Dealing with pregnancy body comparisons

I feel this so much but I’m on the opposite side of it. My SIL is pregnant, due 5 weeks after me and she already has a very big bump. I’m carrying very small and everyone keeps telling me how much my SIL “popped”. It makes me very worried that something is wrong with me or the babies not growing as they should be. Pregnant is exhausting and comparing ourselves is so hard not to do.

I can definitely see how stressful that would be. I think I take that part for granted and just envy the smaller size aspect.

Do not want to make you feel like what you are feeling is not valid. Just remember pretty much every women pregnant or not has insecurities. Im sorry your FIL hurt your feelings, unless you have a tenuous relationship I would try to not think about it, sounds like he was just making conversation and truly no one knows how shell progress. I had a darling bump with my first until 25 weeks and then I looked like a hippopotamus. My stomach was cute, but my legs swelled, my feet swelled, my face broke out. BLAH

Pregnancy does the strangest things to our bodies. Can definitely relate to the breakouts, too. That's my version of a "glow" in pregnancy...
