Sorry it's one of those threads where I moan about pregnancy making me look like a massive unattractive hippo. I have short body and my boobs go into my bump go into my neck into my face. Lying in the bath got a shock reflection in the shower screen door its official I look like shit and like a beached whale.

Yes I'm feeling rather dramatic. Sorry.

I know I need to grow up and be happy to be pregnant and all that. Just can't seem to do that right now. and it's not like I can sonsole myself with a glass of wine.

I think from now on im not going to allow myself to see myself naked and wear at least underwear at all times. Sigh.

But it's the miracle of life that's growing in you...

Sorry

I'm totally with you, I fucking hate how I look. Bloated, fat, sallow skin. I don't even care that much normally but pregnancy seems to have made me obsessed with my appearance.

We will both have wine, when the time comes

circle thanks :) I know me too but I seem to be obsessed with looking good - or just ok really.

The worst thing is actually for some reason thought I was looking pretty good but then that shower screen door - oof. I suppose it's good not to have a unrealistic view on it.

A friend at work suggested the other day how I should get a lot of scarves. I just murmured ok then and now.... maybe scarves are the answer. Keep everything hidden under layers of scarf.
