Feeling ugly

I am 26 weeks along with my 1st child. I am having a girl? Lately I haven't been feeling too pretty. I looked cute in the beginning but now I feel so big! Of course my friends and family and husband think I look so good but I don't believe them. My skin is totally been breaking out lately too! All the hormones I guess since I normally do not have skin issues. I know it's not forever and I am enjoying it but some days I look in the mirror and I am like YUCK! I feel like my face is fatter and butt/muffin top. Anyone else in this stage? 3 more months:) Embrace it I guess and look forward to getting back into hot mama shape...lol

  • I've had bad breakouts my entire pregnancy. However, I feel more frumpy now due to my lack of energy. I have an IDGAF attitude. Makeup is just too much extra work. :P

  • I love my bump, I have really embraced it... and don't think I've gotten too big (yet!), but I'm with you on the skin thing.  Dang hormones... and what really sucks is that you're not really supposed to use any of those OTC acne creams.  Whats a
