Feeling fat :(

I'm 39 weeks and I've gained like 35 pounds. I know that's considered "normal" but still...I was looking back on pics of me before I got pregnant and I was a lot thinner and even my face was prettier. Ugh I just feel so ugly and fat lol I want to be able to work out again and go back to normal. Anyone else?

I was down 20 the day after birth, down 40 at my 6 week check up, before I was able to work out or anything, and I was starving from breastfeeding. I really really wouldn't worry about it. That's a great gain.. hoping to only gain that or less this time as I gained a lot more with my first.

Debie! I hope that feeling passes or you find comfort soon! Ive struggled with horrible self image issues my entire life and pregnancy has been the one thing that has changed that for me. I finally feel like I'm not ugly and disgusting. I'm at 36 weeks and praying I don't lose this better self confidence when my pregnancy ends.

Don't feel bad, I'm 28 wks and already gained probably 35 lbs as well.  I started off at 134 in weight and my last apt I weighed in at 163.  Tomorrow is my next apt, and I'm dreading being weighed.  Oh well...lol
