Your body is not ruined. At the end of all this you will still be the same beautiful, slim woman you were before getting pregnant.
Besides, if you're anything like me you'll be so euphorically happy with your gorgeous little miracle once s/he arrives that all of these worries will seem so trivial and meaningless - completely a thing of the past... If I had to, I'd happily go through all of pregnancy and birth - and all the longer term changes to my body - a gazillion times over and 10 times worse - in order to get what I have now; a perfect, happy family in a warm loving home - there's nothing better.
Chin up, chuck - not long to go now!
