to find some men's reaction VERY strange?

I am 6 months pregnant. Trying very hard to stay active, dress nicely, be careful over weight gain etc. So look reasonable but I am obviously very pregnant. But - I am very very shocked at the amount of perving being done by random men in the street. I'm an alright looking lady, had my fair share of male attention before hand, but this is ridiculous. Even to the point my nine year old son has noticed, and growled at a leery builder the other day for staring at my boobs because he is getting a bit sick of it. Is this a thing? Do pregnant ladies get perved on? I think it's rank!! I've never felt more unsexy!

Men are biologically programmed to find pregnancy attractive in order to propagate the species. Pregnancy = fertile female able to potentially carry HIS offspring.
Having said that, as a bi woman, I also find pregnant women very attractive and there's no evolutionary benefit to that, surely [shrugs].

I got perved on loads when I was pregnant. Even when over 9 months and ready to drop.

Used to get beeped at by white van men as well.

Last time I was pregnant I was nine months gone and a white van man at the lights tooted and shouted "oy oy you fat bitch!". Went home and cried my eyes out then vowed to DH I was going to track white van man down, cut off his dick and make him eat it. Then we'd see who the bitch is.

DH says he finds me attractive when I'm pregnant. Apparently it's not the boobs, it's more to do with me being all round and soft and contented. This time around I have hyperemisis so he hasn't gotten so much as a hug in months.
