low self-esteem

[33159813]

I'm 21 weeks, was 217 lbs before pregnancy & gained 9 lbs so far. I'm so sad about the way I look, being around people make it worse, just seeing pretty & fit women on tv make me despise my body more by the second. Yes, I can work on this after the baby is born. But I know this also takes its toll on my hubby as I'm crying to him about my self hatred. I feel so fat & gross, just a disgusting pig & I'm just getting bigger. It isn't every day, but when it happens its bad enough I worry he will leave me for being so insecure, despite his telling me how much he loves me. This was kind of a vent but also, anyone feeling the same?

Awww mama I'm sure ur beautiful!!! And we all have our fat days especially when we are withchild always remember ur baby and pregnancy weight gain is a necessity u want a healthy baby and a healthy mama!!!  I know it can be difficult but just think about ur beautiful child!! Each lb wok be worth it and will shed off after pregnancy :)

I feel the same way sometimes to with my weight but its normal. We have never felt like this before and for us to see ourselves like this just makes it worse so try to feel sexy and let ur husband tell u how pretty u look and trust is the truth! You are beautiful!

I started out the same, hating my stretch marks and all my extra pounds. Are you showing at all? Once I hit about 30 weeks I really embraced my belly. I bought New panties and nursing bra and said there was nothing I could do but love this bump and this baby. Also, this is a time where you are supposed to gain. Excepting it was hard, but buying new undergarments helped me. I wish you the best of luck!!

I'm 25 weeks and was 220 before and have gained 9.2 pounds lol I feel the same way most days. My hubby gives me all the assurance in the world everyday though. :)

I'm just like that. With my first son I was 145 when I got pregnant and when I gave birth I weighed 205. It took me 2 years to loose it all. It helped a lot when I started working. The weight just started to fall off. I finally got back to my 145 a few months ago and now I'm 14 weeks and 5 days pregnant and have already gained 5 pounds so I'm 150. I've always had bad self esteem. I've never been able to get under 145. I've always felt. Insecure and nasty the way I look. My fiance has delt with over 4 years oof me crying over my weight and hating myself. If he truley loves you then he won't leave you. We all have some issues. Do you work or excercise?v

I feel this way some days...I feel comfortable in some clothes and others I try on and look in the mirror and feel like I look like a house! My husband tells me I look beautiful and I just say whatever.

[katngary143]

I have bad days with my husband also where I dont feel secure with myself and he is away for work so I do time to time have insecure moments but I know my hormones are out of whack and im very emotional I cry over silly things and before I wasnt much of a crier lol
