Feeling Ugly

in December 2013 Moms
I am 9 weeks pregnant and just feel gross about myself. I'm not showing but I look like I've put on a few pounds because of bloating. I remember feeling like this with my first son around this time. Am I the only one who feels this way? I'll be happy when I'm out of the "awkward" phase of pregnancy.

    Having an actual baby bump is so much better, it's just a phase until then. I try to wear flowy tops and comfy skirts/dresses during this awkward time. Sometimes getting some new clothes helps and a pretty necklace to draw the eyes up!

    So sorry you are feeling so unattractive. I feel very bloated too, and have gained about 5 lbs. I know it is a rough time for all of us, bu try to think of it as only being temporary. I hope you feel better soon!

    I am a "fluffy" girl to start with with all this bloat and extra pudge I feel horrible. I don't even want to leave the house again until I look pregnant.

    I'm exactly the same. I gain weight in my face and my belly before I gain it anywhere else, and I already feel like it's showing. At least we're in it together!
    I promise to never forget that this little dude deserves just as much love after the baby comes as he has now.

    Also, SO glad I'm not the only person who feels this way. I just don't want any of those "I was kinda wondering if you were pregnant" statements once I announce the pregnancy. I remember with my son I announced it and my friend said, "I was kinda wondering what was happening, you aren't the type to normally let yourself go." ....Jezz thanks, I  look like I let myself go?

    Nothing like a muffin top to make you feel glowing right? I feel like I look like sh!t.

    Yes. I am totally feeling you. Doesn't help that before I got my BFP I was gaining weight and feeling awful about it....now I'm seven weeks tomorrow, eating only healthy food, and exercising (Gently, but still exercising), and still gaining weight, and it makes me feel like s***.

    My husband insists I am beautiful but man, I look in the mirror and I see a different person. >_<  

     

    ETA: And, of course, my ticker is wrong. 0.o I'll fix that later.

    7 weeks and feeling this way. I'm very bloated which didn't happen with my first and I do feel like I put on some weight. I hope this feeling turns into that glowing gorgeous pregnant woman but I'm not very optimistic about that at the moment. Actually I would settle for just not having chapped lips now.

    Omg! I was just thinking the same thing about my lips!! Is this a pregnancy symptom?? My lips have been SO chapped. I keep trying different balms but they are STILL chapped!!!

    Today has been quite bad for me. My skin has been horrible since I got pregnant and bloating makes me feel big and yucky. Ready to get this part over with!

    I still haven't lost the weight from my last one.  Now my size 14's are feeling tight.  Time to break out the maternity pants.

    Yup! Lots of Muffin Top for me too! I have gone out and bought a bunch of loose fitting button up shirts, makes me feel a bit better! I'm just glad it's not quite bathing suit season yet where I live. Yuck.
