Getting used to being pregnant
I'm writing this in hopes to see that I'm not alone & to get my feelings out.
I'm 22 weeks pregnant with my first :-) a baby girl. I'm happy and excited and wouldn't change a thing. It just seems this past week or so I feel down. I don't feel like me, and I don't look the same.
I know my body is changing and is going to continue to do so and as I said I'm fine with this anything that brings me a happy and healthy baby is great.
I was never really in shape or the "perfect size" not a beauty queen but sometimes when I'm getting ready, or when I'm going to the rest room, or just looking in the mirror I look and ask myself "do I look as odd as I see myself?." "How different do I look now?. How different will I look later"
"Do I look pregnant or stupid". "Do I smell weird?. Am I breathing too loud, walking too slow or taking too long to pee????."
The past couple of days I've been super insecure, from my looks to even just talking to people, I feel like the ones close to me aren't listening as much which makes me feel like I'm complaining too much. My face has not stopped breaking out yet. I've never had this many pimples.
My hair is super curly and the other day I decided to straighten it (for the first time in about 3 years) and it does not look at all how I imagined.
Am I going to feel this way the entire pregnancy?. Will it get worse. I want to feel pretty, not just because I'm pregnant but because I am pretty. I want to get dressed in my work clothes and feel like I look good not like my clothes are too tight or too small.
I don't want to sound negative or like I hate pregnancy. I don't at all. I don't know how to get used to all these feelings and emotions
