Feeling a moan coming on. Hormones!

[ktjj84]

I'm 17 weeks pg and feel totally hormonal.

I've broke out in spots, i look fat not pregnant, none of my clothes fit me and have few maternity outfits and i keep getting nose bleeds! I feel rubbish! Everyone is expecting me to look blooming wonderful and healthy and i just dont feel i have the energy levels to make an effort of myself (after working full time).

Not just that.... i'm properly being totally vain, but i'm worried after i've had the baby what state my belly will be in, i have faded stretch marks already on body from when i was heavier so i know i'll be covered in the horrible scars again, i guess i'm just worried my partner wont find me attractive after the babys born.

I've just tried to tell him my concerns, however he is far to hung over at the moment listen to me! Men!

Oh i'm with you, on everything you mentioned! My skin is awful - i'm applying Clearasil like i'm 14 again! My hair is lank and needs washing every day, i'm only just getting a bump but it looks more like one too many big macs have been squashed in there I want to bloom!

I'm 22 weeks btw. I plan to avoid mirrors for at least a month or so until I have 'popped'. Maybe then everything will seem like it's because of the baby, and not a junk food overdose!

Youre right! Its like puberty all over again, weight gain, sore boobs, spots and mood swings! I'm sick of people saying 'Oh your not showing much, it must be a girl because your carrying your weight everywhere else'

Just had a bath and a big tub of grapes so i'm feeling slightly happier now :-)
