Anyone else get depressed
I feel bummed out today....just feel so large and gross, i hate wearing maternity clothes and i've already gained 15lbs, so i'm really starting to get uncomfortable...It actually hurts to bend down to put on shoes. And i still have 4 more long months ahead of me.
I'm super excited about my baby boy, but i'm just in a funk right now. UGH.
I hope this feeling passes fast.

Re: Anyone else get depressed
I have some days like that. Days where you just stand in front of your closet because nothing fits...days where you almost throw up bending down to put on your shoes...the joys of pregnancy...lol.

Re: Anyone else get depressed
Don't worry, you're not alone. 
I'm 37weeks and I've already told DH to "watch me" for baby-blues after the baby is born. I know how you feel. I look in the mirror and have to turn away. IMO, pregancy is far from beautiful.  I just want my body back.
But you're right, it's hard not to feel guilty about feeling like this when you're doing it all for your little one. I hope once  is here with us, I'll forget all about the pains of being preggo for the past 9 mths.

Re: Anyone else get depressed
I have those days too...I think we all do. Some days you feel beautiful and others like a big fat cow. I'm up 25lbs now with 3 months left and found out on Thursday that I can no longer tie my sneakers (at least I can still zip my boots though). DH tied my sneakers for me Thurs & Fri, which was pretty humbling for me since I NEVER ask for help.
Oh and last night, I made chicken parm with a sauce that I never use. Why, you ask? Because my very favorite sauce is always in the back on the very bottom shelf (King Kullen stocking bastards) and it takes some work to get to. I found out after trying yesterday that I am no longer capable, and after looking for an employee to help me for a couple of minutes, I got frustrated and bought a different kind. It was still tasty, but that was a frustrating experience and it made me feel like a moocow.
The elastic on my maternity jeans is now too tight in the front and I have yet to buy the next size up so I have them rolled down in a less than comfortable way for work...just know we are all there with you!

Re: Anyone else get depressed
You are SOOOO not alone!!! I keep forgetting that I have this large protruding belly and I keep banging the poor thing into furniture and doors all day long. Yesterday when I parked at my office in between two cars (with what I thought was plenty of space on the drivers side) I open the door to find out that I cant get out because there isn't enough room for me and my belly so I try to "suck it in" - well guess what - YOU CAN'T!!! I hit my belly on the side of the door and thought I was going to pass out. Ugh. I love my baby, but I have a tough time with all these changes to me.

Re: Anyone else get depressed
yes, I get those days too.
As for the shoes part, I threatened DH that he is going to have to cut my toenails for me soon because I can't reach my feet anymore!!

Re: Anyone else get depressed
I have days where I feel only "fat" and not "pregnant". This morning was one of those days. Then I saw my husband in the other room and the first thing he did was kiss my baby belly. After that, I felt absolutely wonderful.

Re: Anyone else get depressed
We all have those days!
Somedays I feel great, other days just fat and bloated and achey.
I have to say though, that the first 5 1/2 months were great for me. Now I'm almost 27 weeks and I feel like I'm falling apart!
I wake up with leg cramps that go from my calf all the way up to my butt. I now have lower back pain that bothers me when I first fall asleep and when I wake up in the morning.
My skin is a disaster. My pants are getting tighter and I feel like I can't do as much as I'm used to doing!
BUT, it's all worth it for my little
