Having no body confidence

[newmummyjan19]

Hi ladies

I'm 20+2 weeks pregnant today and this is my very first pregnancy and it's very much safe to say I'm getting bigger, but I don't have a very much defined bump I just look like I've had a large lunch and I don't think it helps that I wasn't skinny before I was pregnant but I wasn't very fat either... I feel like my body is disgusting and I don't want anyone to touch me or hug me.
I've started to ask my partner to sleep on the sofa at nights because I don't him to see me naked or to touch me when I'm sleeping.

Has anyone else had these thoughts during pregnancy 😕

I am 32 weeks +1 and I did feel very self conscious of my body when i started to put weight on...now I am quite big and have accepted it and started to enjoy watching my body change for my little person. It is such a beautiful thing to be pregnant, and I know from speaking to my partner that it doesn't change how he views me at all - if anything knowing I am carrying his child makes him more attracted to me, stretch marks and all! I know it's hard watching your body change but what's happening is so natural and a miracle try to enjoy it all...you will soon be back to your usual self when little one is here. Pregnancy is definitley a gift to cherish even when you feel like that, I guarantee your partner will love you and be even more attracted to you. Have you spoken to your partner? Hope you are ok 😊xx

@AshBluex I want to really enjoy my pregnancy but I'm finding it really difficult because I'm scared al get too attached and something bad will happen with the baby... I sound so silly but because pregnant has really scared me so far... I felt comfortable for a few days after my 12 week scan but then I started to worry about my pregnancy again and worried about what if I lost the baby and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.

Yes I have spoken to my partner about all my feelings and I think he just does everything to please me so when I ask him to sleep somewhere else he is always more happy to because he doesn't want to upset me,

Since I got pregnant mine and my partners relationship has been completely different we come home from work, I cook dinner we eat dinner we don't talk and we go to sleep. We don't have anything to speak about because having a baby has consumed most of the
Last few months, I've tried to arrange for us to do things together but he isn't bothered or invites him friends to take the pressure off it just being me and him :(

I think that is totally normal though...i have been exactly the same I can never just relax and enjoy my pregnancy fully as I am so worried i will do something wrong or something will happen. I think that's just us preparing to be mums and already looking out for the little ones. I would sit down with your partner and openly talk about it...I always do when I am worried and normally I get reassured within seconds and feel silly for worrying....hormones dont help us unfortunately!! I really hope everything works itself out for you...I'm sure it will xxx
