I was so self-conscious and I hated the way I looked. I know it's all for a good reason, but it's was hard to adjust to."I was so grateful to be pregnant, but I was also struggling with the changes to my body. I felt like I've lost control of my body. I was trying to be positive, but it's hard sometimes. Its true what this lady says, pregnancy can truly humble you, but seeing my daughter now it was worth it."Watch the video below:
