I felt the same way you do in the beginning of my pregnancy. Before I had a noticeable bump I just felt like I put on a few pounds and looked "chubby". After I started to show around 16wks then I started to feel pretty and cute again. Now, I'm 36wks and I still feel beautiful even though my belly is huge. It's normal to go through that phase, don't worry. Congrats on your little one :)

I think you go back and forth, honestly. I totally remember your stage. my mom bought me "Im not fat, I'm pregnant" socks because I felt so awkward. Some days you just glow in the beauty of carrying your baby around with you everywhere. Sometime you will find a dress or outfit that really accentuates your belly and you will love the way you look and feel in it. Buy it in 2 different colors because you do want to savor the days when you feel at one with nature and the rest of the world. Lucky girl!!

even though i gained a lot of weight with my first (a boy) i felt radiant. i felt beautiful, i was glowing, my hair was phenomenal and just overall i had a great experience.

my second however (a girl) i gained about half the weight i did with my first but feel like a big, fat sausage. my hair is dry and brittle, my skin looks like crap and i just feel big all over, even though i'm carrying all out in front (again).

i don't know if it has something to do with the sex of the baby but it just goes to show, every pregnancy is different!

I'm inbetween. Some days I feel "glowing" and other days I'm like ugh lets not look at me haha.

But my acne actually cleared up. But I understand the 10week ughh days haha.

when i was pregnant i felt pretty maybe for the first 7 months. i didnt gain much weight and was all belly. but after the 7th month i felt like a fat whale who just wanted to be skinny again even though i had only gained 27 lbs..for me it got better immeditaly after giving birth but i still felt pretty bad.

I feel i look uglier.

This is my first pregnancy

I have massive stretch marks forming on my stomach

im 28 weeks.

And my boyfriend is not making me feel any more better either lol

we hardly have sex anymore cause he is never in the "mood" :(

He does compliment me though

i'm 21 weeks with my first, and it depends on the day for me. if i do my hair, then for the most part i feel a little pretty but other than that, i find it hard for me to think of myself pretty and i think of myself as ugly. my husband tries to reassure me but sometimes i don't believe him and it makes me feel worse.

I feel that I look like crap!! My adult acne has gotten worse and it isnt just my belly getting bigger. My butt is getting out of control!

I think other pregnant people look pretty.

I think I look awful, I never had spots until I got pregnant lol how is that fair?

You probably look better to other people but maybe its just our hormones making us think we are ugly.

Good luck xxx

don't feel ugly! :)

pregnant women are very beautiful in this stage and every one of them :)

enjoy your pregnancy!
