Hygiene Deficient Pregnant Woman- HELP!

February 17, 2008 · Filed Under Motherhood, Trials & Tribs · 7 Comments 

I just showered. For the first time in days. No Joke. I really am not sure when the last day I showered was. Fortunately I don’t ooze body oder easily. But seriously, what is it about being pregnant that makes me so hygiene deficient? Does anyone else experience this? I hardly want to spend a moment on myself.

Maybe it all stems from not liking my body when I’m pregnant? I know, I know, the hip thing is to at least pretend you love your pregnant body and wear it proud… but it is always a strange thing for me to see myself this shape. I actually get compliments, but I don’t see it. My husband loves it, but I still don’t see it. Maybe that makes me want to be frumpy?

I never wanted to be one of those women that let themselves go. And I don’t think I’m quite there, yet. How do I stop from starting to slide down that slippery slope. I suppose I should go easier on myself and only worry if it continues after pregnancy. Please tell me someone out there relates to all of this.
