So i'm sitting here crying my eyes out

[CryingGivesMeAHeadache]

I am 17 weeks pregnant tomorrow and i'm having a bit of a melt down.

None of my clothes fucking fit and I have no money to buy new ones. I don't have a job and am living off DP's wage which is pitiful.

I have been looking for a job for over a year, applying to everything from cleaning to office admin and nobody will employ me. Pretty much given up now as no one will take on a pregnant lady.

I hate myself tonight. I feel fat and horrible and alone. DP works 5-7 days and other than him I don't know anyone in this city despite living here for 4 years.

How the fuck am I going to handle raising a child if I have a melt down over clothes?

Sounds like hormones
Can u get clothes on credit it can be stressful when nothing fits

Thinkin further, i actually wore a lot of my regular clothes throughout. Leggings and thick tights, long jersey tunic tops, empire line dresses. Try Matalan, Primark and Peacocks for cheap stuff. If you can get wrap/buttons/poppers down the front even better if you go for breastfeeding :)

Primark do long, cheap vests. Wear with a long cardigan and stretchy trousers. Next sale is on atm, got my maternity jeans there last year for £14. H+M are good and have regular sales

Can I join you? I have just started crying by my desk at home because I feel huge (I'm 26+5), I'm too hot, I want my flat stomach back but I'm also hungry all the time and my work is suffering because I'm so tired.

The only thing that stopped the tears was when my DH offered to get me a lollipop which I'm now happily licking!

You're not alone

I phoned my Dad this morning and cried my eyes out down the phone and he came round and took me to primark to get me some leggings and some vest tops. It was only one pair of leggings and two vest tops, but I already feel better.

Spoke to DP about it and told him how much it was getting me down, and in a few weeks we should get his deposit from his old flat back and he has said when we have that money he is taking me shopping. So least I have that to look forward too.

It's so stupid that clothes have made me feel so shit. I don't usually care about them.

crying don't underestimate how hormones can screw you up! I only live 20-30 mins.from notts am 34 weeks preggers but if you need a friend pm me and we can arrange a meet, maybe with the other notts lady who offered too
