PSA: this is a complaining post, if you don't want to "hear" me whine don't enter!

I feel like an absolute fat cow and incredibly frumpy, my face had gotten fatter, my hips have spread, my ass is fat my thighs are fat and somehow it seems I have developed love handles overnight. I hate maternity clothes and can never find anything cute. I miss wearing heels with a pointy toe, I miss wearing my sexy jeans, I miss my nice skin (my face looks like a pizza) and my agreeable hair (I have curly hair but the frizz has been out of control since getting pregnant).

I seriously can not wait to have this baby and start dieting and getting my body back to where it used to be.

    I TOTALLY had this happen to me at right around 28 weeks as well. I just got fed up with all of it, getting huge, not being able to move, not being able to sleep, having to feel guilty about every ounce of sugar I put in my mouth because I was gaining too much weight...all of it! I was so fed up.

    I've adjusted a little, but it is still frustrating to feel so slow. We're on the home stretch now though! We can do it! We're almost there!

    P.S. I have a couple pairs of pointy shoes that I have not given up yet, although the ones I wore out to dinner with DH on Friday made my ankels really swell up for the first time this whole pregnancy. Oops!

    You took the words right out of my mouth.  Yes, I know it will be worth it but let's do this already :)  I remember having dinner with my friend when she was 37 weeks and she said, "I have never been so ready to diet."  I totally get it!

    Thanks so much ladies! It is nice to know that not everyone LOVES this pregnancy gig. I am looking forward to the end result all of this stuff inbetween is a means to an end, getting our baby!

    I mean yes, I love love feeling him kick, but I will love it even more when I can SEE him!

    And I CAN'T WAIT to diet! I never thought I would feel that way but I completely do!

    I'm starting to feel this way too, although my super nice friends try to reassure me that my face is not getting fat (yeah right).  I just bought a cute pair of flat pointy toe shoes this weekend to make me feel better, they were at nine west.

    Amen.  I feel the exact same way.  9 more weeks of this nonsense.

    I have been happy with my pg body for most of my pregnancy, but the last week or two I have started to just feel GIGANTIC.  I am swollen, which does not help at all.  My legs are thicker, my arms are thicker - I looked in a mirror and my back looks big to me!  Ugh.  The thought of all the weight I have to lose does make me want to start dieting now.  Only a few more weeks!

    I can totally relate to the clothing frustration. I hate going shopping now. Nothing fits, but I can't stand going shopping for maternity clothes.

    I feel your pain! I have weight gain in my back which is driving me nuts. I have continued to excercise and eat as healthy as I can with all these cravings yet you'd never know by looking at me. I have a good friend who amazingly looks like she didn't gain an ounce during her pregnancy and 1 month afterwards she actually looks better than she did before pregnancy so I tend to compare myself to her a lot, which is just a horrible idea, always makes me feel like crap.

    I, too have a friend like this and I also compare myself to her.
