Feeling ugly

I know I can't be the only one, but I'm 36 weeks & I have outgrown every piece of maternity clothing & sweatpants I own and I'm having the hardest time with how much my body has changed. I just want to feel cute again. I don't even like to be seen, I feel like I just want to hide from the world. I just feel ugly & huge. Is anyone else dealing with this as well?

I feel the same but ladies we are all  beautiful inside and out regardless of not doing our hair and make up, and regardless of the weight gain and stretch marks. Making babies are hard jobs!!!i think we all look pretty damn good considering what our bodies have\are going through :)

I've heard if you are having a girl you will feel that way cause she's "stealing your beauty"

13 days PP and I definitely feel ugly. Having a hard time accepting my body right now, like another lady said going from 120-160 *****! I lost 10 lbs but that's nothing still 30 pounds to go till I'm my pre pregnancy weight but even then I'll probably still have a tummy and crazy stretch marks

I know my husband has to get tired of hearing me complain about how I look. It's hard going from 120 lbs to 170. I used to dress up & do my makeup all the time and I feel like I'll never get back to feeling good about myself.
