Same here. I'm still at that point where I just look like I'm getting a fat stomach. Some people just stare at my belly as if they are wondering whether im pregnant or just fat, but they don't ask because it's just not obvious.

KellyBD I totally get what you're saying and I would happily put on more wait and feel uglier if I could guarentee a healthy baby- but you know what it's like when you just don't feel nice. How are you finding being pregnant with 6 month olds? We'd ideally like to have our next baby as soon as too XX

Exactly- could be pregnant, could be a bloat! No one is sure enough to assume yet!

Everyone is different. Before I got pregnant with my current baby I was a model and gogo dancer so to go from feeling beautiful all the time to feel like you just rolled out of bed no matter how much work you put into your appearance kind of sucks. Im a mom of a 1 year old but I still manage to be able to do my hair and nails (Im a hairdresser). I dont care what i look like to my girl if im just running around the house all day with no DH i wont do a damn thing to look good. But I like looking good for when he is home and whenever i go out (even if its just for dinner or going to the grocery store).

Hi Diva2010

To be honest I've found it ok so far. I was really poorly when expecting the twins it wasn't morning sickness or anything it was kinda like flu feeling, I was in bed every night for 7.30pm and slept till 7.30am then had to go to work which killed me. So far I've been alright, I'm shattered yea, the twins still wake a couple of times a night for feeds but I can get them to bed at 6.30pm and they don't wake till between 1.30am or 3.30am so I get some rest time.

Most people think I'm mental for getting pregnant again so quick, in all honesty this one wasn't planned but we are really happy about it and at least I get everything over and done with and don't have to start it all again 2-3 years down the line.

I know it feels bad when you look in the mirror and you feel dumpy etc but once you've got a profound bump I think you'll feel better. You do go through a glowing phase when you look really healthy I did in the summer, plus I went on hols and got a tan at 25 weeks and felt LOADS better It's hard when you start looking in the mirror and don't recognise the girl looking back but you'll get back to being you once baby is here. Chin up hunny having a big bump is ace, I missed mine when the twins arrived lol xx

I'm feeling pretty unattractive today. My belly is getting a lot bigger all of a sudden and I miss my waist and abs. I miss being able to take long, pain-free strides when I walk. I miss having clear skin. I get big cystic acne bumps along my jawline and cheeks now. I really just feel hideous. I need to learn how to embrace the sexiness of being a fertile, life-gestating goddess, but right now I'm just struggling to adapt to my constantly growing form.

Yup! I totally feel your pain. I broke down majorly about 3 weeks after photos from my cousin's bday dinner appeared from facebook. I knew I had gained weight but I didn't realise how much chubbier my face looked and how rounder I was in general. I called my mum and was crying on the phone for over an hour, she initially thought something really bad had happened. I am happy I had the cry though because I am now over it. Weight can always be lost after the baby is born, right now I have to focus on growing a healthy baby.

Krysti, I'm getting the same spots along the Jawline and on my cheeks- they are big and sore but don't ever come to anything, they just rumble there for weeks!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one feeling this way and im not alone in not loving my ever expanding figure!!
