Lately i've been feeling really frumpy and blah in my clothes. I just got back from Old Navy and got a bunch of new maternity stuff. But even after doing a little show for myself and trying everything on, I'm just not excited about any of my outfits. I'm 24 weeks along and i'm all belly and boobs - I already had a generous butt to begin with. I'm wondering if the frumpy feeling is just me or my clothes really do suck!

I understand i am 16w 2d and i am in that 'my regular clothes are too small but MAT clothes are too big stage.' Still trying to figure out what or when this 'glow' is going to kick in. i am sure it will pass. don't look at them for a while come back and try it again when your feeling really happy and in love w/ your body.

lol i havent seen the glow yet either, I keep getting to by everyone that i basically look like crap. I am tired all the time and look like yuck. Clothes look retarded on me too, so dont feel bad, not everyone can look like the pregnant models we see in magazines that fit perfectly into clothes and at 9mths look like they are 3 mths because all they have is a tiny belly.

I hear ya all, I was just feeling that way this morning getting dressed, I'm 22 weeks preg

My husband and I were talking and he admitted that "i wasn't a HOT pregnant woman but I was cute so it's ok". Whut the...he's such a nimrod. Anyways, I asked him what he considers to be a HOT pregnant woman. The answer? Angelina Jolie.! Are you kidding me? Good thing we were on the phone or I probably would have jabbed my finger in his eye.

I feel way frumpy. I always thought I'd love my pregnant body, but I have to admit that I don't. I'm almost 28 weeks and I've always had a butt, but my flat stomach was my good feature. That's obviously gone, so I feel like all ass and belly and I don't feel like any of the clothes I have flatter anything!! Only 12 more weeks for me though!! I just can't imagine growing any bigger.

I definitely feel frumpy. :( I've been trying to masque it by wearing pretty make-up. LOL. Still doesn't help. My father saw me last night after not seeing me for a couple of months and he said I was "cute and so round." geez...thanks!

Frumpy here too... all these clothes are too tight or too baggy in all the wrong places. PLUS, my skin is the worst its ever been in my whole life! I just want to hide until spring!

Ah, the joys of maternity clothes :P I don't mind my belly (most of the time), but wearing big baggy clothes all the time is getting a little old. Whenever I can I still wear my regular clothes so I feel like I can still wear the same size, but with a belly. My husband seems to be enjoying my round baby belly, so that's okay. But if I put on maternity tops I feel like I'm wearing a circus tent!! The pants are comfy, though...

tiphanai lol, i would have jabbed my finger in his eye too. Do men seriously think we want to hear we look like crap even if we do?? uhh noo....come on i see the whale in the mirror so lie to me and tell me i look like angelia jolie or something lol.
