Ladies can I throw a tantrum???

I just need to vent or else I'll cry

This is such a first world pregnancy problem.

We are going on our baby moon tomorrow. I'm just so excited. I've been busy finishing work and I literally just went to the store for a bathing suit. I feel disgusting. I thought I would feel cute but I don't.

All the bottoms of the suits they have are the ones that cut into your thigh not the ties and I basically had to go up in size and it still doesn't fit right. I jut wish I could feel confidant but I don't, I feel like a house.

The whole time there's a girl next to me shopping for her shower so she must be at least 2 months ahead of me and she's tiny! She's about 4 inches taller, and probably 30 pounds lighter. A bit like the unicorn pregnany.

I just feel gross and jealous and I just wish I could get over it. Sigh.

Thank you for letting me vent.

that's sucky.

Once you're on vacation, hopefully you forget all about the ickiness you're feeling today

I feel the same way, friend. Most days me getting out of bed can be compared to a turtle on it's back trying to right itself.

You aren't alone! Go sip a mock tail by the pool wearing whatever you want and remind yourself you are fabulous.

I had the same frustration, you'll be fine! Ignore the size and get comfortable. You are totally oblivious to the size when you wear it. Get ready to thoroughly enjoy yourself.

I'm sorry, I am familiar with that feeling. You are absolutely beautiful no matter what size the tag says. Just remember you're carrying a little miracle and your SO loves every bit of you. Have a blast!

Totally understand! Yesterday I was trying on non-maternity dresses for a concert this weekend-- I'm showing but not huge-- anyway, made me feel freaking enormous. Nothing fit right and I felt like I looked like a barn. For what it's worth, we are a LOT more critical of our own bodies than anyone else will be, so go easy on yourself.

no worries.. just try to remember we're halfway there!

if it makes you feel better.. my underwear are digging INTO MY thighs like you would not believe.. and i've already bought bigger undies... sigh... my ass grows right along with my stomach

Agreed with ghost! You'll forget all about it on vacation. I ended up going to Target and getting a regular bikini in a much bigger size. I don't care if I'm a sight to see, my husband thinks I'm sexy and that's all I care about. I feel like maternity clothes are trying to cover up the bump sometimes instead of displaying it for the amazingness it is. Be proud of your belly and enjoy every moment with your SO!!! Although I totally feel you and am only saying these words from having had to tell myself them so many times!

You're going to have so much fun that you won't worry about how you look. Also, you're going to celebrate some of the last few weeks of alone time with your hubby, and I'm positive he won't care what you're wearing.

I feel your pain. My anatomy scan was today and the tech was pregnant. She was tiny and adorable with a little basketball belly. I guessed she was maybe due in May or June. Nope, in ten days. I felt like a cow. DS was born ten days early and I was a miserable swollen mess for weeks by that time. Have fun on your trip and don't worry about it. All pregnant women look great!

If the suits you're looking at are separates, why not buy regular tie bottoms and a maternity top?

Bottoms are bottoms, right?

Knbh · March 2014

I just wanted to add that people will be looking at your bump, focusing on the fact that you're growing a baby. No one would even notice if your bottoms are a little too tight.

Enjoy your trip!

I'm so sorry, girl. I hate bikini shopping even when I'm not pregnant!! I'm sure your man loves your new curves and getting some sun will help lighten your mood. Get super tan for the rest of us!!!

You ladies are THE best! Thank you for the support. I wish none of us felt this way but it's nice to know you're not alone.

In hindsight I should have just gone to target and bought separate pieces and not spent a 100 bucks on something just meh. That's what's happens when you leave things to the last minute.

But seriously ladies, thank you. Hopefully the sunshine makes me forget all about it

You are pregnant it's the best excuse to go up a size! Also, clothing will look better a size up versus trying to fit into your normal size. Go have fun and enjoy your last vacation free from major responsibility
