Hi,
My 2nd daughter was born 4 years ago and I have never stopped looking pregnant it is a very sad and lonely life I lead because I hate the way I look. I don’t go to see old friends anymore because I was always so skinny my entire life until I had my 2nd child. The funny thing is that I used to get comments all the time on how sexy my stomach was and how do I have such great abs, I was like known for my stomach and the irony of this is that I’m still known for my stomach but not how sexy it is, instead I get asked when r u due?? I hate my stomach. I still have to wear maternity clothes because my belly is to big and the rest of my body is normal. It just sucks!! I found out that I have a very large fibroid in my uterus. Which is causing my stomach to be enlarged to about the 6month mark of pregnancy. I’m trying to get this operation approved to get the tumor removed but its not easy. Maybe some of you other women on here should get an ultrasound of your belly to see if you have fibroids because they are so common in women who have gone thru pregnancy. Mine is the size of a football. Pretty crazy huh.
Well if anyone comes up with a cure or has any good ideas to help me or make me feel better please email me. I wish you all the luck in this world. I know how hard it is to live with this problem.
Thanks
Leigh Ann

I am ‘childless by choice’ and struggle with my weight and appearance. I have been asked more than once about being ‘due’ – all the usual questions, and now those ‘are you/aren’t you’ looks. My confidence levels are SOO low right now, even though i am a positive person in every other respect. I’m still wearing black leggings and boots and it’s now june. I need styling help. I’ve ordered and returned 6 maxi dresses, summer legging, wide legged pants, several long line tops. ARGHHHH – please help. (I’m a larger UK size 14)
Thx.

I can so relate to this. I am having one of those days where i feel fat and ugly.
I am even at a point of wondering if I am pregnant again.

My daughter is 6.5months old, and i seem to have started looking pregnant again in the last two months. Winter cooking didn’t help much either, i think.

I really hate feeling this way.

I have started with exercising, but my motivation is pretty low, because there is just so much to be done, and obviously the results are slow to show as well.

Hi Stacey, My daughter Ginger was born 2 years, 8 months ago and I still look pregnant. I have been asked once by a friend if I was pregnant. I know that he did not want to ask, but it is one of those occations that he did. I mean he hadn’t seen me in a while so he thought that I was. The issue that I am having is trying to lose the weight. No matter how many portions I eat, or the walks that I am on I can not lose th e weight, I just need help. I feel like I am literaly trapped in my pregnant clothing and can not find a way out. You know how people stand on the highway with signs that say “will work for food”. Well mine says “I WILL LOSE THIS BABY WIEGHT” ya right! LOL. I look at all these magazines and wish that was me all over again. I wish so much in my heart that I could be attractive again for my husband. But the weight seems to never go away. I suck in my stomach and of course you know that goes. What the heck are women suppose to compete for anyway. Why should we compete. God I hate this. It makes me mad that I can never find clothes that help me to look really good because all I feel is fat in them. I look at my husband and wonder “does he find me beautiful”? Of course we are shopping and there are these tiny girls and women all around me. I feel like I am the good year blimp. I hate shopping now because of my size. I feel all these eyes on me when I walk out of the dressing room to get my husband’s approval. I almost wonder if they make coments about me. “OMG luce! Did you see that lady? Can you say fat”! Fustration sets in really quick when I see my husbands eyes wandering, I then wonder why me. Do you know what I mean. I just don’t know what to do anymore. Everything requires money and when you do not have a whole lot, well lets just say it is a big pain in the tush.

Cheers
Perri

Having met you in real life, I am shocked that you got all of these comments. You don’t look pregnant to me! Still, I’ve often thought in regard to myself, that if I were famous, every couple of months my body and my supposed “bump” would show up on the covers of supermarket tabloids amidst yet another round of pregnancy rumors.

Good luck on your new journey!
