do you feel attractive or unattractive during your pregnancy?

somedays, i feel great about myself, and others days, i feel so unattractive..

its not my body...i love my belly. it's more about my hair being dry and frizzy, i feel like my face is blah sometimes, i've been having dark circles under my eyes,
and it doesnt help that i hate maternity clothes!! i hate how shirts fit me! some are so dumpy looking!


how do you feel about yourself?

Re: do you feel attractive or unattractive during your pregnancy?

My belly and body I'm fine with (par for the course)...But this acne thing is for the birds and it doesnt help that I recentLy got the WORST haircut in my life, so I am patiently sitting here waiting for it to grow out Chat Icon

I feel very attractive although my body has been very good to me during my pregnancy. I also made a point to shop for any maternity clothing I wanted, get routine mani/pedi and my hair done all throughout...

Re: do you feel attractive or unattractive during your pregnancy?

definitely depends on the day...got some maternity jeans yesterday and i am wearing them today so i feel a little better but i have to agree the choice of maternity clothes doesnt make the situation any better

Re: do you feel attractive or unattractive during your pregnancy?

I agree with the others that it depends on the day. Some days I feel like a hag. My skin has been hit or miss and my hair which was already thick is ridiculous. When I have the energy to make an effort I've felt really good though.

I must say...for all it's comments I do love the belly!

Re: do you feel attractive or unattractive during your pregnancy?

Most of the time I feel great, although sometimes I feel huge. Last night DH and I had things to do after work and ended up going to TacoHell for dinner, I felt disgusting and huge for the rest of the night. I know it was just one meal, but for some reason it didn't sit well.

Re: do you feel attractive or unattractive during your pregnancy?

I feel totally unattractive! I blame this mostly on how sick I feel due to morning sickness.

My skin is awful. I haven't been to a nail salon for over a month. My hair has only been tied up in a ponytail or bun. Normally I would be out shopping for trendy fall clothing but instead I sit home puking and in bed.

I feel like a fat old lady. Chat Icon

Re: do you feel attractive or unattractive during your pregnancy?

I feel very attractive, equally as before but a tad more in a different way. My skin looks great, I only have a clearly baby belly (it's very big!), and I feel really alive. I don't even feel like I am as big as I am, until I look in a mirror.

I am very surprised, never thought I would feel this good about myself at 29 weeks pg! I have raging hormones, so that makes me feel good also. My Dh finds the changes in my body attractive, which feels nice also. And people in general have nothing but nice things to say. I am being told I am carrying "very nicely" and that "pg suits me well", both shockers to me! So far so good!

Re: do you feel attractive or unattractive during your pregnancy?

my body as a whole I feel fine about, but I guess i feel unnattractive because my hair looks like crap, my skin is DISGUSTING and I feel like my skin color is not right. Though we went out for dinner a couple of weekends ago and DH said I looked more beautiful to him than he'd ever seen me, completely unprovoked. So that made me feel good. Chat Icon

I love it! I've been very blessed....i'm carrying all in the belly and haven't had any skin or hair issues. The only thing I hate is the stretch marks..but they are growing on me a bit...battle scars for my babies lol.

I agree. I have spent a lot on maternity clothes, but IMO, it makes a huge difference. I feel very good in my clothes. I also still put on makeup, shave my legs, get manis/pedis, brows etc. My dr. said I gained too much weight, but I don't feel it and I get a lot of compliments on how I am "carrying." Overall, I feel very good, though there have been entire WEEKS where I was Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon about my appearance.

Re: do you feel attractive or unattractive during your pregnancy?

I love being pregnant, but definitely feel unattractive. I'm fine with my belly--I think that's cute. But my hair has been nasty the entire pregnancy, and the rest of me has grown so much. My arse is huge. My legs totally disgust me. They are getting big and losing muscle tone (I used to work out a lot, and had to stop at 16 weeks. I was able to start working out again at about 28 weeks, but by then I didn't have the energy or drive), and my calves/cankles are really depressing. I accept it though, and am eager to get back into shape post-pregnancy.

I am only 10 weeks so my body hasn't changed all that much yet. I am not happy about the breakouts on my face and the facial hair is growing at werewolf pace!!

Blessed! The days that I feel gross I remind myself how lucky I am to be in this position Chat Icon But generally I have been lucky with no stretchmarks, swelling, skin problems etc....
