Feeling rubbish :( please feel free to drop by

[shellandkai]

Sorry ladies need to have a good moan I have just sat and cried for half an hour because I can't fit into hardly any of my clothes anymore. I'm feeling so fat, my backside has gone 2x bigger my arms are fat my legs are fat oh and then to have it pointed out constantly of how big I am now why would anyone do that?????

I am hating this weather recently, then having people make comments about how I must be really suffering in this weather (YES I AM BUT I DON'T NEED TO BE REMINDED AT LEAST 10xS a DAY!!!!) I hate the fact I can't sleep at night, that I'm constantly tired, that every tiny thing makes me angry, and that people constantly like to remind me how hard it's going to be with 2 children. Then on top of that having to worry about how we are supposed to afford to sort on ds birthday then get all the baby bits, then go straight into Christmas shopping.

Seriously please tell me I'm
Not the only person feeling this bad and rubbish about everything

hi shell.

Relax you are not alone! I think that there will be many of us for whom the weather is the final straw, I have been up since 3 as I was too hot and couldn't get comfy. is there anywhere nearby that has air con? I just spent 10 mins in the local coop cooling down.

we are also watching our pennies at the moment so far ebay and free cycle have been v helpful.

Hope you feel brighter tomorrow and that a proper bump shows up soon it made me feel slightly less fat and more pregnant.

Hi Shell no you are not the only one - and I think the heat is the last straw as Okavango said. I threw an almost tantrum last night because I feel like I can't cope with it and it has made everything else seem insurmountable.

Feeling larger in the heat and trying to stay cool is horrible. I have found some larger cheaper maternity clothes in some supermarkets (but bought online) that are now on rotation, I'm not sure what I would have done without them.

Hope you feel better soon.

I couldn't find any 'bottoms' to fit last night after my bath (all the ones that do are in the wash). So had to go outside to fill our pond with a scarf wrapped around like a skirt. I wanted to cry. Pre-pregnancy I would've just borrowed DH's tracksuit bottoms but they don't fit anymore!

Just make sure you feel comfortable, regardless of how you look. I don't look my best today but my clothes are nice and loose and the fan is on full blast!

You poor thing, I am also suffering! I feel like a wobbly heffalump, I haven't slept properly in months, and its been particularly bad the last week cos of the heat. It just seemed to be rubbing salt in the wound when yesterday morning, having not slept all night I then overslept in the morning, couldn't find anything to wear, and then had a total breakdown, turning up to work a complete bawling wreck.
Nice.

Feeling really horrible and sweaty no clothes fit so still in my nightie

Totally sympathise. Feel like a huge heffalump and nothing fits! Have a select few items that I can wear but its getting a little embarassing as currently having to live with in-laws (don't get me started). No one seems to realise that the heat is probably worse for me (MIL actually said to me "I think the heat affects us all"), not helped by the fact that I still don't have a really obvious bump, so they're all leaving the chores to me still! Rant rant rant!

You are not alone!! I am 39+2 and my sister decided to phone earlier just to tell me she felt sorry for me in this heat and she has no idea how I'm coping. I am not coping, I want to cry all the time. I just don't because I don't want to freak my 5 year old out. I can no longer fit any shoes on my feet, I have a painful pelvis that makes it difficult to walk (but am also agoraphobic, and not being able to get just down the corner shop is making my anxiety worse) and I twisted my knee a couple of weeks ago which makes getting up and down stairs more difficult and psinful that it already is.

To top it all off, my bump is so enormous that I have to stand outside the bath to put soap on and just get in it to rinse off AND I can't reach to wash my feet and have to kneel to do them!!!!

I swear, if I was a horse, I'd be on my way to the glue factory!!

The worst bit is I saw my dp's auntie in town yesterday and she told invited us to her daughters christening, (apparently she was so embarrassed by how separated the room was on her 50th birthday she knew we would talk to everyone) but she also pointed out we have to dress up my partner is wearing his suit my ds a shirt and trousers and I have no idea what the heck I'm supposed to wear as nothing that looks nice fits me anymore!!

The shops in town are rubbish for maternity clothes. Either way too expensive or not nice enough, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do :(.

I just feel so fat and disgusting and hot and frustrated I just want to either shout at someone (which I have done my fair share at quite a few people recently) or sit and cry. Why oh why did I think just because my 1st pregnancy was a breeze this one would be too .

I am inclined to agree with most ops here - the weather seems to make me feel twice the size I really am.!!!

Unfortunately I work in a prison so cannot wear nice loose fitting breezy dresses or sandals

Jeans and vest tips all the way but my god I'm hot and yes, people LOVE to point out how hot I must be. Was it the pool of sweat at my feet that gave it away?? !!!
