The Ugly of Pregnancy

Week 19. Pregnancy #2.

I swear I feel like an ugly blimp.

My face is breaking out but I can't use some acne treatments because of certain ingredients. Can't leave the house without makeup.

My non materinity shirts that I swore would be stretchy enough to cover me til the third trimester are now all short.

My prepregnancy clothes still fit, but my outfit choices are either a hit or miss. Maternity clothes are super and ridiculously priced.

My mood swings are treacherous, mostly ending up in tears. And once I'm calm, I end up looking stoned due to the eye puffiness and redness.

When I'm at the gym I see these skinny non pregnant girls and wish I had a plate of fatty, greasy food to feed them.

Everyday tasks are becoming twice as hard to do.

I'm clumsy enough as it is when I'm not pregnant imagine how it is now.

My "pregnancy brain" is rearing it's ugly head making me forget the simplest things. I feel stupid.

When people see me, they gush and say, "you're so biiig!" like it's supposed to be a compliment. Depending on my mood, I want to tell them to "fuck off".  It's true, you may be talking about my belly, but please, do all pregnant women out there a favor, be specific. But on other days, its' cool (mood swings, remember?).

I have a hard time breathing when I lay on my back.

Lastly, Round ligament pain, you can go fuck yourself.


Grrrr...
