Feeling Fat......

[Blue321]

It's been a while. I've been real busy in life with no time for distraction. I'm now 33 weeks! Wow!

But I feel like a heffer.... not Hugh Heffner, of Playboy fame, but rather like a great big cow. Mooo. We went to Barcelona for a break over Easter - the best, best time! So sunny and beautiful and I felt nice and happy in my new maternity wardrobe with a tan to boot. Then the photos. OMG. Carefully edited by hubby, I still had to ask the question "Have you used the iphone fat app on me babe?". This is a question no woman wants to ask. Pregnant or not. Ever. And the answer she doesn't wish to hear, however quietly it is said is "No, of course not". Urgh.

I'm totally serious, I have no idea how it's happened. I can handle the body thing, it's just my face. My jaw seems to have expanded beyond all measure. My cheeks are the size of a bull terrier's. Seriously, what the use of inner beauty if your face can't show it.

That's it, no more photos. And I may take down some mirrors.

Lol I felt like a fat head and my nose seemed to grow when I was pregnant with my girls. Horrible looking in the mirror.. I've put on a stone already. now and was a stone overweight.. so gutted I'm going to be huge especially if it's a girl. .I put on more weight with my daughters than my sons .. u have got a nice tan that must make u feel betterand not too much longer im fat and pale and pasty lol. . Gotta look at the positives. .

I'm in the South of France at the moment - feeling equally hideous! Went swimming yesterday - felt lucky not to have been harpooned!!

I think I'm getting there lol your blog made me laugh, lol cheeks like a bull terrier ha ha. I'm a week behind you and I've found it sooo difficult seeing my weight creep back up after loosing 2 and a bit stones.. I know what's coming bloating happens to us all in the last few weeks of pregnancy so I'm going too moo too lol. Get shut of the mirrors and when baby arrives apparently breast feeding takes it all away tummy goes dead quick and bloating goes completely.

Oh no, not more bloating!! I am already constantly checking my hands to see if my face is not the first sign of odema... nothing so far. From what you've said, at least it's going to go though! Hopefully the breastfeeding will shift it along. I'm really excited about breast-feeding, it just seems so practical, no need for loads of stuff or being organised about sterilisation etc. Being encouraged to spend some time at home out of a bra sound like my idea of heaven too.

lol this made me laugh, I have just come to the conclusion tht I have become a bit more chunkier for a good reason (even if no-one else shares my opinion) and I hav just thought i wont have an excuse to become like this often, i actually look pregnant now rather than fat and i have had so many people say to me how much pregnancy suits me and my skin is so much btr. I am sure your face is fine and just think all this is for a little bundle of joy in months to come, i just think a bit of extra fat and a sore back and stuff is nothing when i can have my baby!! xx

This made me laugh....have you been over eating or not?

I am well going for it seen as I am not drinking, anything to keep the wine pang at bay. So far only put on 5lbs on but it is slowly creeping up. My midwife tried to reassure me it might be water but I am not to sure.
