Just be there and talk to her. A lot of it is mental and unfortunately there’s not a whole lot you can do about that. Sometimes it’s hard to believe you look good if you don’t think you do even if others are saying it. I personally have never been through a pregnancy but it’s a rough time and having someone be there is really nice

I think the fact that shit didn’t bounce back like she did with our first son is messing her up.

That would make sense. The same thing happened to my mom after she had my brother. She still calls herself “fat” despite being incredibly healthy. Unfortunately bodies act differently with every pregnancy. I think it’s great that you’re trying to be there for her though

I tell her she’s beautiful every day and she is. Would it be rude if I signed us up for the gym? Lol I don’t want her to think I’m agreeing with her. I’m not exactly in the best shape of my life either so I want to go to the gym lol
