Your changing body during pregnancy: why it's beautiful

During pregnancy, your body goes through a huge transformation. From a growing belly to fluctuating hormones and new emotions – everything works together to give your baby the best start.

Some changes you may experience:

• Your blood volume increases by 30-50% to supply your baby with oxygen and nutrients.

• Your skin can change: from a healthy glow to pigment spots or dryness.

• Hormones influence your emotions, but also your hair, nails and energy.

• Your belly grows at your pace – no two pregnancies are the same, and that's completely normal.

Unsure about your pregnant body? Here's how to boost your self-confidence.

Many women experience feelings of insecurity during pregnancy. Fortunately, there are practical ways to feel better about your own body:

• Choose comfortable maternity clothes that make your body shine.

• Listen to your body: rest or move at your own pace.

• Talk about it with your partner, friends or a coach – you are not alone.

• Focus on what your body can do , not just how it looks: it creates new life.

• Relax with meditation, breathing exercises or a gentle pregnancy massage.
