really depressed

[acline93]

So my mom dragged me out shopping earlier, and I got really depressed because she was like "ooooh april, get these jeans!" or "You should get that shirt" whenever I can't fit into any of the clothes that she was talking about!! I left the store with a new bra and a few new pairs of panties, and feeling like a totally lard bucket. I know I should feel "beautiful" or whatever but I really don't, I even noticed white stretch marks this morning on my stomach, and my body just looks so gross. Sorry to vent to you guys, I'm just kind of depressed. I've always been the pretty curvy girl, but it seems like my curves are a bit out of control now :(

Dido. Gained 57 lbs so far, I feel to big to move. My cheeks are chipmunk status & I ripped my favorite VS pj pants :*( lol. I couldn't afford maternity clothes I chose to go all out on my stuff so now I'm starting not to fit in my hubby's clothes!!! 3 more weeks!!! Then it's zumba & diet for me... until then bring on the cookies.

Shoot I refuse to clothe shop with how big I'm getting. At around 7 or 8 weeks I had to start wearing sweats. I don't fit into anything anymore. And just be glad y'all don't have twins.  I didn't know my belly could get so big so fast.  I was a small girl with larger boobs and my tummy had never been bigger than my boobs.  Now my boobs look small.  At 10 weeks I was bigger than my sis who was 20 weeks. It's insane. But girls lets rock our baby bumps :)

i totally understand what you mean...I feel like a whale too ugh.  I hate shopping for clothes so I just go online to Old Navy - I feel like nothing fits right and doesnt look good.  Sorry to hear so many of us feel the same way bc we should feel beautiful, being pregnant is a beautiful miracle :)

I agree worth Jenny. I refuse to shop until I've had the baby and started losing the weight. I was chatting to a couple guys at work today, and I said I can't wait till I have my body back (meaning lay on my tummy etc not just be slim again) and he said neither can we, we are sick of looking at you like that. So I feel your pain. But you beautiful boy will be worth it :)

This is my fifth pregnancy. I know how u feel. I dont wanna have sex i dont wanna go out i just wanna lay im bwd

[mrsnelson2010]

I totally understand. 38 weeks +2 here and i was disgusted looking in the mirror after my shower last night. Ive got purple stretch marks all over my belly i feel like an oompa loompa with an oversized belly! My shirts dont fit and hubby is always making comments about pull ur shirt down and laughing because my belly is so big. :( i know he means well but its depressing!

Just keep thinking its only temporary! Eventually it will all be over and all be worth it!

Lol I'd really like so too, but lately something always happens to ruin the moment (cough...my crying...cough)

[acline93]

lol that's just what I need, some nookie

[Spacemonkey3x]

I know exactly how you feel. I have so many people telling me I'm huge and what not, well duh...I'm 34 wks! And it doesn't help that I've always measured 4-5 wks ahead due to excess fluids. Just the other day my hubby came home from work early in the morning and woke me up in a very sweet and sensual kind of way (if you catch my drift), but we didn't get around to having nookie because just knowing that he still found me attractive bought me to tears. Lol damn these hormones!

[elizabethhhkitty]

i was always really curvy too but like nice curve now its like fat and it makes me very sad too but you have to remember your not fat your pregnant and the weight comes off soo easy afterward especially if you breastfeed so keep looking on and youll have your body back an a cute new baby soon:)

[acline93]

haha yeah, I'll take the extra stretch marks for my little boy anyday, but still, clothes shopping is NO BUENO.

[jessicaann21]

I hate looking at my closet full of cute clothes that don't fit me anymore. It literally makes me cry sometimes. And I just hate the way my body looks sometimes. And my boyfriend tries to make me feel better but I am completely convinced anything he says is a lie and he's trying me make me feel better. But you shouldn't feel bad Bout yourself and neither should any of us, what we're doing being pregnant is beautiful enough, and we get something beautiful out of it.

[FTM2913]

Lol omg i did the same thing!! Best prego buy ever! Haha

[acline93]

I live in my sweats, literally. When I found out I was pregnant, I went straight to walmart and bought 3 new pairs of sweats, and I wear them daily lol

[FTM2913]

I feel you girl! Definitely not alone on that. Just today i was crying to my fiance bc nothing fits me right and all i want to wear is sweats. He said ill buy you some new clothes and that made me cry more lol. He probably thought i was crazy, but i definitely dont want to go shopping. That will make me feel worse. Ill stick to my sweats as long as i can lol.

[Cyn_henderson]

Oh man....i know how you feel

[jennylynn198817]

I refuse to shop for clothing until after I have my son I don't even look ...I am thick naturally and haven't really gained any weight my stomach is just hard and round and there's moments when I find my self just bursting in to tears but then I think to my self I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant who cares I have a little man inside me that has made everything worth it stretch marks are battle scars of what you been through but be proud of it because in the end its will be so worth it plus is rather spend money on cute little things for him then anything for my self......try getting your hair cut try something new and bold get a mani pedi little things like that will make you feel great..

[acline93]

haha thanks. And then it makes everything worse when certain family members say "oh why don't you fix your hair or makeup anymore?" or the classic "you look ROUGH!" comment. like no crap, I know I look rough, I'm growing a baby, I'm throwing up at least twice a day, I'm tired all the time, and I cry like a baby all the time.

[soon2bmamma]

Haha a few people that know I'm pregnant are like uhh you sure there's just one? But back to your vent, just stay positive and remember at least you have an excuse to be getting a big belly :)

[Kimejo_81]

Oh girl I feel your pain! I absolutely HATE clothes shopping while pregnant. Cuz nothing fits and I just cry. I feel fat & ugly and disgusting,  I'm 16+4 and look 6 mo pregnant! I just feel nasty.....I'm a bigger curvy girl too and today I noticed I have back boobs!!! (Love handles) I cried abt that too! But I keep trying to remind myself I am growing a baby and am beautiful, you too acline are beautiful no matter how many extra curves or lbs.

[acline93]

haha I was convinced it was twins too, but nope, it's just one little boy making his mommy SO fat. :(

[maybaby19]

Gahhh me too girl...I get so depressed even thinking about shopping :( I found little white stretch marks on my love handles and almost cried... Ive always been curvy with a super tiny waist, and now I almost have no waist :'(

[soon2bmamma]

Depressing...not dressing lol

[soon2bmamma]

SAME! had to go clothes shopping for my work Christmas party & it was super dressing...also have always been curvy but now I'm curving in allll the wrong ways lol I'm only 11w3d and I'm getting more and more convinced it's twins cause I am getting BIG!
