Pregnancy can be a challenging journey, especially when your job involves appearing on camera every day. No thanks to that stress!
Meet Sarah Jenkins, a meteorologist from CBS 5 in Philadelphia, who has had enough of viewers feeling entitled to comment on her changing body due to pregnancy. This week, she took to her Facebook page to confront the negativity, and her post quickly gained traction for its empowering message.
Standing Strong Against Criticism
First off, let’s just say she looks fabulous! Why is it that some people feel the need to critique someone else’s body? One comment read, “Sticking your pregnant abdomen out like that is disgusting.” Seriously? You can’t just hide a pregnancy, FYI.
Pregnancy brings a whirlwind of changes—hormonal shifts, weight gain, cravings, and mood swings. Add a sprinkle of unsolicited criticism, and it’s no wonder Sarah felt inspired to share her thoughts:
“Honestly, I couldn’t care less how ‘awful’ or ‘inappropriate’ anyone thinks I look. I would gladly gain 50 pounds and endure sleepless nights if it means giving birth to two healthy baby girls. It’s not just about how I look; it’s about giving these little ones the best start possible. So yes, my belly that some say ‘looks like it’s about to burst’ is going to keep growing in the coming weeks. Thank you very much!”
At this stage in her pregnancy, Sarah is focused on the well-being of her babies, not on the opinions of random critics. It’s outrageous that anyone would feel it’s acceptable to insult her just because they can.
A Powerful Reminder
There is absolutely nothing disgraceful about a pregnant body. Sarah makes a poignant reminder, “For those who find it ‘disgusting,’ remember that a woman went through the same journey to bring YOU into this world.” Amen to that!
