Anyone else felt this way?

Question

Since I've started gaining weight during pregnancy I've been feeling less and less attractive. I don't know what to do anymore. Fixing my self up doesn't work anymore. There's nothing make up or cute clothes that makes me feel better about myself... Is it just me or does any other moms felt the same way?

Answer

My sister and I both struggled with this. Plus being pregnant in summer, bleh. We'd go to the pool or beach with friends and the girls were so thin and they all got to drink and relax. Meanwhile I look like a sweating cellulite ridden pig. And nothing fixes it! It's a pretty frustrating and terrible feeling!
It got better for a couple weeks in the 3rd trimester, Felt pride in my body and had that glow....but now that I'm due I just look like a puffy whale. I wanna stay covered and indoors.
You're not alone.

Answer

I'm 26 weeks and I feel like since I've gained a little bit of weight my face has rounded out and even with make up I don't feel pretty anymore and I for sure have a baby belly but I just hate the way clothes look on me now. I feel like nothing fits in the right places and it's just a disaster. I want him to keep cookin in there as long as possible but man will I be happy when I can have my body back and feel pretty again.

Answer

I was just talking about this today. I was putting on clothes for a friends Halloween birthday party and I just wanted to crawl back into bed and stay there. I think part of its hormoneS, and partly because I don't have the bump yet but just look like I've gained a bunch of weight. Uncomfortable and awkward phase of pregnancy I guess. So it's by just you! I'm sure you're still lovely. We're just on this lovely hormonal roller coaster and tough phase right now.
