Pregnancy vanities anyone?

ksmith520 · July 2015

Throughout my pregnancy I haven't been feeling very vain about some things because I know they are going to happen whether I want them to or not--bigger belly, stretch marks, weight gain, etc. But the only weird thing Inhave held onto was my innie belly button. It is slowly disappearing and as silly as it seems I really don't want it to go!!

Anyone else have strange vanities they are holding on to?

Lol I still have an inny too but I doubt it will pop out. I'd be shocked if it did, I have a very deep inny naturally. My mom's the same way and hers didn't pop with any of her children. So I feel you on that... I love my inny LOL.

Also, my skin hasn't been breaking out since I've been pregnant, which is so nice.

I still have stretch marks, all over, and look like a whale.... but hey, I'll worry about that once baby boy is here and healthy & just hang onto my small vanitys until then lol.

Edited for auto correct -_-

Yes, weirdly enough my butt is disappearing!! Well, it's quite large at the moment but I spent several months getting it into a nicer, rounder shape and my belly doesn't allow me to do the same exercises so now it just sort of went wide and flat. Haha.

I know I'll build it up again but...WAH! LOL

I have a sun spot on my face. It's been there since I was a teenager but pregnancy amplifies it. I don't wear make up often but I have to put concealer on my spot. If I look in the mirror it's all I see. I see nothing else about my fave except this awful brown spot.

I have lots of birth marks all over me so I'm used to having imperfections and I actually love them, but my face! Ugh!

I agree with the belly button! Mine hasn't started to pop out yet but I really hope it doesn't! But one that shockingly happened that I can't get over is that my eyelashes have changed!? Like what? Why is that a thing? I've always had super long "perfect" curly lashes and I'm not a huge fan of anything about myself but was always proud of my lashes haha but now when I put mascara on their shorter and more straight! It's so weird and I hate it

Put me in the belly button category, too. I didn't pop with my first, so I'm hoping to hold on to it again this time as well.

I was doing dishes the other day, and when I turned around, my fiancé said "your butt has gotten huge!"

( I can't wait until I can start doing my squats again.

allsmilz82 · July 2015

I had a deep innie belly button too and it's almost popped out! I really hope it stays in. Such a weird quirk I have...

I'm also sad that I haven't gotten the neautiful long hair that so many women talk about during pregnancy. Dang it!

I always get more freckles in the summer sun and then they fade throughout the rest of the year. But this year, my skin seems to be reacting to the sun more and I now feel like I have one GIANT freckle on my face. I could be outside for 5 minutes and I have a ton more. It's insane.

I used to hate my freckles as a kid, now I really love them...I've just never had to love this many at one time.

sakiraharrison · July 2015

I have a super deep inny too, and lately it's been baby's favorite place to rub his little feet. When he gets active I can see him pushing it out, and I swear if I pops he's so grounded. Lol besides that I chopped off all my hair around thanksgiving last year, and it's almost back to the length I want it (squeeze!) But I do miss easily being to reach my toes to paint them.

callistosmile · July 2015

@MW5280 My freckles are insane this year too!

I also feel like my skin is darkening on its own this year. I religiously sunblock before I leave work every day, and my bus/walk commute takes less than an hour, but I look like I've been laying out all summer. I really don't mind except for the fact that I'm super paranoid about skin cancer.

Yiggle09 · July 2015

Baby gave me this huge pimple looking thing super red on my upper cheek close to my eye and it's not going away . I think my inny is staying and just getting stretched thankfully. The weird thing about my belly button is i had it pierced 3 different times back several years ago and my Linea Negra has gone up to belly button and swooped around the scar. Very strange.

conchispitita · July 2015

My feet. They aren't even good looking to start with, but I usually keep them soft and my toes painted. They are horribly swollen all the time and it is a struggle to reach them. But even if they look like little painted sausages I keep my toenails painted!

heidi3189 · July 2015

I also have the weird red bump by my eye. It came up during my 5th month and looked like a zit. It's been slowly going down but no signs of going away completely. j Am Also Sad About My Feet. I have always loved my feet but they are so swollen right now.

jwebbbber45678 · July 2015

I've got broken capillaries on my face and chest that look like zits but won't go away. On a positive note, my body hair is usually dark and it has gotten very light with this pregnancy. I used to have to pluck a few hairs from upper lip but since I've been pregnant my hair is so light I don't notice it any more! I hope that's a permanent thing!

PregNancyClark · July 2015

I've never been proud of my cupie doll belly button in the first place- but now it is stretched flat to the point that it's just a slightly discolored lump!! Sigh...

CSchoFink · July 2015

Yeah my deep belly button is basically a flat little knot now! My husband likes to make fun of it and ask where my belly button went...

Ntswalo · July 2015

Mine has to be cellulite. Thot i got away wit it bt caught myself in da mirror at the wrong time n that particular angle n lighting i was horrified looks like i sat thigh deep in gravel

verveine407 · July 2015

My hair has been getting super long. I have been taking great care if it too - partly being vain and partly hoping people just keep their eyes up and don't notice my poor feet. I miss being able to do my own pedicures.

PhoenixJewels · July 2015

I have a random brown spot that has appeared on the right side of my forehead. It looks like dirt so I keep scrubbing at it but it doesn't go away

Courtney Landis · July 2015

I have several random black chin hairs that need plucked now, FML

YTuMamaTambien · July 2015

I have an innie too and instead of popping out it kind of seems to be opening up some which is weird bc I can see further inside...

TabulaRasa25 · July 2015

I have a deep innie that is definitely less deep these days, but it doesn't bother me.

I was prone to stretch marks before pregnancy, so I expected some major ones, but it's really not happened yet.

I actually HAVE noticed that my eyelashes have changed (they are short, were previously long, I don't get it).

I AM pretty annoyed and embarrassed that I'm now doing a terrible job of shaving my legs, but it's just too awkward and uncomfortable to take the time to be doubled over doing that.

lolad5 · July 2015

My thighs touch since I packed on weight to support this belly. I was never model skinny or sickly looking just a petite 100 pound lady. It was just how my body was built. Now I'm so self conscious of it. I feel like a fat cow and I'm definitely looking forward to getting back into shape when my body is recovered of course. Oh the things we miss about our old selves.

serenityuy01 · July 2015

Not yet but I hate to admit how much I'm freaked about my potential post baby belly.

( this is my first and I have seen a lot of pictures lately of how loose looking the skin looks and I'm kinda worrying about it. I feel silly because of course I wouldn't trade any of it for the gift of carrying my kiddo but the thought of my belly looking like that really bugs me...

AmandaNacora · July 2015

My only vanity is not being able to wear cute underwear anymore. With the increase in discharge and the fact that all my cute ones roll down in front I just went ahead and bought throw away granny panties. I've heard I'll need them after delivery so might as well just start wearing them now... I do miss my cute ones though my pancake butt looks really bad in granny panties
