Anybody else feel super insecure about themselves during pregnancy?

I feel like my skin is so ugly now (body acne). I’m going to be so ill -built after baby is born and not going to wear the stuff I used to wear to look sexy. I haven’t been in the mood to do my hair much …. 💔 Also before pregnancy I’m one of those girls who does makeup almost everyday and feel the prettiest when I do. I don’t even do my makeup anymore due to no energy or care to. I just feel so insecure and my spouse says it’s pushing him away. 💔💔

Sorry to hear girl💖 Your partner needs to realise that you're going through a lot not only physically but mentally. Him saying that isn't helpful at all.
I felt like that throughout my pregnancy too, even now that I've given birth & my partner still makes me feel good about myself. Tell him it's not permanent, you'll be back to yourself soon. Patience.

Hey girl, being pregnant isn't easy, and everyone handles it differently. I definitely don't like how your partner would say something so selfish. And you don't have to reassure him like in the above comment. YOU need the reassurance.
My suggestion is to start small. When you wake up, use a nice face wash. It's a win for the day. Maybe some mascara? It's a win. Hell spray on your favorite perfume. It's a win. Don't try to jump in and overwhelm yourself trying to be the person you were. You are not that person anymore. Transition at your own pace and create little goals for daily wins.

Try taking bloom greens in the morning , it helps a lot with feeling more energetic, take your prenatals , try to find cute pregnancy outfits that u want to wear and this feeling is just temporary i promise you . It sucks but don’t loathe around to much . You attract what you are . Listen to positive podcasts or affirmations to remind yourself of how beautiful and important you are. The greens will really help give u that energy n hopefully give you some energy to take care of yourself n start getting ready again

Yuppp try planning a date night in advance and use that day to get yourself together girl, being pregnant is hard but you guys deserve the little romance before baby comes. Try your best to have a few day nights if possible. It’ll bring you guys closer and give you a reason to do your makeup. Lord knows once baby arrives it only gets harder to find the energy and time

Also girl you’re young, it’s better you having your babies now so you find it easier to bounce back. Waist trainers and gym will become our best friends and you’ll will be fine af, we really gotta do this for our confidence at the end of the day it’s about our self image so we feel better about ourselves. We got this mama

Is the insecurity what’s pushing him away? Maybe starting to do things little by little everyday will help to make you start feeling better not only about yourself but just in general..find a good lotion you love that you can put on or have your man put on you to help your skin feel and look better, start with light exercises like walks and other things, maybe not a full face of makeup but parts of your makeup as work your way back to doing a full face. Getting the proper vitamins in your diet will do wonders for your energy levels also. I hope you start feeling better love and if you need to talk I’m here for you to talk even though I’m all the way in Atlanta lol
