Well, as the title suggests at 21 weeks i'm feeling fairly rubbish. I'm also feeling fairly disgusting as my skin resembles that of an unfortunate teenager, hair seems to be taking on it's own life (when you're in labour do they notice/care how horrendously hairy your bikini area is?! or do i have to deal with it before the big day so i'm not judged...!) i've spent most of last night and today crying as i''m feeling so overwhelmed by everything and i feel so unprepared (how come everyone but me seems to just know what to do with a baby? or is everyone as clueless but better at pretending?). I've got a splitting headache and to top it all off i think i'm getting the beginning of cough whispers hemorrhoids Blush
Could pregnancy be any more delightful? I thought i was supposed to be blooming by now. Sorry, rant over, but knowing how youlovely ladies have dealt with this/ if you're going through similar/ if i'm just a freak and everyone else is having a lovely time would be good.

Oh it's wonderful isn't it!! I'm 38+3 and feeling incredibly unattractive.

My feet resemble Cornish pasties, I have very little feeling in my right hand, my wrists are hugely painful and my face, neck and back are revoltingly spotty. I have put on 5 (yes, 5) stone in the last 3 months so look like a heifer to boot.

The upside is it is all nearly (fingers crossed) over.

Try to do some stuff that makes you feel better, so far I've had a facial, pedi & haircut and getting my hair dyed tomorrow. Believe you me, I am so far removed from a girly girl but it has made me feel better. Grin

I hated every single moment of both my pregnancies Grin. I last gave birth over nine years ago and it is still a relief.

Theres alot on here feeling less than shexy at the min. My pubes have spread up my belly and the tops of my legs and (sorry this is TMI but you may laugh Grin) I have a hairy arse to boot. Do what im doing and leave getting that tackled til the week youre due. Not that they'll care but it'll make you feel better. I too have the headache from hell. Bet you all dont look that bad Blush give it another week or so and youll feel better about yourself, if not there is always cake Grin.

Anyone else a bit corned beefy?
