I think my arms and legs may actually be a little thinner now. I'm in the beginning of the third trimester, but most of the time I barely remember that I'm pregnant. I really hate my pregnant skin (face) because it is broken out and has some brown spots despite wearing lotion with spf every single day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-263064 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 21:14:08 +0000 mrstilly 263064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved how I looked pregnant. I gained evenly and it was awesome not having to suck in my tummy. I got up to about 210 but I am really tall and carried it evenly. unfortunately I stayed around 195 for 9 months!! I finally lost the weight and then some and am down to 165, my lowest weight in several years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-263060 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 21:04:53 +0000 PrincessBaby 263060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love watching her grow:) </p> <p>It was really bothering me at first bc my legs have gotten bigger (not fair!), but now that my belly is getting a lot bigger and I know it's her growing, I love looking at it:) The bigger she gets, the sooner we get her on the outside with us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-263033 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 20:12:05 +0000 prettylizy 263033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I felt giant and fat and shiny and icky. There are very few public pics of my pregnant self. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-263032 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 20:11:32 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 263032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved it after I started to get a little belly. Before that I just felt fat. I really loved it in the end when I had a big old belly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-263018 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 19:58:50 +0000 chrispygal 263018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: My DH would have said the same thing! lol</p> <p>I hated how I looked pregnant. I was ok with how I looked from about weeks 20-28 but after that, nooooooooo way. I was so swelled and puffy and physically not attractive. The post-baby body is not good either. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-262800 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 16:10:48 +0000 cranberryapple 262800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the way I looked when I was pregnant, and I even miss being pregnant! There was something about not worrying about weight gain, even though I was oblivious to my own weight gain other than my belly. It wasn't until afterward when the swelling decreased that I noticed that, why yes, my limbs and face WERE larger during pregnancy! I also enjoyed the clear skin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-260658 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:20:58 +0000 MrsMccarthy 260658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love being pregnant and this it is a beautiful miracle but No i have not loved how i look. I just feel thick and huge. I love this baby in my belly though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-260396 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 08:09:30 +0000 littlebug 260396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 19 weeks and so far I'm pretty happy with how I look. I actually think I look kind of adorable. So far I'm pretty much all belly. But I'm only 19 weeks. Check back with me in 10 weeks or so.

I lost a lost of weight before getting pregnant, and now that I'm almost 22 weeks it looks like I have TWO bellies. One bump above my belly button and flab below that keeps getting bigger even though I'm not gaining that much weight. The flab wasn't that big before I got preg. Grrrr, waiting for this thing to round out lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-260368 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 07:48:49 +0000 heffalump 260368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told girls take your pretty.... and I believe that was true for me. I do not like how I looked pregnant.... but it was worth it because my LO is beautiful :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-260367 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 07:48:34 +0000 hilsy85 260367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't hate it...especially the belly. That's kind of fun! But I miss my small boobies and my thinner thighs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-260364 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 07:46:47 +0000 regberadaisy 260364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: OMG. I can't believe what P wrote back! hahahhahaha</p> <p>I actually didn't mind the way I looked pregnant! I think that extra weight looked good one me. Although I don't mind the way I look regularly either. Just the cankles towards the very end I could have lived without. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-way-you-look-when-youre-pregnant#post-260360 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 07:37:45 +0000 mrsjyw 260360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there are days where I feel "pregnant and fabulous...."
