To have slight worries about changing figure (pregnancy)?

[LBirch02]

Cutting a long story short I got down to 7 and a half stone to attract my partner. Am now pregnant - unplanned but thrilled about it. No bump yet but I’ve started putting on a bit of weight - up a cup size and now a slight tummy where there was none before! Partner is lean and says he wants to put on weight - I think he’s lovely as he is! He says he loves my now slightly curvier figure but I wonder how he’ll feel about 7 months from now! Since we’ve been a couple he’s only known me being very slim. Anyone else feel like this in early pregnancy?

I'm 26 weeks and struggling with my body image atm. My husband has seen me much bigger and smaller than this but it's still difficult. Why did you loose weight to attract him?

cactijones congratulations on your pregnancy! I lost weight to attract him because I was several stone overweight and started developing a crush on him. He’s good looking himself and seemed to be attracted to good looking slim
women judging from some comments he made before we started dating

[quote SmidgenofaPigeon]@Disintegration1985 you’re 24 weeks. ‘Luckily’ you haven’t put on weight? You’re growing a baby so this wouldn’t be a totally unexpected or awful thing to happen…you’ve got 14-16 weeks to go- you will put on weight, it goes with the territory.[/quote]
Sorry, didn't mean to sound insensitive. A history of disordered eating and poor body image (psychiatrist did offer to refer me to ED specialist at one point) means sometimes I still slip back in my old habits when it comes to discussing weight etc.

Of course it would be a totally natural and normal thing to happen. I just mean I haven't had to deal with the mental/emotional aspect of being triggered by the number on the scale going up yet.

it sounds as if you have a problem with your body shape/weight rather than your partner.
