Not a disruption at all! I have the same problem with photos, and have been known to stab myself out of them. I duck photos most of the time, because I just don't like that person in the photos. Fortunately I don't look at mirrors or photos that often, so it's everyone else who has to suffer through looking at me. That doesn't give me enough incentive to go thru the misery of losing weight. Of course, I've had people tell me I'm doing a terrible disservice to my son because he'll want to have photos of me, and won't care that I'm fat. So maybe I'll let them take some pictures of me again.
It's not even really the fat. It's more of the discrepancy between what I think I look like and what I actually look like.
Some truly honest soul once told me in great surprise while looking at my photos from long ago "Hey! You used to be pretty!" in great and honest and not unkind amazement. :)
Take care of your health, and see your gyn, who I'm sure can straighten things out. What a disappointment after nine months. :(
Oh, and I've got swimmers ear again, and am trying to avoid going to the doctor because this is the second time in a few months and he's going to want me to give up baths, I just know it!!! And that I just can't do.
A commiserating,
Dinah
