Self-Confidence Issues?

Question

I was just wondering if anyone else is struggling with how they look and feel?
I know that I'm growing a tiny human and nothing else really matters...but I feel so hideous.
my hair is frizzy and really dead...I feel like I've gained more weight than I wanted to... especially in my face...
I know it's all kind of trivial but I just want to know I'm not alone. what do you ladies to to help these feelings?

Answer

Yep I feel shitty about my big belly and my bigger boobs

Answer

Me! I feel like a whale and look like I haven't slept in months! But it's all part of the miracle, right? Haha

So to me I feel big and fat. I can see my baby bump and the stretch marks, however I’m still in my pre pregnancy clothes. But to everyone else they can’t even tell I’m pregnant. 🤦🏼‍♀️ my husband was getting a haircut today and was having small talk with the hairdresser. She was also pregnant and my husband said yea my wife is 7 months pregnant, she whipped around so fast and was like “YOUR PREGNANT??!”. I just have to keep telling myself that I am my worst critic and everyone else sees me differently than I see myself. Somehow I was graced with a gene where I don’t show very much, while my sisters and mom were pretty big by this point already. Getting stretch marks and seeing yourself a certain size you’ve never been before is emotional and can be hard to overcome. Ya just gotta remind yourself when your feeling down that the only one who sees you the way you see your self is you. No one sees you as fat, ugly, frizzy, gross, etc. They see you something beautiful and magical.

I'm right there with you! I was really small with my first and had the glow, I think I assumed that this pregnancy would be the same. How wrong I was! I'm still not huge in the belly, but the puffy cheeks and rings under my eyes make me want to hibernate for the next 3mths

Answer

I feel you girl! I have struggled with body image and eating disorders off and on for a long time. I know I’m growing a baby and I should just embrace it but it’s hard. All I see is the flaws and the struggle is off and on. It probably does not help that my hormones effect my mood and my body issues. I try to be thankful for the life I’m growing inside of me and embrace it.
