Need advice regarding pregnancy emotions

[ByDreamyLimeLurker]

Hey all,

I am 28 and pregnant with my 3rd child. I feel so so anxious about the way i look as i have extremely low self esteem and i just feel like i am so ugly compared to the women my fiance has been with in the past. Like I'm not even exaggerating these are all blonde hair big boob girls that are dolled up beautifully and i am just a short, chubby, buzzcut ginger girl covered in tattoos - including my face.

I just feel like i do not compare to these women and im almost certain these feelings have been brought on by pregnancy hormones. Im crying as i write this as my fiance means so much to me but i just feel hopeless.

Any advice is appreciated because i have not had this low self esteem since i left my ex.

Firstly, I think you've probably hit the nail on the head that some of these emotions may be raging pregnancy hormones. That doesn't make them okay, and it doesn't make those thoughts 'true' but it doesn't lesson how real it all feels.

When I've found my emotions and thoughts keep spiralling, I find it helpful to try and root my thinking in the things I know to be true.

The things I know to be true in your case:

• your fiance is planning to marry you
• your fiance is choosing to have a child with you
• your fiance is by your side and continues to choose to be by your side

I assume (!!!) he isn't planning to marry anyone else, or planning children with anyone else.

He's chosen you. He obviously thinks that you are the one for him, not any of his exes. Or anyone else for that matter.

When everything spirals, hold on to that. ❤️
