Yes! Even though he constantly reassured me I felt awful about the way I looked and how much my body changed and was constantly changing

I am getting reminded about how things are sagging.

While I was pregnant I just did not give a damn how ANYONE felt about how I looked. I was carrying life and honesty felt like..”who got something to say? I’m badass”…but after the pregnancy! 😩 I became a hermit crab! 🥹

Communication and trust are really important. I get really self-conscious at times as well. Even if it feels like I'm being needy, I know it's important to ask for reassurance sometimes when it gets too much. My partner expresses his concerns and says I straight up look like an alien, and it freaks him out sometimes xD But other times he says he's not bothered about my body. I just gotta remember that this person committed to raising this child with me no matter what.
Also, trust yourself to bounce back after the baby is born! This state is temporary. Remembering that helps boost my confidence and motivates me to do what I gotta do to take care of myself.
You got this. Our bodies are carrying us through a crazy transformation and deserve love. We're doing a beautiful thing! ❤️

My husband stopped touching me at 4 months pregnant. And we haven't done anything since. That was 6/7 months ago. We're not physical in any way. He's only told me I'm starting to look good now while I am dressed up and with makeup.
