unattractive?

Prior to getting pregnant I was athletic, size zero, and toned. Now at 26 weeks I have acne, stretchmarks, and of course a huge belly and a lot of weight gain. Any other moms feel like they're not attractive to their partners anymore? My husband swears that I'm still attractive to him but I feel like I'm not attractive to myself.

Completely agree with you, I try not to look in the mirror because I just feel eww :( my boyfriend still says I'm gorgeous but I don't feel it, I'm not use to having the belly, I do feel good about my boobs because I didn't really have any but they have stretch marks and you can see all the veins :( but oh well all for my beautiful baby girl in the end :)

I feel the same way. I was 110lbs before pregnancy now I'm 150lbs. It's ide to gain around 40lbs but when your not used to it it can be rough. I cannot wait to get the okay to work out and get it off. I hate being out of breath and wearing sweats all the time lol. I don't feel sexy at all and don't even want to be intimate because it's hard to breathe you can't move the way you did and I just feel le I have a million chins haha. My fiancé says he still finds me beautiful but of course it's normal to doubt it. Hang in there! Once you hit 30 weeks it flys by. I'm just about 38 wahoo!!

If your husband says you are attractive to him, believe him.  Why kill your own happiness with self-doubt?
