Not a good look.

why do most pregnant women look bloody awful? mostly overweight to start with, don`t dress to suit their condition and waddle around like penguins. Don`t get me wrong ,there are some women who look fabulous with a baby bump , but others ....

[ummmm]

I had three awful pregnancies with various problems. Looking pretty wasn't at the top of my list.

I liked to show off my boobs though.... until I got pregnant I was pretty flat chested, so when huge breasts started to appear, I showed them off. Lovely. And I was quite proud of my baby bulge. But that was in the 80's when pregnant ladies had very little choice of nice clothing - it was stilll smocks and elasticated trousers.

"Milly143, your not letting your side down are you?"

Don't really understand what you mean.

so how did your mum look when she was expecting you, claymore? I do hope you didn't make her look ugly.

I put on 3 st when I was pregnant and felt ill and tired through most of it and had sleeping problems. I know I looked awful but my cousins wife who was pregnant at the same time was glowing. She hardly put on any extra weight and was able to her normal clothes right up until around six months. I'm still trying to lose the baby weight and I still look and feel awful.

But I agree with Ummmm, looking good was at the bottom of my priorities.

Well done ladies, charging to the defense of your gender, but I know plenty of women who shudder at the thought of getting pregnant and stacking on the kilos. I have two daughters who feel the same way. but then again where would the human race be without those women who don`t mind going through the trials and tribulations of pregnancy. Love you all.

obviously many pregnant women dont dress up etc...but i suppose its abit like being ill or incapacitated for 9 months...when you haver the flu or a cold or gastro enteritis you dont worry about how you look...you are suffering...and even if you did try. after a while you would give up a bit trying to look nice.
