I feel so fat.

I have actually lost a few pounds and my clothes fit just fine, so I know this is in my head.  My mom and I are going maternity clothes shopping together this weekend and I tear up every time I think about it because I feel so fat and ugly.

Normal, right?  Please?

Re: I feel so fat.

  • Normal, yes. Just remember you're not 'fat'..you're pregnant. There are some really cute maternity clothes out there these days too.

  • I'm 8 weeks, I've lost 12 pounds, and I'm so FAT from this pregnancy.  It's a tiny thing now, so no bump, but it's expanded my uterus and now my pants don't fit.

    I feel the same way you do, so yeah, I hope normal.

  • I feel so fat, but it mostly from the bloating. My DH reminds me I am not fat all the time and that I am pregnant. But I still feel fat lol...

  • I feel the same way - my pants feel tight and my boobs already feel huge! But working out has kept me in good spirits and feeling like at least I'm somewhat fit.

    This.

    I actually loved my bump last pregnancy (I mean, once I got past the whole fat or pregnant stage of course ;) ).  It was nice not worrying about looking fat or chubby.  I mean, the belly is obviously there!  Embrace the freedom while you've got it because too soon you'll be lamenting your post-baby body :/

    You took the words right out of my  mouth!  I feel fat-DH says I'm not fat that I'm pregnant; but it's still hard to deal with the issues of clothes not fitting properly!

  • With my first I felt fat until about 15 or 16 weeks, when I was big enough that people could actually tell I was pregnant. After that I never really felt fat, just, well, HUGE.

  • I 100% know how you feel! I have actually lost weight and everything still fits EXACTLY the same... but I just feel gross and fat! I hate it!!

    I am so tired of people telling me that my belly is not getting bigger and that I just want it too, wish they could be at my house in the morning as I struggle to button my pants!!!! I am so glad you said that you have a little bump too, even if it is just the uterus!! Good luck:)
