can honestly say, like,

now that I'm in it, I don't know, it just feels all of the, all of the changes feel so

necessary and normal and like I don't have high anxiety about it. It's been a lower anxiety

season of my life than I had ever anticipated.

I wonder if that's like the hormones a little bit. I know. The hormones are like the joy,

just like the gratitude for being pregnant. But there was a lot of work I did pre-pregnancy to make sure

that focusing on like like, thinness during pregnancy wasn't

going to be top of mind.

Yes.
