Body Image in Pregnancy: Making Peace With a Changing Shape

Your body is doing something extraordinary, and it may not feel like it. As your bump grows, the mirror can start to feel like an unfamiliar place. This book is a calm, practical companion for every expectant parent who has felt the tug between gratitude for a growing baby and grief, frustration, or plain confusion about a changing shape. Inside, you'll find trimester-by-trimester knowledge about what is really happening, honest strategies for silencing the inner critic, and scripts for defusing the comments, comparisons, and social-media noise that surround you. With chapters on movement, clothing, intimacy, and preparing for the postpartum body, this is not about loving every inch of yourself — it's about building a working truce with a body that is doing its job. Written without judgment and with room for complicated feelings, it meets you wherever you are: partnered or alone, anxious or excited, first pregnancy or third.
