for you hun - completely understand where you are at!!! Tried to dress a little funky the other night to go out and came out of the bedroom saying to DH, "There's not much you can do these days to make a 33wk pg bod look sassy!!!"
And in regards to lack of energy levels!! OMG!! I don't think I ever had that burst of energy this time and now when I feel I couldn't get any more tired, I do!!!
Oh and the skinny girl thing - yes, well, just walking next to my sister makes her look thinner again and me, well even more whale-ish! I want to slap a chick around the back of the head when she stands next to me and comments on how frumpy she feels!! Then they say the most annoying comment, "But you have an excuse...." oh so you do think I am fat?!?!?! LOL!!!!!
Right now, I don't think any one could win against an emotionally and hormonally charged pg woman!!!
But I know that this is little comfort right now, but believe me, you'll be holding a munchkin before you know it and your body will start to shrink (by the time DD was just 6wks old, people already saw a huge difference, to the point that someone didn't recognise me to begin with!!)
Just take it one day at a time honey!!! I have no doubt that you are a gorgeous yummy looking pg mummy anyways!!!!!!
I'm with you too V.
My energy levels have hit an all time low the last couple of days. I just need one day of rest to catch up, but I don't think that it going to happen anytime soon.
And in regards to the body image thing, I know how hard it can be. When I was pregnant with DD I only put on 13kgs through out my whole pregnancy this time around I'm already at the 12kg mark and I still have 9 weeks to go, OMG . And my clothes are starting to look shocking on me, and that is of course the ones that still fit.
I'm just really trying to enjoy this pregnancy as I think it will be the last , so I try not to dwell on my weight or body image, as I know that I'll regret worrying about a few kg's after he is born.
Hope you cheer up soon.
*hugs* Veronica, I'm feeling the same...I've had a 'cloud' of depression hanging over me this week and I just can't shake it...I feel more calm when I'm at home, but when I think about going to work, I just feel crappy again. I think the 2nd trimester energy/feelings have gone too! As far as body image goes, I had just started feeling better about myself before I got pregnant and now...well I just can't find anything flattering! Admittedly, switching to some of my husbands clothes might be responsible for that (at least I'm comfy!)
