@cards10 this is me now! Becuse I've felt so awful ive been limited to mostly bland carbs. I can keep pancakes down (mostly) and I still want them so I'm running with it! Trying to sneak some fruit and avocado in there to get some fiber and good stuff while in this terrible trimester!
@ngolimento Thanks for the tip! My first pregnancy was during the Summer, but I live in a cold place and wasn't sure the best way to deal with coat needs during pregnancy.
Is anyone else having body image issues? I have no issue with gaining in my middle, but I'm so bloated and my face is rounding and I hate it. I lost 65 lbs a year after having DD and while I definitely gained some of it back last year, this pregnancy is rounding out my face and I'm having a hard time dealing with it.

@saisongbird I am. After DS, I ended up losing 40 lbs and was so happy. Then, in 2015 I lost my job, was very depressed, and gained a lot back. Actually, now I'm a couple lbs heavier than when I first got pregnant with DS. I gained 7 lbs in less than a month after I found out I was pregnant. I was so mad. I feel so uncomfortable.
I gain everywhere, so my face is round, my boobs feel huge, my arms don't match my body, too big, and my legs are big. I have a short, wider stature than most girls anyway, but the weight makes it worse. I'm most self conscious about my arms. I looked so big and gross in the hospital pictures with him (I had swelling on top of fat). I didn't want it to be that way this time, but I keep thinking about how I'm gonna look and not want anyone to see me in pictures.
@saisongbird I swear I can feel my face getting fatter... I know part of it is my diet, but yeah, my face always gains weight super fast... I think the whole changing body thing is just super hard... i try really hard to not jump on negative self talk
My random is I was taking my dog for a walk and we ran into a woman walking with a stroller and her cat, who was off a leash. Then, a car drove by, and the lady pointed to the cat to get over to the side of the road, and it did!! And sat there till the car drove by! I'm kind of jealous her cat is so well behaved lol... my dog on the other hand was choking himself out because he wanted to chase the cat...
Looking to add a few new maternity pieces and thinking that maternity and bodycon together shouldn't be a thing. Or maybe I'm just bitter because I don't have the ass to pull it off? IDK, sexy preggo gear just seems weird to me.

I bought a couple dresses like this, not sure if they're going to work out or not, definitely not until I have a definite bump, right now I just look on the frumpy side.
That's awesome, @ekendall09! I feel weird during pregnancy - like it somehow makes me "other" - but i think it's great if you feel sexy during pregnancy.

@lindsye I don't know if i'd go so far to say anything in preg makes me feel sexy. I got them thinking they'd be comfortable....it could go really wrong!
