Is it just me who feels like this?
I'm 24 weeks pregnant and just feel so insecure in myself. I feel fat (have put too much weight on) and so completely unattractive even though DP tells me I'm georgeous to him. I see other pregnant women who look fantastic and seem to be glowing and happy but I just feel like hiding away. I feel stuck, dont get out much as have a toddler and also dont find it much fun going out with the girls when I cant have a drink and feel tired etc. I keep thinking DP must be fancying other women as I look so rubbish and dont feel like sex as much as normal. He works with lots of women and socialises more than I do through his work. I feel distant from DP, emotional most of the time and really quite alone (dont have any family around and dont see friends that much).
I lost my last baby in the second trimester last year and feel that I'm still grieving for her but everyone else has moved on so I just think of her on my own. And I know that because of that I should be so grateful that everything is going well this time and I am grateful so it just makes me feel even more guilty that I'm in this low mood.
How can I snap out of this?
