Feeling unattractive with myself and my SO
I’m 29 weeks tomorrow.
I gained 16 pounds in about a month. I also gained the black line that goes down to my belly and it goes straight to my vagina. I have stretch marks on my boob, face is breaking out and I have dry skin. My legs have huge veins and my feet are most of the time swollen.
At the beginning of pregnancy, my SO called me beautiful all the time, but since I hit the second trimester it’s stopped.
I still put on lingerie, but I feel like I shouldn’t do that to feel attractive. I had about a 20 minute emotional breakdown about my looks.
My SO and I went to a bar to watch a game and this Waitress kept hitting on my husband. I got kinda angry at the fact that I was sitting right across from my husband and she was hitting on him in front of his pregnant wife. He just kept telling me to calm down.
On the way home, he mentioned having sex. As soon as we got in bed, he fell asleep.
What do I do? How do I feel better about myself? The last couple of times, I’m the one that has started the sex so I feel like I shouldn’t be the one who starts it all the time.
I know I should talk to him but we talked before and he just tells me I’m still as pretty as ever and he’s just tired. Well...so am I buddy!
Ugh. Help.
