Anyone else struggling?
I was so thrilled to hit the second trimester, and (so far) I feel very lucky to have had the worst of the nausea and exhaustion tail off, but I feel like I’ve just fallen into a bit of a pit… I’m bloated and puffy and my clothes don’t fit, but I also don’t look pregnant either because I don’t have a noticable ‘bump’. My skin is going mad with spots and my hair (which is naturally curly) just looks like I’ve slept in a hedge most days 😂 I feel like a right troll. When is this ‘glow’ supposed to happen?!
I’m trying to look at the positives of not feeling horrendously sick all day, but I think I had this magical view of the second trimester and it’s definitely not hitting the mark so far 🫠

Same here in terms of "do I just look podgy or is a bump actually happening?" 🤔 I'm sure we'll all blossom and feel better about ourselves soon haha, specially whej we start to feel more consistent movements from our little ones, hang in there! xx
I have so much back acne and I am not glowing at all. Hahaha
I felt the same and then suddenly a bump appeared. Im 18 weeks and have finally got my head around not fitting into clothes. Still feeling so tired but I am hopeful that the glow comes soon!
Are you having a girl? I’m like this and I am putting it down to the old wives tale that girls steal mam’s beauty 😂

I feel the same and definitely after such a rough first trimester, this one has me so worried now I have next to no symptoms. But I do feel ugly and podgy and can’t decide if I’m just getting fat or now developing a bump.
