I'm not glowing and I'm fat!

I'm 22w2d and I feel like s***t! My skin is blotchy and I have a ridiculous pimple right on the end of my nose. I get fatter by the second and my face is the size of a  basketball. I can hardly cross my legs anymore and the constipation and gas are unbearable! I am so grateful and excited to be pregnant but how come I can't be one of those glowing, radiant women?

Sorry but I was hoping you girls will understand!

Hmm sucks to be you! Just joking.  I dont' know how many really glow and look not fat.  I'm finally getting a distinct pregnancy roundness that makes me very happy.  I spent a long long time looking big.  I also have the constipation and gas and its driving me nuts... actually ended up with blood in toilet thanks I guess to hemorrhoids.  Glamourous isn't it??  Treat yourself to something nice - like a pedicure or haircut and you'll probaby feel better. I did.

I felt more glowy with DD but this time I'm breaking out horribly, feeling fatter, and having all sorts of issues in the bathroom department. It's not pretty. I totally understand. I'm excited to see my newest baby and I can't wait to be not pregnant.

 Hang in there!

People only tell you that you are glowing when you are pregnant because it is the nice thing to say.  Much better than "wow, even your nose is getting really big".  I bet you look great!   I know last time I loved the 3rd tri the best, felt pretty ugly in the 2nd tri and felt like a troll in the 1st.  This time I am too tired to care most the time so I am wearing my greasy hair and pimply face in style.

This is so how I feel, it's nice to know that I'm not alone. I totally forgot that I hate being pregnant.

I've been told I glow. But I think it's just my normal "cazy glow" not "pregnacy glow"   Only good thing is my hair's growing like nuts. Other than that I feel fat right there with ya.

I feel fatter and nastier this time around too....maybe because I started out this pregnancy heavier...never lost the weight from round one!
