I just need some advice!

So to give some back ground when I had first gotten pregnant me and my boyfriend had only been together two months which put a toll on our relationship for awhile, which we have gotten threw I am now 26 almost 27 weeks pregnant, however I dont know how to show my boyfriend he needs to be more sensitive like he says things like my face is getting fat or my arms are or he'll go damn look at that big belly and honestly its really starting to take a toll on me and my self esteem. I mean that is his personality and he just says whats on his mind even if its too honest but it really hurts my feelings and im not sure how to make him see that. I was really skinny before and Im already having a hard time seeing myself gain weight and him adding to that just doesnt help.

Definitely tell him it hurts your feelings and that you are not getting fat but supporting your baby by being healthy. People in general can be rude without knowing it and sometimes we are extra sensitive. Its hard seeing our bodies completely change. Ask him to keep it to himself or give you compliments instead.

You can't show him.  You just need to tell him.  Guys are dense you need to be very straight forward with them.
