Does anyone else feel like I do?

Does anyone else just feel unattractive right now? I am over 10 weeks and my body is like in an ackward stage. I am extremely bloated and I have already gained alot of weight. I don't feel like myself and I went to the mall to try and look for larger sizes of pants and just had a breakdown in the dressing room. This is my first pregnancy that has lasted this long so its all new to me. I just don't know how to feel about this. Is anyone else having these feelings?

I feel very unattractive. Your not alone, I dont even want my husbnd to look at me naked, I will be 10 weeks on Monday.  I started haveing trouble buttoning my pants last week so I went to motherhood maternity and got extenders so I would not have to buy new clothes this early on

I was just thinking this today. I looked awful today in this top because my boobs were far too big and noticeable and my belly is really bloated and I am only 9week 2 days!!

I wear maternity jeans. Even though my belly isn't baby yet, it really helps me feel good about myself and feel more pregnant! (*My belly is big because I've had two full-term pregnancies so it just gets bigger, faster now.)

It's a hard place to be in but you just have to take it all in stride!

i feel like a sexy beast! haha. im in that akward stage too. im 12 weeks. i kinda just have a fat jelly belly, but it seems to start to harden up now. im just trying to embrace my new body. i think im just so happy to be pregnant after 2 miscarriages it doesnt really affect me. sometimes i look at myself and im like geez im a fat cow. but then i think about that sweet little baby in my tummy and i get so happy. all these feeling and emotions are completely normal. our bodies are going through so much right now. just keep your head up!
