Hi redhead, absolutely understand hun, especially the arse thing, my god I feel like I'm pregnant in the front and back.lol. But seriously I started feeling bit like a dag and frump in the 2nd trimester. So here is a list (that sometimes works to make me feel like a hot mama to be and picks up my mood...even if it is only for an hour:

*Sexercise...yes I know usually the last thing when your holding up a big bump but makes me feel like I am irresistable (even if it is only in my DH's eyes
*Cheese, chocolate and crackers (This is the time were you can indulge and you got through those 20's so don't worry bout facing that girl again, you will never go back to those days cos you are aware of changes that made you into the awesome woman you are today.)
*Bubble bath and shave the legs/Pluck eyebrows
*New undies (even if they are the packet ones, get really pretty ones.)
* Watching sex and the city, have a laugh and meet your girlfriends for a mocktail.
* Buy a gorgeous maternity dress, jeans, shirt..etc...
* And like other ladies said good ol affirmation, even stick it on the bathroom mirror so you can read it daily.x
