Where the fuck is my fucking glow?!

[NoCapes]

I'm 15 weeks
It's Saturday night
I've just threw up so hard that I pissed myself and got a nosebleed at the same time

I'm 15 weeks!! I should be done with this shit!
I want to be glowy and barefoot and waft around all serene like in a multicoloured kaftan type thing rubbing my bump

Not spending my Saturday night cleaning up leakages from every fucking orrifice off my bathroom floor

Who's got my glow!?!
I want it now!!

35+2 here and no glow to speak of, I have a half decent tan from being in Devon during that ridiculously hot week we had in June and being too exhausted to move means I am quite brown. This is not the famed pregnancy glow because it comes with massive dark circles under my eyes from naffy sleep and a horrible rash on both my forearms. Even my hair has given up now 😢 4 weeks to elcs and counting!!!

Fuck.

My toes puffed up today. And my belly button has flattened out. Fucknuggets.

On the plus side my lovely floaty leopard print top still fits. It's snug but one of my faves and non maternity.

And my lovely kittycat "catface" has decided she's my friend again and is curled up on my lap. She's purring and baby boy is wiggling about like crazy. I hope they'll be best friends.

10storey lol with the "you look well" comments! Made me think about trying to aim the next vomit on their shoes

I never got the glow, just felt bloated and fat the whole way through. And snored. And felt generally inflated. Urgh. This is why I only have one!

I went to friends fest yesterday and had pictures of myself for the first time since being pregnant
I thought only my boobs and belly had grown
Oh how we larf!! I look like I've been inflated, my poor poor face is now actually spherical and sooooo shiny - wait is the shininess 'the glow' tiz just my skin stretching a bit further than comfortable really but I might go with it!

Oooo em the belly urging flattening is a turning point, must mean you're reaching the home stretch?!

Button belly button
Fucking urging!?!

Very very cheesy (and stolen from a film ) but also very very true.... I think you finally feel your glow when you're holding that tiny little person in your arms and you can smell their smell, stroke their super soft skin and hair and hear their little noises and breath. It takes you to a whole other place and sets the world to right. Just hang in there!!

nocapes you think??? I'm 32 weeks at present so not long to go at all.

I just hope belly button stays flat now. If it pops out that's it. Game over. Not doing this again. hate belly buttons

I waited and waited for the glow.

All I got was fat and PGP....

...but then a beautiful baby.

Pregnancy sucks and the glow is a lie I'm afraid. But it will all be worth it in the end.

I've given up even hoping for the glow to start having had another morning of horrendous sickness at 16 weeks. I'd settle for not being so violently sick that it ends up coming out through my nose ... does it ever stop?!

15 weeks and also threw up this morning while sitting in my own pee.

Nails are looking quite nice. That's the only pregnancy benefit I've seen so far!

I threw up everything for 25 weeks .Went from 10st 7lbs to 8st. I had 10 days when I felt fantastic then the heartburn kicked in. Only drinking 12litres of milk everyday helped. I then went from 8st to 14st 10lbs.
Ds I just went from 10st 7 to 16stone 10lbs and felt ill for the whole of the 9 months.

To top it all because my bump on both of them never appeared. (I seem to grow sideways) I had people regularly shouting Fatso and Lard Arse at me whilst hanging out of their car window.

I glowed beautifully for the 6 hours before I went into labour! I was cheated, I tell you cheated!

I think I could be glowing. Because I'm so hot you might be able to cook eggs on me.
Still throwing up here at 28 weeks too.
I'm laid on my bed and I'm pretty sure even my bare feet are sweating, my bare feet ffs.
I'm looking forward to a growth scan today but really really really don't want to have to put actual clothes on and go out and face real people with their make up and togetherness while I sit all scraggly and uncomfortable with my sick bowl.
The baby is jumping about though so at least he seems happy.

I got pregnancy acne; I didn't even know that was a thing.

It's not a glow, it's just a sweaty face. The glow is bullshit. Sorry.

21 weeks and I've been feeling sick and puking since week 5. It's hard working when you feel this crap! I haven't glowed once it's all a big myth to make us procreate!

Oh nocapes the way you wrote this did make me laugh, but I really feel for you.

I'm 17w. The constant waking up to going to sleep nausea stopped a couple of weeks ago. "Thank god for that!" I thought. No. The nausea has been replaced with my old friend acne. The last time I had a pizza face, I was 15 and ended up going on the pill to sort my skin. I also have NO CLOTHES! Where's my fucking glow?! I want my glow!

I'm 23 weeks and I don't think there is a glow to be had!

I am rotating the same outfits. Apparently my colleague has been keeping track of what I've been wearing for the last 4 weeks. Bitch it's interesting though. On Tuesdays I wear leopard print. On Wednesdays grey stretch skirt. Thursdays either black or blue dress. Haha!

30 weeks and still no glow! Just dull, sweaty skin and greasy hair!
Can't sneezy with out a leak and I second what one pp said about people commenting on how 'well' I look! I feel terrible ALL THE TIME!

spots usually and no glow

32 weeks yesterday and I'm still asking that question.

Oh, just to add to my previous post, my acne goes from my ears and joins under my chin. I have a beard of acne. An acne beard. Sigh.
