So when exactly will I start blooming...?

...Instead of being blooming miserable?!
When will I be normal again? I'm 14 weeks. My skin is grey, I have constant headaches, ms is back with a vengnence, so so tired and I am at that stage where I just look like I've eaten too many mince pies not yet pg! None of my clothes fit so have nothing to wear for Christmas. Whinge whinge whinge! Please make me feel better (or at least empathise with me that I am not the only non-blooming mother to be!)

I too have been asking this question, for sometime now. I'm 24 weeks tomorrow and i am still not blooming. I have the worst spots i have ever had in my life - real teenage acne, on my forehead cheeks chest and even back!!! It's not fair!!!!! When am i going to glow?

Sympathies, bumperlicious. I am 10 weeks pg and still feeling vile - very sick! I love being pregnant but hate hate hate this bit . Agree with Socci, at about 20 weeks I (generally) start to feel fantastic and am very fortunate that the feeling seems to last to term!

When I was pg with dd I didn't start blooming till about 28 weeks. It seemed to happen over night, I woke up one morning and felt great and just loved being pregnant. I felt well, looked much better than I had done and loved my ever expanding bump. Even when I was 14 days past my due date and had been having contractions for three days I felt great, if not a little uncomfortable. I'm sure your time will come when you start to feel better about yourself.

For me I statrted to feel better after the 12th week, but didn't start to show until about week 20. Don't worry this to shall pass.
