I'm 35 weeks and 5 days and feel exactly the same. Im a very small build and this is the first time in my life I've ever been over 50 kgs. None of my old clothes come close to fitting me and it feels like no matter how hard I try to look good, I never really do.

Although the other week I went on a big shopping spree for me in the first time in what seems like an eternity, I brought a pile of nice clothes, shoes, make up. Got my hair done and nails, went out to a fancy restaurant with some of my girl friends and I must say that it has made me feel so much better about my self.

I feel the same. This is my second pregnancy and even thought my weight gain is minimal, I feel like a big beached whale. I I wear a XS petites in maternity wear, but I feel so unattractive, lumpy and huge. I have decided to make an active effort to not focus on how I feel too much right now because I am due in less than 6 weeks and I know once I heal, I can return to working out and toning up my body once again. I try to remind myself that right now my body is changing since I am pregnant and all that matters daily is a healthy baby, not my personal security on my butt size. I have good days and bad with the insecurity.
