lol i know this might sound really stupid but i worry that when i am beginning to show, i will just look like a big blob. i've seen some women who are pregnant and it's hard to tell they are pregnant because they just look, um, big. gosh that sounds really mean. i know that probably sounds so shallow but i'm worried i won't feel sexy or good about my body when i'm showing.

does anyone else feel a bit nervous about their ever swelling baby body?

I think baby bumps ARE sexy! Pregnant ladies glow i love it!

I know what you mean. I'm owrried because I put on too much weight with my first. I ate and ate and I really regretted it after because it took me years to get it off and I've never fully won the battle.
This time I'm going to do things differently - I'm 14 yrs old and a bit more sensible (only a bit mind...) so I'm not going to see it as an excuse to stuff my face!!

I'm petrified of how i'll look too! I'm only a slim person, so it's going to be a shock. Even now i'm self concious coz of the bloating, I hate my bf touching me belly when im on my side coz it balloons, he thinks it's the baby though, lol.

I think I'm more worried about after. I have been quite chuffed that at my age my boobs are quite pert, yes, they sit very nicely. Will they loose their pertness?? My orange peel bum, thighs, etc, will they get worse?? Varicaose veins, I have a couple but nothing too bad, will I look like a veiny plum?? My belly, will it remain so that I can't see my lower half ever again??

I've already had someone say, as I told them a couple of times I could only manage chips and gravy and only ate them cause I needed food, that if I only eat chips then I will put too much weight on and regret it, eat only vegetables, salad, healthy food. Don't these people get it, I feel like crap, I want all food I just can't eat.

I'm looking forward to my hair and nails being in the best shape ever!! Well, I hope it happens

It never bothered me at all, only afterwards when I was left feeling like Mr Blobby. Same with stretch marks, Im not overly fond of mine.. but they're my little Bethanie marks so I love them too.

I love having a bump. It's the only time in my life that I want to emphasise my figure, and not hide it away.
It helps to be proud of it, and make that effort to look nice. Makes you feel confident, and kind of 'show offy' about what you, and only you, can do by growing your child inside of you... quite magical really.. I think thats what gives that 'glow'... comes from within, a secret knowing that you are performing the biggest miracle of them all.
