1st Trimester

Anyone else feel ugly?

I was hit with horrble morning (all day) sickness this week along with pimples and my breasts are huge and I have a huge bloated belly.  I feel so ugly and self conscious out in public.  Obviously no one knows I am pregnant so everyone is probably assuming I am just packing on the pounds.  Ugh I feel so yuck.

Re: Anyone else feel ugly?

  • YES.  I have acne, I can't tan, I can't eat healthy (only starchy foods & carbs  now due to MS) so I feel huuuge.  Gross I can't wait till I get that "glow" that everyone talks about.

  • kind of. I've lost weight since I found out (just by feeling sick and not craving junk) but I still feel like I have this giant spare tire starting. ugh.

  • Yes, the carbs!  I used to eat so healthy before BFP (salads, fruit, fish and yogurt) and now all I want is bagels with cream cheese, steak and pizza.

  • I am feeling bigger lately, but what I am most self conscious about my acne. My face goes from bad to ok, bad to okay. I miss having no pimples! But almost more embarrassing is my acne on my chest. Sad
  • Does anyone know if it's okay to use Bare Minerals face wash and moisturizer during pregnancy?
  • VERY! I feel like a cow due to bloating and my skin has been really broken out lately too... :(

  • It makes me feel good to know I'm not the only one going through it!! And I swear, as soon as I feel like I don't look "fat" in the morning, I get dressed, and my image is ruined! Like, it won't all fit in my clothes anymore! lol. And of course, I have to look in the mirror from a distance, because up close, I can see every single pimple there is. I look like a rice crispy treat in the face!! haha

    When does the fat turn into baby bump and the complexion to go back to normal????

  • Some days I feel so bloated and gross... especially the days that I fall off the healthy eating wagon and od on carbs.  I was a real low carb girl before pregnancy, but now I just have days where carbs are all I want to eat -- and then I inevitable feel disgusting and even more bloated. :-(
