16 weeks and feeling gross!

ginafun · January 2014

This is prenancy number 2. I'm very active and eat well. I'm Tall so I carry well, but I feel gross. During my first pregnancy I felt sexy during the second trimester and lean and firm. This time around, I just feel blah. I hate to look in the mirror. I'm tired. My husband is sweet and supportive but I can't help but feel insecure if I see a fit, attractive female on t.v. And I'm sitting on the couch with saggy boobs, a belly, and break outs on my chin. What gives? Did anyone feel this way about consecutive pregnancies even if you didn't do anything different?

I'm in the same situation.... 2nd PG and not feeling very attractive this time around. I embraced my pregnancy bod last time but now i feel disgusting. I went clothes shopping the other day and had a meltdown in the fitting room because I hated the way I looked. I only had 7 months in between pregnancies so I wasn't back down to me pre pregnancy weight before getting pregnant again. My H is also supportive but he doesn't understand that I'm insecure with the way I feel about myself. Not about the way HE sees me.

I'm sorry you're in this situation too, but it's good to know I'm not alone. I just laugh at the scene in What To Expect When You're Expecting when she walks out for her speech and lays down the truth about the grossness of it all. I felt like the hot chick carrying twins with my first. Oh the irony of it all.

I'm right there with ya. I was comparing bump pictures from when I was pregnant with #1. I'm bigger now at 16 weeks than I was with him at 30... I want to cry
