Pregnant Women Look Ugly?
I haven’t been to gynae’s clinic so frequent before. From last week, I had visited my gynae four times, just every 2 days. Of coz, first 3 times because can’t find my fetus (one of the times I went to other clinic), the forth happenned today. Gave myself a shock when I had a show last night, but it turned out harmless to my baby, so I don’t have to talk or think much about it. This is not what I’m gonna blog.
It’s just that I saw sooooo many pregnant women these days, I can’t help thinking are we women feel good about our pregnant looks? Well, during the last trimester, with a bulky tummy and big butt, it’s hard to be fashionable. Most women will just dressed in comfortable loose maternity dress, that’s what I saw during those visits.
I rememberred when I was pregnant with Justin, I asked my hubby does he think that I looked ugly? He said I was carrying a life in me, and assured me that I looked perfect. That time I was too excited with my first baby, I also didn’t care much about my look. In fact, I think I look good.
I’m not saying that pregnant women look ugly, but it’s the way we dressed ourselves during pregnancy which doesn’t show the beauty of being pregnant. After seeing those pregnant women, I have concluded that no matter how big my tummy will be or how much weight I’ll gain this time, I’ll make sure I look as good as possible. Here’s the plan:
1. Don’t wear maternity clothes too soon. I’ll look thru my closet and try to fit in my regular clothes as long as possible to look “young and fresh”. Even though I’m not young and fresh.
2. Get a nice pair of shoes.OMG, almost every pregnant woman wears sandals, and I’m not talking about classy fashionable types. They’re those sandals you’re wear to pasar malam, and very comfortable types. So, I just bought myself a pair of flat heel shoes, it’s pink!
3. Wear make up, if possible, when going out.Ok, with morning sickness, heartburns, lack of sleep (happenned to me), bigger face (got fat), the last thing on my mind is make up. I don’t use make up regularly, but I think in order not to scare people with my pale and “chan” look, at least put on some foundation. And trim my eyebrows!
4. Maintain good posture.I admit I waddled like a duck last time during last trimester. My friends said I walked differently, but I didn’t care much that time. This time, I’ll make sure not to walk with my legs open, feet facing out, and tug out my bump. Have to maintain good posture and walk normally. This is hard, I know. But hopefully I’ll make it.
5. Get nice maternity clothes.This will only happen if I have extra cash lah. Saw those nice clothes online, and gatal to get them. But I’ll stick to Step 1 first for as long as possible.
Well, anything elso to add? Mmmmm….

I feel so ashame of myself liao after reading ur blog. I wore pasar malam slipper to work twice bcoz I forgot to change. By the 3rd month I started to wear maternity dress oledi cause I was very uncomfortable. & I wear the same every week. I don’t put make-up at all. For the first few months I was carrying a bottle to spit..OMG! I the ugly pregnant lady!!!
Must do something… But I’m so lazy. I think I’ll put on more SMILE on my face to distract people from staring into my fashion!!

Ha Ha Annie, I was like that too last time, didn’t care much about the look. And very eager to wear maternity dress even though the bump is small. So, start dressing up! *smile*

I experienced this couldn’t find fetus case for my 1st pregnancy, was really sorrowfully to wait another 5 days to check again.
I agreed on what you said, even pregnant still must maintain a good look to everyone especially hubby (am i right?)

shoppingmum, I love the maternity clothes from modernmum and mother club. If you buy those two pieces you can still wear them after delivery [if you remain big like me
] b’cos they don’t look very much like matertiny wear.

Thanks for reminding shoppingmum…think I want to get new shoes before the baby is out;). I’ve been trying to look good but…*sigh*

MG, me too, I like those brands, but it’s a bit costly, have to buy during sales.
Maria, Hahaha, that’s why it’s hard to make up, just put foundation loh…
Mama22beas, go get new shoes!!! We walk better if we feel good in those shoes, right?

I’m also very guilty of letting myself go during pergnancy. When having extreme morning sickness for 6 months ah, cannot think of anything elselah. Mau pakai lawa2 pun takde mood. If possible, I want to wear the baju kelawar to work. Make up? Haiya, I cannot put moisteriser on my face, some more want to put make up. My maternity dresses also, by 4th month dah start wearing. I have 5, one for each day of the week. Hahahaha…
I see my colleagues all very easy pregnancy, can wear all the dress from butiks. Look very nice. I think cavewomen also look better than me when I’m pregnant. Sob, sob.
