Anyone else found this?

Last night we all went out for as family meal. I got ready and too be honest I felt ok about myself. I had on a pair of maternity skinny jeans, and a pretty maternity top with a little cardigan.

When I went round to my mum and dad's my sister had on a really nice dress (and looked really thin and attractive) and my brother's girlfriend had on a nice skirt and top. I instantly felt unattractive

I cope by not looking down!

Yes i feel like that you spend ages getting ready you look in the mirror and think cool i don't look to bad and feel really good and then you look at everyone else and they look slimmer and more attractive,

although when i'm pregnant i get bigger boobs so i wear something that shows it off (not too tarty) and everyone else gets jealous so then i feel better again

Aww Lindsay, I can sympathise with you too. I went out for a meal early March and I felt frumpy.

Our bodies change SO much during pregnancy, but it's all worth it in the end! x

I feel a bit like that at the moment because I'm in the inbetween stage of not having a bump but my tummy is definitely rounder.

I'm sure you looked fab though, there are such lovely maternity clothes out there now.

Thanks girls I did feel nice until I saw everyone else and when I went to the toilet I had a quick peek in the mirror and I thought that I looked nice for a PG lady it was more to do with the other skinny minins who were all dressed up looking glam

Bagpuss, you are right there is so much more out there now - more so than when we were PG last time!

I am going to a family wedding next month and I have got a gorgeous chocolate dress from Next to wear - hope it still fits and that I look ok then, I can feel that there will be another post before the big day

I can sympathise with you for sure It's like a contradiction - I love my pregnant shape but when I look at photos of myself with a flat stomach and at all the new summer clothes in the shops I get a bit nostalgic! But hey, I'm sure we'll all be yummy mummies and get our figures back v quickly xx

 

[MissSara]

I feel exactly the same but i guess you have the excuse of being pregnant and no matter what they haven't got what you have.....

I do look at skinny minnies now and feel a pang of jelousy, but then on the other hand i love my bump to pieces and love going out and showing it off.

 

[Steelgoddess]

I doubt u look unattractive hon

I think hormones have a large part to play I know what you mean though.

I bet you looked lush

I haven't yet properly shown off my bump yet. I keep wearing OH's hooded tops. Also I have put on extra weight - I wish I'd only put on bump weight. I hate having a bigger arse. I really hope it shrinks back through breastfeeding afterwards

 

[HideiLu]

Yep, I feel the same too!

We went for a meal last night with OHs friends. It's the first time they've seen me since before xmas. I was paranoid that his friends would comment that I was fat and fretted for a couple of days, especially as one was bringing his girlfriend who sure enough wore a skimpy little dress, clevage and all!

Thankfully they were all very nice and v interested in the baby, which I think pleased OH too as he gave my bump a kiss when we got home (first time he's done this!) xx

 

[Lindsay]

This is one of my problems too I worry about what people think especially about me having put on weight round the bum and legs area. Don't get me wrong I am loving being PG and really love my bump - alot more than I did last time round, I guess I need to take a chill pill

Aww the fatherly pride is kicking in!

 

[Miss.Monroe]

yep thats how i felt at my friends 21st birthday meal!

there were 12 of us. and i thought i looked alright, with my white linen trousers on an a maternity top, got out and i felt like an idiot. i had a picture taken, i looked at it and hated it. so i deleted it!

 

[x Naomi x]

I know how you feel hun, i just feel like an even fatter blob!

It doesnt help that i seem to be between on the leg sizes, a regular leg is ok but i feel like they dont cover my bum and am paranoid that i will be showing my crack! and a long, i need to wear about a two inch heel which isnt possible!

 

[angiemum2b]

yeah me and OH went out for a meal on saturday and i put a black smart top on looked in the mirror and throught i looked lovely, got in the pub and immediately felt unattractive!!!!

These hormones are doing my head in!!!

 

[abcd1234]

I feel attractive when i'm at home getting dressed, feel ok when i go out with my friend, get in to work and feel like a right fat mess!!!

I wore a realyl pretty floaty dress on sunday and couldnt find a jumper to fit my bump with it, the only thing that fitted ruined the whole thing and i looked like a potato on legs!!!! I hate it, i dont want to go out buying more jumpers but i cant carry on trying to wear jumpers that ride up over my bump!!
