Feel so unattractive:(

[Dede124]

I have put on so much weight I'm 30 weeks now and I know I'm only going to get bigger.

I keep asking dp if he still fancies me and says yes but we weren't together long before I fell pregnant and I used to be a nice size 10 and just got happy with my figure when we met.
I think I have just lost confidence with how I look and can't help but think he must think I look horrible and fat because that's what I see when I look in the mirror, I don't really wear make up like I used to either I just haven't got the energy only if we are going out for a meal or something I will make a bit of an effort. I know he loves me and he tells me I'm beautiful all the time but I just feel like he says it to make me feel better.

Has anyone else felt like this?

I could have written your thread myself except I'm only 16 weeks and have put on loads of weight already.
Sorry no real advice but just wanted you to know your not alone

Hi OP I know how you feel. I've lost all my confidence during pregnancy. I'm 37 weeks and looking at myself in the mirror is crazy, everything has changed.

I'm the same with the make up, I don't feel like putting the effort in because of how I feel about myself.

I have also put on 3 stone. The midwife had a word with me at my last appointment.

I found being honest with my partner about how I felt about myself helped. Even if I was swallowing tears whilst explaining. And I'm trying to focus on the fact that it won't be this way forever.

You are carrying the greatest gift that you can give to your partner. A part of your love is going to be born. So you know you have to be healthy to deliver a healthy baby. So be happy that both of you are well right now as what you feel can effect your baby right now. Try not to think of the way you look, think of the people with misfortune who can't even a single meal a day if you have to think of anything. If you work on it, you can get back to your normal size once your little bundle of joy is born. Think positive at this stage and be happy, girl!
