Feel so disgusting??

Question

What can I do to feel better?? This pregnancy I have just felt so disgusting, ugly, and fat. I am just never comfortable, I am extremely hot all the time, my back hurts, and I have been craving junk, and even though I am keeping it to a minimum it still isn't helping.

Sorry to complain, I just want to feel even a little bit better, anyone have any suggestions?? I just don't think I can go on like this the rest of my pregnancy.

Answer 1

I'm sorry you feel so bad, I would suggest going out with some friends or even a quiet day by yourself and get pampered.  Or even go to lunch, then go out shopping for some maternity clothes that you feel good in and think you look good in.  The only way to overcome feeling bad about yourself is positive encouragement.  Maybe hint to your significant other that you need some special time with him or to yourself to make you feel better.  My husband was great about telling me constantly that I looked beautiful throughout my pregnancy (although I knew better).

As far as your back hurting, a heating pad worked really well for me.  I would put a pillow behind my back with a heating pad on it and lean back on it so it took the pressure off of my back as well as gave the heat which both made it feel better.  The junk food may be in your head but it is okay to give in a little bit or try to find a healthier alternative.  If you are craving chips, go with baked if you are craving candy try the sugar free kind.  If you don't like those than I say eat what you want but keep it to a minimum if you are worried about weight gain (although I think this is the one time in your life you can eat what you want :) )

I hope some of this might help or at least makes you feel better, you aren't alone and complaining is fine.

Answer 3

a pedicure can do wonders.  I remember feeling absolutely disgusting with my last pregnancy, and nothing helped me feel better than getting my feet pampered.  

Could also help to get yourself a nice new maternity outfit...something that you really love and would help you feel beautiful. (even if it's NOT on sale!)

Good Luck.

Answer 6

Your not alone im 38 weeks today and with my daughter i was happy and i never had any problems with her if it was not for the belly when i was pregnant with her i would have never known i was but with this little boy i have back pain, cant eat,never feel good and all the fun stuff i think i look so fat becuase i gained 10 more pounds with this little one then with my daughter i know how you feel, and its ok its all worth it in the end, Maybe go get a hair cut and color or your nails done or just try to take a day or hour for yourself to make you feel better  

Answer 7

Give yourself a spa day.  Go get your nails done, get a pedicure and your hair done.  You will feel a little better and the pampering helps you relax.  I would say go shopping but that just makes me upset right now too.  I'm 37 weeks so nothing fits, not even maternity clothes.  I'm going after my Dr appt on Fri to get my nails done and a Pedicure.  Just a little treat for myself before baby #3 gets here.

Answer 8

if hubby is unwilling to treat u to a spa like day then go to a spa. not only will they shower ur body with massages that r ok 4 u and baby, but u'll get all the mosuees loving support of how they wish they could be that beautiful when they get pregnant.
