You can't wear those jeans anymore poppet, they make your bum look really big. Sad
I'm 29 weeks pg with 2nd child. I know and accept DH doesn't find the pregnant form sexy, but this has just really upset me. I have body hang ups at the best of times, now I feel really really sh*t.
And before any smartarse comes along and asks, yes, he does have a point.

ARSE

Spuddybean · 02/01/2012 23:00

yes but you aren't bigger, you are pregnant.

A friend's H asked her not to bf because he said it would creep him out and HE wouldn't be able to see her in the same light again. And that he thought it was weird to use your boobs for that!! he actually started this conversation with 'eeurch you're not going to bf are YOU!?'

I told her i doubt if i could see HIM in the same light after that if i were her.

I just think it's sad people have become so removed from what our bodies functions are.

DaydreamDolly · 02/01/2012 23:03

That's horrible. My DH has always been supportive of BF, that would be so shitty if he wasn't. Still not defending him tho!

Spuddybean · 02/01/2012 23:05

can you shrink his favourite jeans and tell him his belly's too big for them now?

Tortington · 02/01/2012 23:06

i think thats really mean - he should have kept his fucking m outh shut actually

DaydreamDolly · 02/01/2012 23:08

Totally agree Custardo

Spuddy YES! Genius idea!

yellowraincoat · 02/01/2012 23:11

How horrible. If my partner ever intimated I was anything less than astounding, I would go crazy.

Definitely shrink his jeans. The twat.

geekette · 02/01/2012 23:57

Words fail me... Boobs more for adult men to suck than for babies? So that's why they enlarge during pregnancy!
Forcing my mind back to OP as that is too mind numbing to contempate.

Wondering what would happen to DH if he ever attempted to think negatively of an uncontrollable and beneficial body change which he can't take on himself even if he tried.
Might have to get the cleaners in...

Jean shrinking would be much neater.

geekette · 02/01/2012 23:59

and I sincerely hope poppet was a one off or something you have interjected...
Not sure which part is getting my goat more.

Honeydragon · 03/01/2012 00:10

He should have shut up.

besides your arse is meant to get a bit pregnant too, stops you falling over

KarenJones · 03/01/2012 00:42

Wow, that was uncalled for!

FWIW I was most definitely not sexy during either of my pregnancies. I am usually petite so I looked hilarious heavily pregnant and resembled "a beach ball on legs" both times according to my husband.

Pregnant sex was pure comedy in this house. But a loving piss-take that you both find funny is very different to a patronising dig, which is how you seem to have perceived this.

I like the boxer idea. Do it! Please! Grin

SecretMinceRinser · 03/01/2012 00:46

I call dd poppet.

CatPussRoastingByAnOpenFire · 03/01/2012 00:56

Shock Id have been fucking fuming! and FWIW, if he didnt find me sexy, then fair enough, but I would be curtailing ALL types of sexual favours for the duration! What a twunt!

DaydreamDolly · 03/01/2012 06:56

Haha, poppet sadly not a one off, I hate it, it's what we call DD and he sometimes forgets and uses it for me.

jubilee10 · 03/01/2012 07:46

This calls for a whole new wardrobe - with matching accessories of course!

DaydreamDolly · 03/01/2012 09:29

Now there's an idea!

He got up before me this morning and made me a cup of tea and bought it to bed. When I got up and went downstairs with DD the kitchen was sparkling, no sign of the big roast dinner debris I left when I flounced off went to bed.

I think I could drag this out a little while you know. Poppet.

ChickensThinkYouCanGetStuffed · 03/01/2012 09:37

I had to side step out of the shower when pregnant with DS2. It was a bit like a truck reversing, and took several pivots. I looked up one morning at around 7 months gone and saw DH watching me from the bed with a look of terror on his face. He quickly rearranged his features in to 'warm appreciation of the pregnant form' but I saw the fear in his eyes before hand. He still maintains he was daydreaming about a traumatic experience from his youth. Lying git.

DaydreamDolly · 03/01/2012 09:47

Grin Chicken it's humiliating isn't it. Bastards. I'd like to see them give up alcohol, blue cheese and pate at Christmas and not make up for it by eating a ridiculous amount of mince pies and Quality Street.

Malificence · 03/01/2012 11:48

There's something wrong with men who don't find their pregnant partner attractive and sexy, there really is.

You would be well within your rights to kill him.

DaydreamDolly · 03/01/2012 13:04

How would it stand up in a court of law?? Am seriously considering it Grin

I'm currently eating a snickers bar - fuck him.

Birdsgottafly · 03/01/2012 13:08

It doesn't matter what body shape he finds generally sexy. He should find you always sexy.

And 'poppet' so i'd have to attack for that.

You seem to have your sex drive governed by how confident you are feeling, based on an 'ideal', set by whom i don't know. Work on that, confidence is sexy and useful, in it's own right. Confidence will help you to achieve more than a great body ever will.

DaydreamDolly · 03/01/2012 13:17

Wise words Birds. But old habits die hard I guess Sad

ChaoticAngel · 03/01/2012 13:23

Well if you could ensure a jury made up exclusively of pregnant women and a pregnant judge then you should walk Grin

YANBU I like the small cock idea evilGrin

WibblyBibble · 03/01/2012 13:26

Tell him he can't wear any pants or trousers as they all make his dick look really tiny. Or that everything he wears makes him look like a thoughtless knobend.

nativitywreck · 03/01/2012 13:31

I was well sexy when I was pregnant.
Seriously, I thought I was the cats pajamas and would have been astounded if a man had implied I was anything less than a sex goddess.
You are beautiful, round, fecund and luscious, and let no man make you believe otherwise.
Lots of men fancy pregnant women. Maybe have an affair with one of them. Wink
