Feeling unattractive

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and just feeling so huge and unattractive. I burst into tears right after having sex with my partner. I initiated it and it has been me for the whole time I have been pregnant. He says it makes him feel weird the baby being there which I can understand. It's just hard for me when I'm still into having sex and he's just not. It's makes me feel awful about myself! Sorry for the rant pregnancy hormones are hard going.

I feel you!
I love that I have boobs back after bf, but that's about it.
I feel like a whale. It's interesting really, I was out today and saw the sheep fat and pregnant and thought to myself perfect, I'm a fucking lambing sheep and then I turn into a dairy cow.
But it's not so bad! I had major anxiety over how my body would change with my first and never initiated sex because I felt ugly and gross, feeling large this time and just not attractive at all and even more worried about how my body will turn out after this one and how I'll ever be attractive to anything again!
Just have to try so super hard to remember that our bodies are amazing because they are growing a whole new person and I'm grateful for that, as cliche as it is, try to embrace the curves
Doesn't solve much at all I know...
