Not feeling pretty.

This is my first pregnancy and I'm disgusted with the way I look. I know pregnant women are expected to gain weight, etc but with my face breaking out, hair being difficult on top of the weight gain, I could just curl into a ball and cry all day. I know I'm a ball of hormones right now but I can't seem to shake this funk. Any other mommies feel this way?

I'm the same way. I want to cry when I see other pregnant women look all pretty and cute with a baby bump cuz I feel all frumpy and ugly. I feel like I look fat even tho it's a noticeable baby bump. I'm 36+6. I think it's all the excess hormones

I'm barely starting and I already don't feel the same, on top of it all I'm already a big girl so that just makes me that much more insecure :/ grr
