Self-image during pregnancy
I feel like I've heard a lot about women not feeling attractive during pregnancy and struggling emotionally with it. I really don't think about my looks much and don't worry about it 90% of the time. The only time I feel unattractive is when my husband is looking at lustfully. It doesn't bother me other times and I feel like I'm pregnant, so I'm not supposed to look attractive/am not bothered by looking unattractive. I know I'll be hot again after I have my kid and get active again. But it's like I'm bothered by my husband finding me attractive when I don't find myself attractive. Has anyone else had these confusing emotions? How did/do you feel when pregnant?

I still felt attractive during pregnancy. Early post partum was real rough though. I still don't feel 100% back to myself even though I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight- my body is just different now, not bad, just different. Personally, that's been the hardest part for me.
I expect my man to think the sun shines out of my ass when I'm ugly because he knows I'm cute as fuck.
Pregnancy isn't my fav look, but I still expect to be looked at lustfully 😂
Do you not believe him? Could that be part of your anger
Ohhh he LOVED my newfound curves! I never had any. Always a B cup. Pregnant I had ass, I had hips, I had a bigger butt and my boobs went up 2 cup sizes to a D, giving me nice cleavage and nice round big (ish, for me 😂) and his hands were all over me every day, he made me feel sexy all around and helped with my confidence but I also did show it off by always wearing tight bodycon dresses. You hear of the opposite on peanut- man lost his drive while she’s pregnant, doesn’t wanna initiate, or scared to hurt baby, or worse, admits he’s not attractive anymore (I’ve read those posts too) so in my case it was total opposite and I believed him coz his words and actions were the same. I did my maternity pics nude boudoir. Some men find pregnant women really attractive even not their own, “pregnancy fetish” really does exist. If he says you hot girl I would try to believe him.
