Insecure around other women.

[Kell91]

I hate to rant on here but I have nobody to open to. Anyway every time we go out.
I worry about looking fat and ugly next to beautiful slim women. I wish I could afford to make myself look beautiful and skinny like these women who I see out and about especially those skinny mums who have It all together I'm pregnant ugly overweight mess my partner loves and wouldn't change but I can't see how when there's far prettier and skinnier women out there than me I literally hate myself I'm disgusting pig 😭

You’re pregnant and hormonal. You’re literally creating life with your body right now, there is nothing more amazing that a human body can achieve. So, please be nice to yourself. You wouldn’t call anyone else a disgusting pig (I’d hope), so show yourself the same kindness.

And does your partner look like a young Brad Pitt/Idris Elba/insert hot celeb of your preferred look? No, I’m guessing? But you love him anyway, because his worth and your love are not predicated on looks, right? That’s how he feels about you.

Maybe your partner actually likes you - the grey matter between your ears and your appearance (which I am sure is perfectly fine) doesn't enter into why he chooses everyday to be with you.

The key thing is he wouldn't change you. It's easy to say you shouldn't worry about others but not so easy to do.

I'm a lot older but my husband still loves me for who I am and he is even older, ill and overweight but he's still the man I love and married.

Just accept that it's your issue, your husband still sees you as the beautiful you woman he married.

I'm feeling it fed feel so unattractive iv gained so much weight nothing fits me all the slim women dressed nicely while I can't make sad I'm also fed up of working can't go on leave yet so depressed at the moment 😭

I don't remember feeling this insecure and Ugly in my last 2 pregnancies. I look like an elephant literally iv piled on 3 stone at 23 weeks :(

Nothing we say is going to make you feel better unless you’re willing to listen and take it in.

You're pregnant, of course you're not going to be tiny. You're growing a beautiful human inside you right now and you are so lucky to be able to do that.

Focus on your health, on eating the right foods to nourish baby, and going for walks so you can stay fit and healthy for the delivery.

Your partner loves you and sees you in a positive light. You're most likely very hormonal at the moment as well.

Focus on health and on pampering yourself a little.

Yeah? And you’re getting older so your skin looks worse, your body is gradually wearing out and your days left have gone down by 1.
Thing is you are one of 3.5 BILLION women on the planet. Really it doesn’t matter what you look like.
Are you a nice human being and do you care for those around you. That’s all you need to focus on.

Yeah I suppose I'm struggle with body image before being pregnant so it ain't helping at all just dropped my youngest daughter at school now feel terrible seeing the mums with small bumps with no fat on them looking amazing just feeling down in the dumps 😪

Its awful feeling I'm out walking sobbing feel so down 😭

I never had a neat bump in fact by pg no 3 I was bigger round than tall #weeble
But you know what, it didn't matter because I was having a baby.

We shouldn't have to feel like getting big in pregnant is a bad thing. But when people make me feel shite it doesn't help at all im constantly being told what to eat and how big I look in my job it is very annoying pregnancy is very hard as it Is people around me are always passing judgment im fed up of it and with all the comments you'll gain 5 stone if you eat stuff that like that comments. They wouldn't comment on non pregnant persons diet or weight so why pregnant women upset me that I can't seem to get away with it seems other like hurting others they can't keep thoughts to themselves I've calmed down a bit Just treat myself to a hot chocolate and donut and bit of baby shopping.
