Feeling ugly during pregnancy

Question

Hi, I’m currently 20 weeks and most of my existing clothes don’t fit me anymore. I also gained quite a bit of weight so far. Feeling quite ugly and don’t know what to wear when I need to go out. I am not sure if I should buy nice maternity clothes which will be outgrown after I given birth or bigger sizing normal clothes which might fit me now but might be too big for postpartum. I want to invest in nicer clothes to make me feel better and yet don’t wanna waste money and space. I also don’t feel confident in what I wear and just feel like an auntie. In addition, I also feel that my face has changed and don’t like my look overall.  I know I will only get bigger since I’m only half way through. Not sure if it’s my mindset issue, is there any way to improve my situation now?

Hi, i was just like you too with my 1st baby. I used to be 48kg before pregnancy. I gained 17kg. During pregnancy i hated taking photos cos i felt ugly. I had the pregnancy nose too. So i dress myself up with pretty dresses. Like sundress or even if i wanna style the bump i wear bodycon with oversized blazer. I only felt less aunty 8 months after birth. You're not alone! You're gonna get thru it. Remember its just a temporary phase
