I just don't feel like going out anymore. :(

So now I am getting to the point where I just feel oversized and ridiculous.  I am so tired of people being shocked and awed at the idea that I still have 8 weeks to go.  I know how much weight I have gained, and I know how big I look.  So now, instead of getting excited over showing off my bump, I am just sefl conscious that I am "too big" and I want to minimize it.  It feels like every angle of me looks insane. Not too mention that I am constantly in pain and now am retaining water like the Hoover dam. Hubby is great though, he keeps saying, "You're beautiful and I want to show you off."  I am lucky there.   Okay, sigh, just had to get that off my chest.  Anyone else ever feel like this?  Maybe I am just extra hormonal today.

    Some days I feel like a fat cow and just want to put on my PJ's, sit in the house, and eat ice cream.  Pregnancy is a beautiful thing though and everyone seems to love a pregnant woman.

    I think all pregnant women feel like this at some point sweetie. I'm sure you DO look absolutely gorgeous, and that your H is happy to be able to parade you around. That being said, if you don't feel like going out, don't. You don't need to push your body to do something it doesn't feel good doing.

    But if you feel okay physically, go out, show off... And when those people are shocked and awed, take it as a compliment. Your body is doing something amazing.

    I am right where you are, except now I really just don't go anywhere!!  I have a big baby and a big bump so I also got the, "wow, you still have 8 weeks to go" comments back then.  I am so relieved I can tell people 2 weeks now!!!  They don't look at me like I have 2 heads.  Hang in there and try to get out and about as much as you can now because it doesn't get any easier the further along you get.

    I think it's a overly-hormonal day, I feel the same way.

    Hang in there! I know you don't want to hear this, but it will only get worse so try and enjoy your comparatively small size when you can. Big Smile I totally blew up between 33-35 weeks.
