10 weeks vs 29.5 weeks. Guys I feel sick to my stomach. I just look so flubby and frumpy. I don't mind the belly getting bigger but dang...I'm bigger all over.

Cheekers2010 · October 2014

Argh. I should probably just delete this. I am seriously embarrassed. Please feel free to flame.

Honestly I think it's just the closeness of the second picture.

Eora3 · October 2014

Sweetie, I hate to break it to you, but you are preggers! Lol!

Your bump is adorable. Hang in there mama!

chicorojo · October 2014

Eh. I feel the same way. I always do towards the end of my pregnancies. For what its worth you look great to me!

haloform · October 2014

You look great! Your body's doing such an amazing job growing that baby

I understand feeling chubby and frumpy though - I have had the same feelings. I think it's really hard to adjust to your body not feeling like what you're used to. Be kind to yourself

leoandethansmom · October 2014

I actually like you so I'm gonna be nice. You look pregnant, not flubby! You really do look great.

ColeyCannoli · October 2014

I know the feeling. I have maternity clothes that I bought much earlier on that don't fit anymore. Maternity clothes. And of course everyone has to tell me about how they or their friend was in their regular jeans right up until the due date (haaate). Ugh, I feel like a land whale.

Still, I don't see "big all over" in your picture at all. It looks like it's all baby.

Cheekers2010 · October 2014

Thanks ladies. I really deserve to be roasted for even posting this nonsense. I had this weird idea that because I was working out so much I wouldn't get all frumpy dumpy. And, this is my third pregnancy! I'm an idiot. It's just been a bad day.

I appreciate it. I think I lost my mind for a second there.

Lauradi1010 · October 2014

I completely feel the same way too. I've never felt so frumpy in my life. Maternity clothes are not always the most flattering and I think that contributes. I haven't taken a "bump" pic since week 20 since I am afraid I will feel even worse about myself. I am still upset w/ my sis for getting a pic a few weeks ago at a family wedding.

Lauradi1010 · October 2014

I find the hardest transition so far was when the bump became bigger than the breasts.

BTW, I find your bump adorable.

nesenotes · October 2014

Hang in there it's almost over! Pregnancy is a mind f*#€! I also feel frumpy dumpy and my underwear no longer stay up because they roll down the flab portion of my bump.

But i promise you don't look flabby. You look pregnant

Cheekers2010 · October 2014

I truly don't mind the bump. I love not having to worry about my belly (a problem area for me when not pregnant). And, I find pregnant women to be very beautiful. I just had a really rotten day and felt so big and frumpy all over.

I am so glad I'm not the only one this happens to.

You look darling!

I'm seriously considering duct taping the effers to my stomach. So uncomfortable! It lands right on the C-sec scar and gets itchy and it's just down right annoying! Definitely not alone!

smack427 · October 2014

I think it's nice to compare the before and now bump pics. It's sweet and is a reminder that baby is healthy and growing. You look fine!

BayCamp · October 2014

I understand the feeling. DH took pictures at the beach today, let's just say I cried when I saw them and looked like a beached whale. I felt like wayyyy more than just my belly got bigger. We are our own harshest critics, he swears I still look like a cute pregnant lady not a big fat ball o' cellulite.

((Creepy hugs)) We understand. You've earned a "dumb" post or twelve with how awesome and supportive you've been of everyone else. Plus, you're just saying what a lot of us are feeling right now.

I think you deserve some love... and ice cream.

Aw, quit making me cry! Thank you. I would definitely take some peppermint ice cream with hot fudge right now.

DH and I were just discussing how much mat jeans suck. They are loose and saggy in wrong places, and tight and weird in other wrong places. I honestly think your maternity jeans in the second pic are just a poor fit and that's what looks frumpy to you.

So very very true. They fit me horribly. I just have given up on finding ones that do.

CandEChicago · October 2014

We all have our days. At least you are not complaining about weight gain with the photo.

I am sure if you had everyone compare their 10 week photo to their most recent there is a noteable difference.

I have certainly "popped" over the last week or so. So much so it is a process to roll from my one side to the other.

Heidig14 · October 2014

You look great! But I feel the same way. My legs and arms have gotten so much bigger. I refuse to weigh myself and I have hidden all my clothes that no longer fit (including some maternity clothes) I just keep telling myself I can worry about it after baby is here and work extra hard to loose the weight!

mlee116 · October 2014

Um, I really don't see what is so bad. You look great! Your bump is adorable

Cheekers you really do look great! Not frumpy and dumpy at all. You look pregnant.

rshamos · October 2014

I don't see the flub? You just look like a rockin' pregnant lady!

Cryssteen · October 2014

Chica.. I have to be honest. You look pretty damn good to me. Obviously no one is going to be a worse critic than you. But, besides a bigger bumb and bigger boobs, I don't know what you're seeing. I now have thigh cellulite. Like, in the front. from my undies that don't stay up to my knees. What the eff is that? But guess what? My friggin boobs are the same exact size as they've always been... This shit is all stupid... I never really understood what a mind fuck this pregnancy body would be. You see models in maternity ads with twig legs and arms...and this little ball-bump. No one talks about the other crap. My ankles are HUGE. and that's the only thing on my body that I ever considered dainty... ga-ross.

Anyway.. long story short: i feel ya. You look good to me. I'm sure I look good to you. We're all a friggin mess. But at least it's going to be big bulky sweater weather soon. And, this year, leggings are totally pants. Peace out.

Cheekers2010 · October 2014

ah yes, @cryssteen! Bulky sweater weather! Can't wait...

RayRay007 · October 2014

Honesty it looks like all bump.

As for pp that said they had to buy bigger mat clothes, I did too with my first, my hips and thighs got wide and my mat jeans didn't fit anymore at the end. But it all went back to normal!

I have to agree with PPs...you really look lovely, and just as you're supposed to. Finding clothing to feel good in is such a challenge when your body is not only a different size, but a different shape than you're accustomed to.

PS- I think we could start a whole thread about underwear. I definitely don't have it figured out. It's either rolling down, or I buy humongous underwear that can go up over my belly button. Ugh.
