I dont want to leave the house anymore.

[Lydiarose]

Because i am getting very upset with the looks and stares im getting off people.

It took me about an hour just to try and make myself look half decent today and i was only nipping to the shop i have put on about 3stone ive gone from an 8 to a 14 at a squuze and my stretch marks are really really awful . . . and i am very very big for my dates

I spent ages crying to my mom because nothing would fit me even size 14 joggers felt to tight.

Anyway i walked up to sainsburys and every single person who walked past stared at me some really really judgemental nasty looks i really had to hold my tears in to the point i was biting my cheeks.

Whenever im with dan i never ever get any looks but when im on my own i get the most horrendous looks from people i ALWAYS give them a dirty stare back for atleast 2minutes but today i just wanted to cry.


Theres one paticular woman who works in sainsburys who ALWAYS stares i can see her out the corner of my eye then when i look back she puts her head down every single fucking time and i am at the end of my teather what does she think im going to do steal somthing???!!

One of these days i really really am going to say somthing to somone.

I am 18 and that may be the reason but i dont even look paticully young for my age at all infact i look quite abit older espeically when with dan as hes 22.

Im at home crying again because of it its really really upsetting me.

I feel so judged and looked down on every time i go out . . .

[kodi]

aww hun
im sorry you're not having an easy time, its easy to ignore them but i know how you feel - although your hormones probably arent' helping and are making you more paranoid about yourself, i know mine are lately....
i too have gone from about a 10 and im wearing size 14-16 atm because i've put on alot of weight on my thighs and hips especially and nothing smaller will go up...it suckss x

 

[samface182]

hold your head up high! f**k what they think!

xxxx

 

[Jadelm]

I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy hun xxx

 

[GemmaLeanne]

hey hun,
im 18 and pregnant too, iv been getting almost as screwed up as you and im barely showing at all yet. i think its because of the fact that alot of people are under the impression that teens should not have babies.
it really shouldnt matter what other people think though i guess, as hard as this might seem at the time. what weve got to remember is to be the better person and hold ur head up high. were goin to feel like the centre of attention for a while wether its for good or bad reasons, so gta take the bad with the good and think its all goin to be worth it in the long run.
the joys of motherhood i guess!
if u ever need any1 to chat to feel free talk to me
xxx keep ur chin up

People are crappy. Don't let it get to you because karma'a a b***h for those kinda people

 

[MissMamma]

I bet you don't look anywhere near as bad as you say you do! Us girlies are always our own harshest critics. These people are obviously not worth the shit i just had to scrape off my shoe [people really need to learn to clean up after their dog] so don't let them get to you, just walk past with your head held high. You're carrying a beautiful baby after all and it will all be worth it in the end
Lots of hugs and i hope you feel better soon hun..xx

 

[totallyashley]

Aww hun I know what you mean as I am a young and young looking 18 year old. I can sometimes get over the stares at let it all pass me but sometimes when my horomones are high I get really upset. Don't let you get you down as who are they to judge? Most are probably jealous too!
Also everyone gets big. It is part of being pregnant. Try coco butter on your strech marks. It works amazingly for me. Got rid of them all.

 

[newmommy23]

I get a lot of crap when I'm alone too. When I'm with Elie not even one look! People suck.

 

[bbyno1]

awwh
i get the exact same!im 21 but look about 16 litrally..not only that when im with my OH i dont get any looks..as if they are thinking aw least shes stil with the father or something then when im alone i get soo many dirty looks as if to say oh single n pregnant sorta thing n i only feel confident when im out with him now...i hate going out alone but at the end of the day who really cares what they think?
let them give you looks but just smile and walk with your head up high and proud even if you do feel like rubbish...dont let them think that their looks are bothering you..
we got much more to worry about,that some stuck up people looking down on us ..xx

 

[kandyfloss]

Hey

1. I like never post but 2. I work in a shop and when people come in who are pregnant I ALWAYS stare at them, mostly because I cant wait to be showing, so think positive and hope most of them are either admiring you or being jealous. Not everyone is a moody old snob lol

xxx

 

[rainbows_x]

I get this too, especially when I am on my own, as I am quite unconfident anyway.
When I am with OH I get no looks as he is 28 & I guess they presume I'm older, but when I am on my own I get the most filthy looks.
Sometimes people look to admire, I find myself looking at other pregnant girls now, wondering how far along they are lol.
But try not to let it get to you, be proud of you little one, big

xxx

 

[Marlarky]

Stick your nose and walk confident. Show them you dont care what they think!! Good luck chica!!

 

[Youngling]

I know how u feel. Im huge now, all the weight has gone to my bum and thighs. literally the only thing i can wear now is leggings, nothing else fits me. Its depressing.
It makes me feel worse when i see pics of me pre preg as I looked so good (at the time though i thought i was fat still)!!
The looks im used to now, even though im 21. I think sometimes people just like looking a pregnant women, I used to do it all the time, still do actually
xx

I'm sorry you have to experience this.

My first pregnancy was when i was 23, and i looked really young, been mistaken for a 16yr old. I got a lot of dirty looks too. I even had a ~17 yr old rudely say 'how old are you?!' i shouted i'm 23!!!! made him shutup. I cried for about 2 months after that incident.

Thing is there are alot of arseholes out there, try not to let them get you down ( i know, hard with pg hormones. ). Chin up xxx hope you feel better soon

Next time you see that woman is sainsbury's, go up to her and just stand and stare at her for 10mins. Take an mp3 player with you, will help pass the time quicker. If she asks what you're doing, tell her you're returning the favour!
