Self image during pregnancy

[carebearmomma]

Ok, I know our bodies go through a lot while making our babies and we also go through a lot not only physically but emotionally. I just feel so nasty & ugly all the time! I've tried the whole pamper yourself thing, it didn't work. I just felt like a really bad present with pretty paper on it. Is there anything that could help this?

Maybe you should talk to your partner about how you are feeling so he can ease your mind.

Thanks y'all! Im glad I'm not the only one who gets down about silly stuff. I am very thankful I am pregnant & wouldn't change it for the world & yes, it is all worth it in the long run. I guess I'm just scared I'm not looking good enough for my partner. I've been cheated on way too many times & this is my very first pregnancy & I'm just worried when I get huge I'm going to lose this partner too. Silly, I know but it's always in the back of my mind.

I felt like this last time and trust me when I had my daughter it was all so worth it. Im pregnant again and don't care ths time because I've realised its nor all about image. I'm going to enjoy this pregnancy because I was so bummed about how I looked last time I didn't enjoy it and regretted it. I also had a friend who lost a baby so I thought I'd rather look a bit crappy and have my baby than not be pregnant and that I should be grateful for this amazing experience. :) hope I helped even just a bit xx

I know how you feel girl. Before i got pregnant i had lost about 20lbs and im 32 weeks and have gotten past the weight i lost and now i weigh more than ive ever weighed before. The day i realized i was heavier than ive ever been i sat there and just cried :( its alot of emotion to battle but just like sadies said the best thing to do is think about the reason all this is happening and that its only temporary! Once your perfect little bundle arrives you will be so proud of your accomplishment and every ache and pain will be worth it!

i totally understand. What kind of helped me was when i start feeling really icky about my image i would try to remind myself that i am carrying this beautiful baby and what a miracle it is that my body can go thru all this crap and produce this miracle. Sounds silly i know but it helps me.
