Summer mini-rant


Well, it's now officially summer season in Greece. I woke up this Sunday suddenly really feeling the pregnancy thing. My bump is now obvious to most people, my thighs and bum have rounded up and my waist has expanded...oh, and I have gained loads of cellulite. I'm also pasty white and have a hairy belly.

So I wore my jeans that cover up all these sins and very self consciously, hubby and I went for a nice, mid-noon stroll.

I was devastated Everyone around me seemed super slim, toned, tanned and gorgeous in their short shorts and flowy dresses. My DH said I looked great pregnant but that of course my legs have changed a lot since last summer I know that's the way things should be probably but I feel a bit down...I'm still only 4 months and already feel depressed ? I dread the thought of even showing up at the beach.

I've gained about 2 kilos but my body has changed so much.



I wander how some lucky people get to be all belly.

Sorry, had to have this rant an see if anyone else feels this way. We should all be happy and greatful but isn't it normal to sometimes feel this way?

AAhhh i want to be one of those people also ha ha ha!! I ripped my trousers that the last time i put them on fell off me gutted ha ha!! Also i just had to mention the hairy belly i swear it is not a good look, my OH keeps laughing and pointing it out ALL the time. He he!! I go on holiday in 3 weeks and im soooo not looking forward to it, have never had any fat on me before and its a shock to my system ha ha!! But im just happy that in a week my exams will be over and i can return to the gym wooooop!!

Try not to feel too down when you get a gorge bump you will feel fab!! i cant wait till then!

You're not only one. I put weight on my thighs and get killer love handles.

I wouldn't say you're depressed, just feeling a bit low. You can still make the best of what you've got! I'm sure you're not half as bad as you're making out! You can get maternity dresses and flowy tops xx
