I Hate My Pregnancy Body.
I am 33 weeks pregnant this week and my shower is two weeks from today. I still haven't found anything to wear. I keep seeing photos of women rocking their pregnancy bodies and looking awesome in the dresses/outfits that they've chosen. I don't have much money, we struggle living paycheck to paycheck and don't have much extra at all. But today I decided to take myself out to look for something for my shower for the 3rd time. I went to four different shops and tried on so many skirts and dresses. I have a white shirt I wanted to pair with a skirt originally for the shower, so I wore that. But when I looked at myself in the mirror you can see every single deep dark stretch mark this pregnancy has given to me (it hasn't been kind to me...)
I was never a small woman to begin with. I'm not "huge" but I have a higher bmi and have always been self conscious of my body. I'm also short (4'11") so finding a dress or skirt that fits is impossible. I can't wear something long (because duh, I'm short) and I can't wear something short because my belly takes up all the space and my vagina hangs out 😒
On top of it, my self esteem took a hit the other night when we met up with a friend for his birthday. He introduced me to a family member of his and said I was pregnant wth my first baby. The family member looked at me and said "oh... I never would have guessed." Ok great so I just look like a fat ass.
I'm sorry to rant at you guys. Im just so bummed out and discouraged. I want to look wonderful and glowing at my shower but pregnancy hasn't been kind to me and I look horrible in everything that I wear. I gave up after the 4th store and sat in the car and cried and cried and cried. I guess I'll just wear jeans and a normal shirt. I only have 5 that look ok on me at this point and I can't afford to spend more money on clothes.
