UGH! cant seem to look good no matter what I do!

18 weeks with #3....  
And OMG I look like craaaaap! I feel like my nose is huge,my skin is either too oily or too dry. I tried taking a pic to show my Mary Kay lady new foundation Im trying and ugh just UGH couldn't bring myself to send it! Thing is I didn't think I looked so terrible until I stepped out of the bathroom...
I just feel soooo ugly! Its so weird! My acne went away and I was like "finally the pregnancy glow" ....but no I look like death.
Tell me there are miracle cure for the uglies! This is my 3rd baby I was prepared for not looking tip top but this is ridiculousness! Lol
Anyone else dealing with this? Tell me it goes away!

I feel ugly and whale sized alllll the time... It's normal. My skin is oilier so my makeup runs and I feel like being pretty is impossible. Plus I gained 23 lbs which is normal for how far along I am, but still. It makes me feel obese. And my face always gets fat whenever I gain weight, so I just feel like an ugly mess. My boyfriend says I'm beautiful and a lot of my friends say I'm a pretty pregnant lady so I think its mainly in our heads... Plus the hormones don't seem to do us any justice. :p

Sounds like a girl to me. :-) They always say a girl steals her mother's beauty. With my daughter I was the same way. Granted I still didnt get the glow this time but the acne is minimal and I have not gained anywhere but my belly. Dont get me wrong I still feel fat, unattractive, and rolly polly.  Whoever said pregnancy was beautiful should be shot. Lol
