Milk Bath Photoshoot at 34 weeks Pregnant

This photoshoot made me feel gorgeous at a time when I needed it. Despite being massive, I feel useless and weak. I have never felt more reliant on my husband and the people around me. It was easy to spiral into low self confidence due to just my lack of productivity.

Processing the photos reminded me that I am a beautiful fertile goddess. I remembered how lucky I am that, despite the discomfort, my pregnancy has been very low drama. We spent quite a long while trying to get pregnant, but despite this, we successful before having to visit fertility specialists or needing medical intervention. I have been feeling tired, but not so nauseous that I felt like I couldn’t do my job or go to work. I felt mind bending weakness in my first trimester, but not once did I vomit from nausea. I have been lucky. I am having an easier pregnancy than some women a decade younger than me. It was so valuable being able to take a step back and appreciate how special this time in my life is.
