Down about weight

I get really upset at myself for getting so down about my weight but I truly cant control these bad thoughts. Im overweight, and this pregnancy started off at a higher weight than all my other 3. Everytime I look in the mirror I am completely disgusted with myself. Im going on a trip with a bunch of friends in a couple weeks and dying thinking about being in a bathing suit in front of them. I know my weight isnt a measure of my self worth but man Im really struggling with feeling miserable about it. Anyone else having a hard time? I wish It didnt bother me so much. 
Baby #4 on the way!

Re: Down about weight
The other day, I wore a long skirt and a shaper and felt like I was going to die. Baby was not happy being compressed. She/he likes to breathe!
Someday this week, I'll start a plus-size mama check-in, so we can all bond together!
Yeah, I started out 10lbs heavier around this time from my last pre-pregnancy weight so was already pushing my clothes to the limit. Now nothing fits but maternity is still too big and it's depressing. Had to buy my first XL pants at motherhood maternity and it was depressing. trying not to stress but I might start a food journal to check when I chow down the most and hopefully when my energy returns, I can walk and exercise more to keep things in check.
right now I'm just reminding myself that I'm going to hire a trainer and along with a gym membership afterwards and this will all go away
I've been trying to walk daily, as well as eating healthy options and trying to keep my bowel movements regular, but I still can't help but feel like I'm not doing enough.
I had gotten on this weight loss kick right before getting pregnant (this baby was a surprise), and I lost about 30lbs in the course of a couple months. I was thrilled, but at the same time, I wish I had been able to do more before conceiving. Oh well. Not much we can do about it now, right?
I'm just trying to concentrate on the baby, and his/her needs. My job right now is to ensure that it is born healthy (within my ability), so that means NOT worrying about weight, but just working on being healthy.
I have a workout plan ready for about three months after and hope I can stick with it. I've lost it before I can do it again. And even if you've never lost it before there's no reason you can't for the first time after the baby is born.
