Insecurities
Is it normal to feel extremely insecure during pregnancy? This is my second pregnancy, and I’m currently 27 weeks. I’ve been with my fiancé for 6 years, but lately I can’t help feeling like he isn’t interested in me because of the way I look.
It doesn’t help that toward the end of my last pregnancy, I found out he was looking at girls in our area on Instagram who went to the same gym as him, and that has stuck with me ever since. I know a lot of this may be coming from the fact that I’m not feeling confident in my own body and I’m still adjusting to all the changes that come with pregnancy, but it’s really starting to affect my mental health.
I feel like my mind constantly focuses on negative thoughts about my appearance and whether I’m still attractive or desirable to my fiancé. I know pregnancy changes your body, but I’m struggling with feeling good about myself.
Is this a normal feeling during pregnancy? Has anyone experienced this, and what helped you get through it?
