feeling unattractive

I'm 18 weeks and I feel so big and "fat" (i was bigger to start with) and I just don't know how to shake it. And uve tried thinking about what's to come of all this, but it doesnt help. Especially bc then I think about if I feel this way now, how am I going to cope with being 8 months!?

:( sorry to hear this! I personally love being pregnant and watching my body change. It helps a lot that my husband tells me I'm incredibly sexy especially pregnant,I think its like (your carrying my spawn thing) lol!  I too am 18wks on Tuesday and was about 115lbs pre-preg. Don't get me wrong I have my days, and I too worry about how I'll look in the upcoming months. Just remember that as women we are our own critics. I bet you look beautiful! We can't change it, so we mine as well embrace it. Sending self esteem to all you mommas on this post feeling not so hott!

I was very small and have been skinny my whole life.  I am now 19 weeks and also feel fat and gross.  I wonder the same, how will I handle 3rd trimester? ?? I've had a super easy pregnancy so weight gain has been the hardest thing for me so far.  I don't have any advice,  just wanted u to know ur not alone!!
