Where is the “Glow”??

I’ve always heard that when you’re pregnant there is a... “glow” about you..

But the bigger my baby grows inside of me, the bigger my belly gets, the less clothes I fit into, the more exhausted I become, I begin to lose a lot of self confidence.

My self esteem has plummeted and my husband has been having to deal with the self deprecating comments.

The:

“I can’t wait to be skinny again”

“I’m sooooo FAT!”

“Do you think I’m still pretty?”

“Please dont look at me”

“I look like a beached whale!”

He is a pretty good sport about it, but I know it really annoys him some times.

Last night, he went to a music festival. I surprised him with the tickets and insisted he went. However, considering the kind of festival it I was I didn’t feel comfortable attending. When I picked him up that night he told me he saw an ex there who attempted to talk to him. He said he ignored her, that he had no interest in entertaining her attempts to engage with him....

BUT THIS MADE EVERYTHING SO MUCH WORSE!

His ex is very pretty, tall, dresses well, does her make up every day, gorgeous long hair, great body..

I feel like a frump.

I love my baby and I’m doing my best to nurture and care for her while she develops inside me, but I can’t help but feel like a troll...

Ladies what this ridiculously long post boils down to is, how do you guys avoid feeling so low all the time? What do you guys do to make yourselves feel pretty? Any suggestions or advice would help..
