Pregnancy weight gain

I’ve been feeling very down about myself pretty much since the second trimester of this pregnancy due to how much weight I’ve gained. I’m 5’2” and pre pregnancy I weighed just about 120lbs. And now I am nearing 170lbs. So many people have told me this weight gain is normal or happened to them... but I just feel so sick at the sight of myself in the mirror and I’ve never felt this way about myself before. I’m too embarrassed to wear shorts or a dress in public. So at my last appointment I brought it up to my midwife that I was upset with my weight gain and she told me to cut my meal portions in half. Which sounds like a great idea, if I wasn’t hungry all of the time.

Is anyone else feeling this way? I’m currently 30weeks +5.

*** Thank you everyone for the uplifting words and comments. I appreciate you all sharing your personal stories as well. I just have to remember how worth it all of this weight gain is going to be when I finally get to see our little girl.
