Anyone feeling pretty during their pregnancy? Did you feel icky before & now feel like you're glowing?
I went through this last time, if I recall correctly.
Stage 1 - hideousness. Breakout central. Crappy hair. Felt bloated and fat.
Stage 2 - Minor improvements here and there.
Stage 3 - great skin & great hair all of a sudden...sparkling eyes.
I always believe it has something to do with those prenatal pills...
I'm just glad I don't want to hide in a burlap bag anymore! 
Anyone else experience a sudden change of beauty or improvements?

Re: Anyone feeling pretty during their pregnancy? Did you feel icky before & now feel like you're glowing?
I felt like a bloated moose my first trimester-which was the whole summer (I got my BFP in the beginning of June)..The bloating plus those heat waves were awful!
My 2nd tri I felt GREAT, I felt like I looked great-wore heels/platforms every day and felt like my bump was on display proudly..
3rd tri-I feel and look LARGE and IN CHARGE. Now I understand that scene in the movie Juno when she says "I'm a Planet!!!!!!!!!!"

I hope I do soon. I haven't felt pretty since my first trimester but I'm hoping I feel better about myself soon. There was one occasion this month I felt great; maybe it will become more frequent?!?!? I hope...

I always feel best when I'm not wearing something that's super loose. Seems like it would be the other way around but wearing a more fitted maternity shirt, leggings or skinny jeans and knee high boots makes me feel good. When I'm in my husband's pajamas and old tshirt, like I am right now, I feel like a beast!

This was how I could describe me when I was pregnant with my son. This time I am still waiting for the glowing to start!!

this works for me too! I always feel the best in fitted clothing!!!!! I love all of my skinny jeans/ leggings the best!!!!! I think it's something about the bump! I love showing it!!!!!

Re: Anyone feeling pretty during their pregnancy? Did you feel icky before & now feel like you're glowing?
First tri I felt and looked horrible. Since the second tri started I've been feeling beautiful. It helps that I've lost weight in my face, arms, and thighs  but I just feel like I look amazing. DH laughs because I was always just a run out the door looking like whatever type of person before, but now I primp - even if we're just going to CVS or something.

Re: Anyone feeling pretty during their pregnancy? Did you feel icky before & now feel like you're glowing?
what a difference a day can make....
up until yesterday, the bloat was just getting worse by the day, and in just a matter of days the scale jumped, and I have been so tired....
but today, OMG the bloat has subsided - the numbers on the scale WENT DOWN!!! and I don't feel like I need a nap....
and yes I feel better too in my more fitted clothes - rather than a moomoo...LOL
My first PG I felt great and pretty the whole time (except when breaking out and comments were made...)

Re: Anyone feeling pretty during their pregnancy? Did you feel icky before & now feel like you're glowing?
I never felt I looked terrible w/ Sean - fat and bloated, yes - but once I got the belly I was fine.
w/ this one, I feel like my face looks different -

I'm not pregnant anymore, but as much as I hated my third pregnancy, I felt so much more attractive when pregnant. I am very flat with a stick figure regularly, but I love the curves I get from pregnancy, including the boobies

Re: Anyone feeling pretty during their pregnancy? Did you feel icky before & now feel like you're glowing?
i am crashing but i feel like i look horrible now that i am not pregnant anymore (mc)
i felt like garbage the first 9 weeks but i looked GREAT. my eyes were really tired looking but my hair was always great, my skin was always great - i was glowing. my husband and mom commented on it all the time and when i look at photos that were taken during that time i can see that i look different...
the way i look now - ohh god, i want to put a bag over my head i am pale, my eyes are always dark, i have some acne now, i look a wreck!

Re: Anyone feeling pretty during their pregnancy? Did you feel icky before & now feel like you're glowing?
I feel ok. Hair and skin are very good. Nails-split like always like before. Because I feel like a bloated pig all the time, I feel ugly. Other people don't think I am at all, but hey I am the one that looks in the mirror you know!

Re: Anyone feeling pretty during their pregnancy? Did you feel icky before & now feel like you're glowing?
Nope....not this time around. With DD I felt great and beautiful. My hair was awesome, skin was amazing....not this time. I feel gross, exhausted, and totally fugly by the end of each day. I told DH he could leave me the other day and go find someone more beautiful but to be back by our scheduled C.

Re: Anyone feeling pretty during their pregnancy? Did you feel icky before & now feel like you're glowing?
Not me - I feel totally fat. The only thing that helps is that at almost 17w I have only gained 2 pounds, so I know it is bloat, but I feel so fat and ugly - especially in my face.
