Anyone else feel this way?

Question

Feeling the ugliest I’ve ever felt in my whole life.... and mostly cuz of acne but also because my boyfriend finds pregnancy a huge turn off and have only been intimate a couple times since being 4 months pregnant. I don’t know what to do anymore and I feel so horrible that I’m not the way I used to be and ugly and I’m at a loss and just crying... someone please give me some advice

Answer

I'm sorry, sister. Pregnancy is hard. 
My husband's been working for 12 days straight and I've barely seen him. Last night he texted from work and said, "This is my last day of this horrible schedule, let's go to a romantic lunch tomorrow, babe!" I was so excited! And you know what?! I woke up with 3 more huge pimples on my face! Like horrible mountain pimples! I was so embarrassed! 😭 I wanted to feel good and be romantic and that's so hard to do when you feel UGLY!!! 
It's hard, I understand. It's just temporary tho! We go back to normal soon. 
Some men are freaked out by the physical baby inside, I think, and it can affect their comfortableness with intimacy. Especially if it's their first rodeo! Talk to him. Communication is key.

Wow I'm sorry he's making you feel that way. I have days where I feel super gross and just very unattractive. But my boyfriend tells me that pregnancy is a very beautiful thing and that he just sees me as more beautiful for going through what I'm going through. Which makes me feel a little better lol. I couldn't imagine being made to feel like you are...it's not like you went and got pregnant on your own. He should be telling you how beautiful you are (even if inside he might not be as attracted ) he needs to realise your hormones and emotions are a lot more sensitive. You should be happy during this time and to see your body changing. After all you're cooking up a little human in there. Don't let him turn something so special into something you feel bad about. Smile mama, you're having a baby! :)

Awww this is sad to hear but I feel ya, there are days I feel so weird about myself and get down on myself. I’m almost 19 weeks with my second. My bf thankfully is so nice and sweet and is constantly saying I’m beautiful but there are times I feel weird about myself and at times after we have sex is when I feel the weirdest about myself. I mentioned it to him and it made him sad to hear I was beating myself up. But I think it’s just all these weird hormones
