I'm fat (vent)

Miliska · August 2013

Meh, nothing really new under the sun of the pregnancy world, but I still wanted to take a moment to whine on the interwebs...

I have a fat belly. I can't sleep on it because it's hard, but still it giggles a bit when I'm standing. Pure bloat and fat. Awesome.

I was promised a glow. Now I just feel like I'm sweating fat after eating 5 poutines.

On a positive note, I've been hit on by this new guy at work during lunch break today. I think this is hilarious considering I've probably never felt as bad in my skin since 8th grade.

Aww, I felt that way early on last time. I didn't feel cute and pregnant, I sweated all the time, I was out of breathe all the time. But when I finally started showing (an actual round pregnant belly instead of a fat jiggly one) I finally felt like how I thought a pregnant woman should feel. Hang in there, it gets better.

This is how I have been feeling all week. Just fat. It's hard with no bump to show for it and just having tight clothes.

But being hit on is a nice self esteem boost!

Rant too: Ugh I feel the same way. The skinny girl at work is about 3 weeks ahead of me and I'm 9 and a half weeks all I have is fat and bloat so when everyone comments on her showing a tiny bit it's sooo awkward because noone says anything to me. I sort of wish I hadn't had to share the news at work but since my first day I was so dizzy I had no choice but to sit on the floor during orientation... Figured that needed an explaination or they would think I was just simply crazy on day 1.

Also most of the women there have kids and they clearly don't remember what it was like to be pregnant! I am miserable/sick everyday, noone shows even a smide of sympathy at all ;( needless to say I hate my job already. They all have a ton of drama, they all have 10 kids and no father figures! It's great!
Alright rant over
Happy Wednesday !

I broke down and bought the next size up. I figure I'll need the bigger size post baby anyway! I've been wearing nothing but maxi dresses too. Very comfy!

You are not alone! I woke up this morning and stared sadly at my profile. Where there was once ab definition now there is just a bloated belly. My tops and bottoms are feeling a little snugger these days and I'm extra self conscious because I teach classes at a health club and no one knows I'm preggo yet. They are just watching their instructor get fat! lol

ugh - so there. Looking too pregnant for only 9 weeks. Pretty sure I am going to have to tell my coworkers and friends before I am ready

I already feel like a hot air balloon and then the one friend we told says "look at that belly". I mean REALLY! I'm 9 weeks, it's called bloat fat grossness! So now I feel even worse. And You can't even attempt to suck it in. That hurts. I tried. Used a hair tie on my jeans today. Wanted to cry a little bit. Come on 2nd tri. I can't deal anymore I'm tired. Anyone else having trouble breathing or short of breathe??

I was crying to my husband today that I felt like an elephant and of course he was just telling me that I didn't lol pregnant issues!

I hear you! I'm feeling so fat and bloated all the time. I used to workout everyday but haven't been able to go once because of morning sickness and being exhausted. That is not helping the bloat! Can't wait to get more energy again and a real bump!!

So I bought my first maternity pants and it is so worth it!!! Heading to the mall this weekend to pick up a couple more. No shame! I still use the hair tie and bellaband with my favorite jeans, but nothing compares to the added comfort of maternity pants. I've actually lost a pound since being pregnant (I'm ten weeks), but the bloating caused me to outgrow the waistline of my clothes too quickly.

Walking up the stairs between two floors at work leaves me breathless, and I was usually running these stairs! I can't beleive it's already happening...

I almost didn't go out last night because I look like I've gotten fat instead of pregnant. But while I was walking around at the bar two pretty good looking guys couldn't take their eyes off me! Maybe I needed to gain a little anyway.

I get short of breath walking up one flight of stairs! My new job does not have an elevator and my office is on the 3rd floor... I feel your pain.

mrsrkprice · August 2013

I feel the same way! I am so bloated, it's ridiculous! I'm not telling everyone until I finish my first trimester, so I know the friends and family who don't know are thinking "gee she's letting herself go". My husband says it's all in my head, but I know I'm pooching already, and it is pure bloat.
