Too much moaning!

[Tomkat79]

I am huge. Huge bump, huge ass, new side boobs, big round face and ballooned arms. I feel like the size of a house and am only 26 weeks!

I lost loads of weight low carbing prior to falling pregnant, but a combination of MS and cravings has meant carb loading and therefore have put it all back on plus more.

This whole new body shape with extra lumps and bumps though is really denting my confidence. Have come away for the weekend and the hotel mirror is huge with a bright unflattering light. It ain't pretty and I ain't moving from under the duvet!

My poor DH is fed up with my whinging but I'm just so self conscious. He's desperate to take some pics of me and bump but I'll end up so upset. He's constantly telling me I'm beautiful bless him. I wish I could just embrace this time but it's not happening

You poor thing, I really feel for you. I felt like that in the first 3 months - I normally keep my bread intake to a minimum but I felt so tired and shit ALL I want to do was eat bread based products like muffins, toasted tea cakes and crumpets. I put on loads of weight to begin with and loads of people guessed I was pregnant even though I didn't have a bump, just a load of extra belly fat. Ugh, felt like crap.

Are you still getting carb cravings now or do you think you can try and get back in pre-pregnancy food mentality? Even after a week of eating better (not perfect, just better) and doing some feel good exercise I felt a lot happier about myself and more in control.

That's lovely your husband is being so nice as well, it really helps. Hope you start to enjoy your weekend away!
