Some days I feel great - I should say most days I feel great. However, today I just feel so unconfortable - I'm not sure if it has to do with what I'm wearing. Some days I just feel fat and my clothes bother me all day. I'm in my sixth month and I haven't gained a lot of weight but it's enough for me to feel unconfortable. Can anyone else relate to what I am talking about. I think it's the mat. pants - they have that big pouch in the front that I don't feel out and therefore, they just bother me all day. Just curious... is it the clothes? Yesterday, I wore a pair of pants that fit me perfect and they make me look (as slim as a 6th month preg. person can look) but I felt great.

Re: Does anyone else feel this way?
It is very difficult to feel comfortable in maternity clothes until your belly is large enough to fill them out. And, by the time that happens, you start to feel as though your belly is too large for your SKIN....so, the moral of the story is....try to buy clothes that are stretchy and fit nice now, but can grow with you. It will make you more comfortable in the long run.
Hang in there...this is a happy time, and you shouldn't wish it away b/c you feel fat...you have a new life growing inside you and that's all that really matters!

Re: Does anyone else feel this way?
What u r feeing is normal...it takes a while to get used to wearing maternity clothes....and then factor in our hormones and all the other wonderful things going on inside our bodies right now- and its no wonder that u may feel up and down.
At one point I could actually FEEL my belly skin stretching. not fun. I dont get dressed in fron of my hubby- but in the closet or my powder room. After 6 months I finally glimpsed over at the mirror and could not believe that that was MY body that looked that way!
Beleive me, Im no model-infact i was about 30 lbs overwieght b4,..and THAT bummed me out since I worked so hard for over a yr to get slimmer for the wedding. But a lot has changed in my life since then. I dont work in a place where I can go out at lunchtime and go to a gym...I get home late and have a WONDERFUL hubby that loves to cook.
All in all- what u r feeling is not unusual. Just hug your belly honey- its all worth it in the end!

Re: Does anyone else feel this way?
Thanks for the support - see today I feel so much better - wearing a very confortable pair of pants. I really do think it depends on what I am wearing - forget about a day when I wear panntyhose - I'm glad to hear that the way I am feeling is normal - I know feeling fat is not the way you should be feeling during pregnancy.
