VENT

Does anyone else have days when you just feel like crying for an hour because you feel like a cow? I promise- that is EXACTLY what I feel like. All the time now. I dont feel comfortable going out even anymore because I am not only tote-ing a big tummy but my legs, arms, feet, hands and even face are all swollen so I just am terrified I am going to be like this forever and having the baby will do nothing for it I'm just stuck being huge forever... I HATE THIS! I kind of want to hurry to labor just to see if I ever go back to normal, but then again i want to put it off because I am terrified I am stuck like this forever.... boo.

I have days like these! I look at my arms or my butt and want to cry! I am ok with my belly growing, but good grief, seeing everything else turn to crap is hard to deal with! I'm scared about post pregnancy body, but I'm going to work hard to get the weight off as quick as I can (in a healthy way).

Ditto this.  It is hard to watch my body grow when I worked so hard the last 6 years to lose weight.  I'm still 20 pounds below my maximum weight I was then, but it is scary having to start this battle all over again.  I just keep telling myself that every work out is good for me AND the baby and will help my stamina to work out with the baby after he's born so I can get back to a slimmer figure (though I'm scared I may never wear my favorite shorts and capris again if my hips spread too far) and be a hott mama!

Yes...I hate being naked in front of DH because I feel so gross....my butt has never had celulite and all the sudden it does and it sucks....I try so hard not to be a baby about it but i can't help it....so yes I know how you feel

I'm just terrified that I will look like this forever!

YES YES YES! I feel this way everyday, too. I never thought I would care what I looked like while pregnant, after all, we are all pregnant, but when it's me- it's just not the same! I am scared of what will remain after baby is here, too! UGH!

Yes, I feel so utterly and completely unattractive right now. And it doesn't help that maternity clothes are either ugly or freakishly expensive.
