Sarah Herron Shares How Pregnancy Has Impacted Her Body Image
All about self-love!
Bachelor Nation first met Sarah Herron on Season 17 of “The Bachelor,” and she returned to our screens for Seasons 1 and 3 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Since her time on the Bachelor Nation shows, Sarah has been extremely open with fans about important topics like fertility, egg freezing, limb differences, and mental health.
And throughout the past couple years, Sarah has been particularly open about her and fiancé Dylan’s egg freezing, fertilization, and embryo transfer process.
Then in September, after many high highs and low lows of the IVF process, Sarah revealed that she’s finally pregnant with a baby boy!

Now, Sarah has been keeping Bachelor Nation fans updated with her pregnancy journey on social media.
Most recently, Sarah answered fan questions about all things pregnancy and opened up about her experience with her body changing.
One person asked, “How has your pregnancy impacted your body image? I’m nervous about this.”
Sarah said, “Some days are easy and some days are hard. I will say pregnancy has definitely changed my relationship with food in a positive way. But catching my changing body in the reflection of a window is still hard some days. Some days I think it’s cute, some days I feel overwhelmed.”

She continued on, saying, “Everyone assures me that this ‘showing/not showing’ stage is the hardest and that once I’m actually noticeably pregnant it gets easier. I think it’s critical that you have self soothing tactics and a support team if you struggle with body image.”
Great advice!
Sarah also shared an update on how she’s feeling now that she’s starting her second trimester.
She said, “I’m starting my second trimester feeling great! My morning sickness is gone, I’m still very sleepy every afternoon, I feel like I’ve eaten Thanksgiving dinner after every meal, but then I get starving an hour later. Overall though, I feel 100%!”
We’re so glad to hear that Sarah is feeling great and thriving in her second trimester! We can’t wait to continue to follow along on her pregnancy journey!
