Is anybody uncomfortable with their body?

I'm still trying to get used to the changes that my body is going through. It's like I'm going through that self-conscious teenage years stage again
I'm only 16 weeks, so I'm afraid that it's going to get worse! I guess it's hard for me right now because I don't really look pregnant yet. And that I'm not used to having boobs this size!

Re: Is anybody uncomfortable with their body?

I have kind of been this way. Only because I was always going to the gym before I got pregnant (due to that I needed to lose some weight), but ever since I became pregnant, I had to stop going to the gym, due to some complications in the beginning. But I just got the ok again.
But what has bothered me is the weight gain. I know it was going to happen, but I didn't think that I would gain so much already.

Re: Is anybody uncomfortable with their body?

I was very uncomfortable with my body, but I used to have to remind myself, how badly I wanted to be pregnant. And from my experience, my babies are 8 weeks old, and I have lost all of my baby weight. So just remember it is temporary, let yourself enjoy the changes your body is going through, it goes very fast, (sometimes it might not feel that way!) it really does.

Re: Is anybody uncomfortable with their body?

The gaining weight part doesn't really bother me because I expect that to happen. It's just this feeling that I have, which is the same self conscious feeling that I had when I was a teenager. Even though nobody can really see any changes in me, it just feels weird. Ugh, I wish it would just go away!

Re: Is anybody uncomfortable with their body?

I am uncomfortable with my body regardless of being PG. I was so terrified I was going to get HUGE all over and never be able to get rid of the weight....and here I am with nothing but a watermelon in my belly.

I have days where I feel good about how I look and days where I feel like a blimpo....

Im more worried about how I'll handle it after the birth and losing the weight! I have a wedding 3 months after the due date and I normally have self image issues

Re: Is anybody uncomfortable with their body?

I have always had self image issues too up until a couple years ago where I was finally at a weight and looked good to me. I have gained about 20lbs already at only 18 1/2 weeks, knowing i still have 1/2 my pg to go. I keep reminding myself how badly i want to be a mom and that it will all be worth it in the end. I am not just gaining weight for nothing, it's for the best gift/miracle god could give me.

Actually Im more comfortable with my body now than I have been in many many years. For once I dont feel pressured to be thinner. It's great.

Re: Is anybody uncomfortable with their body?

YES! I am SOOOOOOOOO uncomfortable. I just look FAT, so I'm feeling terribly embarrassed by how I look

Re: Is anybody uncomfortable with their body?

I don't feel good about how I look this time around. I broke out in vericose veins on my thighs and my hair is just sitting there flat lately and nothing seems to help it.
