Re: Feelin gross

  • You look super cute!!! 

    be thankful that you at least have a 'D' belly and not a 'B' like me. It just looks like an extra fat roll. I wore a size 14 pre-pregnancy ( really a 12, but I put on about 10 pounds two months before due to a MC)

    I feel better after starting back at the gym this week, but yes I agree, I would love to be able to run and feel like I am lose weight, not just gain!!

  • I somehow put on a couple pounds before I got pregnant too which is crazy because I had been doing p90x...I assume it was from building muscle!  After that I lost 8 lbs and I'm finally back to my pre-pregnancy weight.  I'm hoping not to gain a whole lot more than the recommended 10-15 lbs for my size.  Being short is such a pain in the *** and so easy to gain that weight!!!  I wore a size 12 pre-pregnancy too so no worries :)  Before my dh and I started dating 3 years ago I wore a size 22!!!!!  So slowly but surely I'll get back to my desired size 6-8 (I hope!) lol

  • I feel the exact same way (except in the past few days, at least my B belly has finally gone to a D belly). I feel so completely unattractive when I look at myself from the side... so I try not to do it. From the front, though, I think my bump is cute Big Smile

    BTW, you look great!

  • Yep and I totally had a B belly to start.  The thing that makes me feel worse is that I feel like I am not getting to a D belly just the bottom part of the B is just getting bigger. I am ready for baby to move up and out.

  • I feel fat all the time. I like to wear form fitting clothes so people have no doubt Im pregnant not just fat. My fiance' does a wonderful job of making me feel beautiful though.

  • I know how you feel!

    The gross feeling comes and goes.  I feel really good 90% of the time, the other ten I feel really self concious.

    I feel the worst when I'm sitting and my belly moves up and I just put away all the jeans I cannot fit into anymore. That was tough.  I feel huge.  I've told a few people how I feel and only one girl knows what I'm talking about.  She said she felt self concious about the weight gain.  The others made me feel stupid and I shoudl feel beautiful for carrying a new life. And I do feel incredible, its just sometimes I feel down.

    What helps the most is that my husband loves the way I look and has been super supportive.

  • I know how you ladies feel...i am still waiting for that 'cute' feeling to set in.  It is hard to see the numbers creep up and the clothes to feel snug and there being nothing that yu can do about it!  I used to be a fitness junkie so the weight gain and 'chubby feeling' is hard to get used too!  I am starting to train for a half marathon as soon as baby D comes out and I get the OK so hopefully the weight comes off quick and i can get back to my pre-preggo shape :)

  • You are not alone.  I have gained 18 pounds and don't even have a baby bump yet so apparently I just look fat? lol.  I keep getting the "you don't even look pregnant" so I must just look like I've been drinking beer and eating a lot of pizza and french fries. Tongue Tied Some days are worse than others but I just have to keep telling myself it's all for a good reason.  Like you, I am a shadow of my former self (lost 110 pounds since my highest weight) so just remember that we lost the weight once, and after the baby comes we'll be able to do it again. :)
