I went to yoga class yesterday and this time, there were more students than the last time I went. Some of these women were first timers (to the class) and so the instructor had to ask if anybody had any questions. So this lady next to me raised her hand. She’s a skinny one. Her tummy looked like it was just a little bigger than mine and I’m only 14 wks. So she said “is it ok to still do the poses because he (referring to her baby) shifted head first already, and my doctor said that he could feel his head ready to come out”. I quickly looked around the room to see if anybody else was having the same reaction as me. I was thinking, ‘girl, you probably should be on bed rest!’. So the instructor asked, how far along are you? And she said ” I’m 35 weeks”. And everyone’s jaws dropped. She looked so tiny ! But she looked healthy, I could tell that she was also very active because her arms are toned. But when she had her back on me, I wouldn’t have been to able to tell that she was preggo. Just looking at her waistline made me jealous and worried. She still has hers, while I’ve already lost mine a few weeks ago! and i’m afraid I will not be able to get it back :( *sigh.
(she’s not a bitch, btw)
