feeling down today

[nmf1987]

been feeling abit rubbish for a while but today i feel really rubbish.

don't get me wrong i love being pregnant and love my bump but...

the rest of me is disgusting. iv'e put on so much weight. the tops of my legs have dark red stretch marks, i feel ugly (never felt greatly attractive anyway) and am really worried that oh is gonna wonder what the hell he is doing with me.

i feel really self concious about even going out cos feels like people are looking at me.

i know i need to expect some weight gain it's going to happen but i am normally a size 8-10 and now im having to wear 12-14. really struggling.

hate feeling like this. sorry for long post.

anyone know of any exercises that i can maybe do during pregnancy. xxxx

Oh lovely I am feeling the.same.at.the moment. But just.remember your.body gains.fat due to pregnancy that it uses.afterwards
Or that's what I keep telling myself. Lol. X x

I'm sorry you feel down hun *hugs*. I have self - esteem issues myself that come from being bullied badly as a teenager. I feel ok at the moment about myself, but I know it can be really hard when you have an off day.

I'm sure your OH doesn't wonder what he is doing with you, and 12 - 14 isn't big at all! Stretch marks fade too. Exercises you can do are walking, swimming and pregnancy yoga.

I hope you feel better soon. Go for a walk in the sun. The sun always makes you feel better and walking will release feel good endorphins.

awww honey...sorry you're feeling so rubbish. If it's any consolation I think lots of us have days like that. My thighs have turned into tree trunks but less pretty and I now have cellulite to rival a sumo wrestler! Just remember it's fat stores to support you and little one when they arrive.



Feel free to rant anytime sweet.

popped in from tri 2, feel like all mi buddies av gone

im feeling crap, right out of the blue(thought id been coping well) just fed up of fighting to av a poo hahaa sstmi, feeling tired low an down, when i look in mirror i question weather this baby is grownin in my belly or ass its gone that big haha

lil lads up 3 times a night, then im up avin a pee every other hour an coz i cant get confey

OH is as much use as, god knows, trying to talk to him at mo is like nailing jelly to a treeeeeee, i just feel like he hasnt a clueeeeeeeeeeeeee so much so he at last min has decided to go on a mtor bike weekend with his 3 year old dd, didnt even offer for me to come!! (hes not riding just driving a friend up as hes has shows)
then as an after thought (musst of felt guilty) offered to take my son knowing full well im very protective of him n wouldnt let him go, then mi mums in hozzy over weekend so im pretty much stuck in doing nothing with my son as just moved!

then he tells me hes got a stag do on 25th June haha im due on 4 july only if i have vbac if i have section it will be 27th july ish, i just think hes a joke at moooooo

anyway rant over, hahaaahaahh happy days x

 

[smess26]

Oh and.stretch marks.do go lovely
They fade. I have really bad.ones.all over. My.boob from dd abd they have.faded x x

 

[nmf1987]

thanks all. i know 12-14 isn't big and iv'e gained about a stone which people have said isn't too bad but just feel rubbish.

everyone just keeps saying eat healthy which is easy to say and im trying, having fruit salad and veg etc as much as possible but i don't finish work until 8 most nights so like last night i didn't have dinner until 10. which by then it doesn't matter what you eat it is so late at night my body can't be digesting it normally.

ergh hate feeling like this. anyway i can just send my beautiful bump out and keep the rest hidden in the cupboard. xxx

Ah babe. Sorry you're feeling crap. You'll be surprised at how your body will probably ping back into shape if you were that little before. It did for me the first time (dunno about this time!)

I have crap days too and my OH always says every tiny thing I don't like about myself due to pregnancy make him love me more as they're signs of what I've given him, a beautiful boy and another on the way. Now even if he is secretly repulsed and vomits in the wardrobe when my backs turned, I don't know but the fact he says that makes me feel better. I'm sure your OH feels the same as he wouldn't have had a baby with you! I bet you look lovely but just don't know it. You'll have ur body back soon darlin.

Nadine; sometimes men need a good round of slaps!!! Stag weekend? Just before ur due?? My OH would probably get poked in the eye just for bringing it up! Sometimes it takes a big huge dramatic melt down for them to get the point! Mine wants to go on a stag do in Malaga or something like that but it's about a month after Jaiden's due. The whole stage thing is a WEEK!! so he came up with a compromise to go on a Fri and fly back Sunday. I think that's fair if all is plain sailing with little man. Have a stern word babe. It'll only build up then you'll explode venom all over him! Big kisses for you and Remy and hope Mum is OK xxx

just thought its my birthday next friday so might go and get my hair done or something before i go for my 4d scan. can you still get your hair coloured during pregnancy. i know people do but have always been told to steer clear.

not sure if you saw post in tri 2 booked a 4d scan for my bday on the 1st. just me and my 2 men on my bday perfect. xxx

 

[wishuponastar]

Wow that's amazing, what a lovely birthday you'll have!!!

Yes get yourself pampered! My hairdresser said that highlights or lowlights are fine cos they don't come into contact with your skin.

Awww, that's something to look forward to! I get y hair chemically straightened and that's the same as colouring and it's fine. Double check with your midwife though but I just did it anyway after 12 weeks it was looking like a wild bush fire!

 

[cherelle]

Aww im sure the scan will cheer you up And getting my hair done always me feel fab - im well overdue a cut too.

I dont think a stone is much at all!! I wish i could have only gained a stone!! I was also a 8/10 before and i have gained 2 and a half stone!!!!!

My OH is a fitness freak and is in the gym for at least 2 hours every day so i have to walk hand in hand with this gorgeous muscley god like figure next to my flabby bloated dimply ass It did depress me for a while but im over it now - i know i can lose it once my little one is born so theres no point in letting it get me down now.

Chin up!

Ooooh also - on the subject of stag dos, my OH is hoping to go on his mates stag do on 10th June for one of those party weekender things at Butlins! Baby will be about 2 weeks old if i have him around my due date :-s Not sure im happy with it yet! x

I still relax my hair too - i feel so bad doing it but i just cant leave it looking wild!

 

[pinkymum]

I think pampering yourself on your birthday is a great idea

Hope you feel a little brighter soon sweetheart!

Doesn't it just make you feel so much better? More human like! Lol

 

[heidi-hi]

Aww Nmf I know how your feeling, I've been great most of the way through, but the last few days have been horrible. Started to get more stretch marks on my belly, I know they will fade but I seriously think my bikini days are over. My boobs are growing lots and look veiny??? Like I can see the bluey veins! And well the celulite... Yuk!

On a brighter note I'm sure your oh won't be wondering that at all, I know what u mean though coz I feel like that sometimes too but I think it's more coz of the distance thing... I need constant compliments at the mo hahaha!

Ooo your birthday is the 1st mine is the 2nd! And our babies are due like one day apart! Chin up mate, things can only get better, even if they do get a bit worse first.

Xxxx

 

[smess26]

Lovely we need to meet up... x x

 

[heidi-hi]

Oh yeah... Swim! Might be difficult depending on your work hours but between all my uni work I'm still managing to swim 3 times a week, it makes u feel great. Even if my hair does feel like and sometimes look like straw! xxxx
