I feel so horrendously ugly

[Hannabee123]

I feel massive I feel ugly and I don't feel at all pretty. My confidence is way down and my partner doesn't even really say anything to reassure me. I don't even feel like any kind of intimacy and I just feel awful all the time. Please someone help me

:(, how many weeks are you?
I hated pregnancy x

He probably doesn't say anything because you look beautiful to him and he doesn't understand why you would feel that way. You're making a baby so you're going to look different and you're going to be going through big changes, but you're lucky enough to be carrying a baby inside you and thats wonderful

28 weeks and my stomach looks like it's ripping with stretch marks and I feel like a moose

I bet you don't look ugly at all (you daft lump :p)
If it helps I know how you feel, I'm currently pregnant too, and feel like utter shit about myself I'm a mess.
I totally get the intimacy thing also!!
I'm sorry I'm no help, but I know how you feel!

I'm also 28 weeks and have days like this too. My partner is so reassuring which helps a lot. Like others have said he may not realise how your feeling unless you've said something to him.

I don't know how I'm going to get through another 11ish weeks

Hannabee I have felt the same at times, mostly toward the last month. What helped me was making an effort with the things I could control like skincare, straightening my hair when I usually never would, making effort with my makeup, painting my nails. I would treat myself to something small regularly, something that always fits like a statement necklace even from Primark...at the moment they have loads of different patterned bright kimonos, I found wearing loose pretty patterned kimonos and cardigans easiest. I'm sure, as has been said, that your partner sees you the same as always. Have you explained how you feel? I had some periods of being really down about and rejected him being intimate or affectionate because I felt sorry for him since I felt so ugly but those are low points and remember also that your hormones are all over the place. Be kind to yourself.

You just need to remind yourself that it's only temporary.
