Just A Pregnant Woman Venting

This never happens, my fiancé is usually so sweet and supportive but today the way he acted hurt my feelings and I know I am extra sensitive at this time but I need to talk!

As I further progress in my pregnancy, I feel less and less attractive! It seems fairly common for someone who is 8 months pregnant 😭 (struggling!) I never talk about it because I do not see a point. My body is changing and that is just how pregnancy works, so why complain? Chris (fiancé) is always telling me how pretty I am and loving me and whatnot, but it is my own mind creating this. This is a new body and I am not used to it.

Anyway! This Sunday we are taking our maternity photos and I rented a dress from MamaBump because I didn’t want to buy a beautiful expensive gown that I was only going to wear once. The dress came in today and I loved it! It made me feel so beautiful which I haven’t felt in a while. So when Chris came home from work I put it on to show it to him and he was just kind of looking at me (not in a good way)... like just blankly looking. So I asked “What do you think?” And he said “Well it’s not my thing and I definitely would not wear it” and my eyes started to tear up so he said “It is totally your style, it’s just not something I like!”

I was/am really upset! I was wanting his opinion of how I looked in the dress. Not to mention I showed him before I ordered it! I was obviously not asking whether or not *he* would wear it, he does not wear dresses or gowns. I just felt nice and wanted to hear it from him as well... now I don’t even know if I want to wear the gown. I feel silly and I feel insecure and over all I just feel so ugly. It’s not all his fault, but not having his support in the moment is what broke me today.

Thank you to anyone who read this dumb story about my sadness today ❤️ I feel like I have no one to talk to. #LonelyPregnantLady
