Kinda Depressed.

this is my first child with my husband , I'm 21 years old. I'm so blessed and excited for my baby to come in May but I don't know why I feel so down about myself sometimes. I've always had a nice body, never really any weight issues and now since I'm pregnant It gets harder for me to feel beautiful. I just want that sexy feeling back , curves , and feeling desired. I also feel like with my husband the passion sexually is gone . He's affectionate and we have a good bond but Maybe I'm just being too attached now that I'm hormonal. It's hard though feeling sexy when there's a big belly and all your old clothes don't fit at all anymore lol. Is this normal? I'm really not trying to sound all insecure or vain because I love this new chapter in my life and I'm so ready for May to come but I just want to know that is this normal?

I too feel like this sometimes and its hard to feel any other way at this time. I've come to terms that my life will never be the same again and that's ok. Growing a baby from scratch is a miracle, hard work and you should be so proud of yourself for being so strong. All the punches that we are taking right now, no man could understand this.
You're beautiful even though you might feel fat and unsexy. At the moment it feels like I'm possessed, like I have no control over my body but you know what?, that's ok. As long as your hubby thinks you're beautiful, you have nothing to feel bad about. Your baby will think you're the best thing in the world too, just you wait and see. Its enough that our hormones are messing us about but do not for a second think you are no longer beautiful because if you doubt yourself like this, you are giving others the permission think the same about you too. Chin up and start counting down, May is not far away!
