feeling insecure

[Nickley3]

I know I dont have a lot to complain about. I was 115 pounds before getting pregnant and have only gained 20 pounds at 36 weeks. I am pretty small compared to other pregnant women but I feel HUGE! I feel so fat and lazy and yet everyone keeps telling me how tiny I am and it makes me so mad! I know it's meant as a compliment but why can't they say, "pregnancy looks good on you" or "your bump is so cute"? And I dont want any comments of "consider yourself lucky... etc" because I know I have it good but I am just frustrated with feeling like a fatty and having everyone else tell me differently. Thanks for letting me vent :)

Same here. I was 97 pounds before now weigh 130, I'm never up to putting on make up or fixing my hair since I already have a toddler. And plus I only have about 5 good outfits that's actually fit me! I'm so ready to have this baby and get myself back.

I know exactly what you mean. I was 114 prepregnancy and here I am at 39 weeks at 156... I know I look huge and everyone knows how hard I'm taking it. The things with me is that I've always been an unselfish person. It's easy for me to take myself out of a situation and see how something that seems negative or tough might be benefiting someone else. In this case, it's my first born. I've never been over 118 and I'm only 4''11 and very athletic. My dr wasn't concerned and i haven't had any complications. I'm looking forward to before and after pictures. There's no doubt in my mind that I've got this handled and you will too. Chin up and enjoy the fact that u have an excuse for now lol. It's harder said than done but no one can make u change your mind except yourself.
Best of luck

I was like that with my first pregnancy. I just told them either way pregnancy still effects me the same like every other woman. Dnt care how small you are, but dnt feel insecure, i know gaining so much weight suchs. But once you have the baby and all that extra weight comes off. You can get back in shape. And feel comfortable again.
