DP looking around

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and am feeling fat and frumpy. I've put on about 2 stone already and generally feel rubbish about myself.

Today I saw that my DP had been looking at other skinny/petite girls on Facebook. I know it's very petty to get upset, but it's just making me feel worse about my big tummy, boobs and weight gain. I know that my body is doing something amazing, but that doesn't help me feeling quite insecure about it all.

I'm 5ft 2 and was just over 7st, now I'm just over 9st. I know I'm by no means huge, I was just wondering how to feel better about it all?

That is sad OP, you should not be judging yourself, esp when pregnant with other women, skinny or not.

You are not even heavy by the sounds of it, there will always be better looking people than yourself, just like there will be less good looking, what the hell does it matter.

When you say looking, was he opening ogling them in front of you, if so, how bloody tactless of him, I assume he's no Adonis himself.

Could you have a sneaky look at some men you find attractive? I'm sure your partner won't mind.

Thanks both,

I know this is so petty. It's probably hormones too, but he had his Facebook up, where you can see who you've been searching (stalking) and there were just women everywhere! I just turned away and he didn't even bother to make sure that I was ok.

I asked a couple of hours later why he didn't even ask if I was alright, and he was like 'because you annoyed me by getting annoyed'. I just feel very low about my baby body and my baby isn't even born yet!

I hope this is normal!

Is ot normal to feel frumpy yes.
Is it normal for your current partner to be stalking random womens facebook profiles NO.
He does not sound like a keeper tbh.

Why was he annoyed that you were annoyed?Shock

Gove yourself a break. It is perfectly nothing to feel like this.

f83mx · 24/03/2018 18:28

Eeeeww grim, so he was looking up/perving at loads of women he/you know on Facebook and he's annoyed with YOU?

RunRabbitRunRabbit · 24/03/2018 18:31

Does he normally show so little regard for your feelings?

Ceebs85 · 24/03/2018 18:37

Eugh. Who uses fb to ogle women. Are these women he knows or is he just stalking random profiles? I don't know which is worse.

It's normal to feel bleugh but not normal for him to care so little

BusterGonad · 24/03/2018 18:47

He sounds like an immature dick tbh.

Daisymalone · 26/03/2018 15:16

Is your weight normally a sensitive topic? maybe you're projecting your feelings about your body onto him because your pre pregnancy weight is tiny! I'm 5ft 2, currently weigh about 8st4 (not pregnant) and still fit comfortably into size 6/8 clothes so for someone who is 32 weeks pregnant you must look amazing at 9st!
