Anyone else feeling unattractive?

I just feel like a blob lately.  It's not really a weight thing because I haven't gained that much... just a small bump and boobs.  But I really hate the idea of DH seeing me naked right now. 

I'm going out with (childless) friends tonight and I feel like a frump when I'm with them.  Everyone says I look "cute" pregnant.  But I find it hard to feel sexy/attractive when pregnant. Anyone else?

Re: Anyone else feeling unattractive?

  • I definitely know what you mean. I'm finally showing a decent bump and the boobs have already gone up a size. I'm freaking out. lol I definitely feel a little less attractive right now. And we haven't really been intimate lately partially because of this.

  • Yep..and I would say especially naked. If I wear a really nice outfit that I'm happy with I usually feel pretty good. But just wearing my tank top and yoga pants like I normally do I feel pretty blah instead of cute like I used to.

  • Oh I certainly do. Between weight gain, feeling yucky, and frumpy maternity clothes, it's like a given! DH is sweet and always tells me how beautiful I look with a bump but all I can think about is how gross I feel sometimes and my growing butt and thighs

  • I feel cute when I dress up, do my hair, and put on the right clothes (work most days) but I feel like a blob when I get home and toss on whatever fits.

    I definitely feel self concious when naked but hubs has been wonderful and continues to tel

  • I definitely feel blah lately.  I'm not showing enough that I look cute - I just look thick.

  • yea.. definitely not feeling it. i feel gross in clothes and really don't like the way anything looks at all. i actually feel best naked and better about intimacy now... i think it is because pre-pregnancy i had zero curves and was less than an a cup!

  • Having a bump doesn't really bother me, but my skin looks horrible, and I have the worst hair cut of my life right now :( No matter what I do it looks like crap. Oh, and DH said to me the other day as I was getting dresses "wow, you really are pregnant" b

  • I was 5'7 110 lbs when I got pregnant. Now I'm not sure what I am but I know that I've gone up two cup sizes and I have a roll under my boobs when I put my knees to my chest. And I have love handles now! I have felt so BLECH. Didn't help that I was lettin

  • I've been struggling with this also. I've gained probably around 8 lbs or so, but it only shows in my boobs and bump. Still, I'm not used to having a stomach that isn't flat (not that I had a six pack, but I had a flat stomach pre-pregnancy) and it mak
