Anyone else feel...
...slightly unattractive these days? I feel this way b/c intimate relationships with my husband have taken a decline. This is truly the part i hate about being pregnant.

Re: Anyone else feel...
um yeah...since week 7 when I stopped being able to wear makeup, (It makes me red & itchy...even the BE), and the same week I had to stop wearing heels b/c it was killing my sciatica.
Although people tell me I still do not look PG from behind, so that is my saving grace right now

 I am sure your an attractive woman. I am only 12wks 5 days amd I do have my moments when I feel unattractive even though DH try to convince me otherwise that I am very attractive. I am hoping that the intimacy in your relationship will get better soon. So far the intimacy in our relationship remains unaffected so I am grateful so far. I do not know what the remaining months will bring . Feel better.

Re: Anyone else feel...
 Yes, between my body, skin( I've had the worst acne) and having no energy I'm really feeling terrible about myself...I'm happy to be pregnant but at the same time having such a hard time looking at myself. It also doeasn't help that my feet are a whole size bigger..I could go on and on but dont want to hijack ...........

Re: Anyone else feel...
So glad you posted this! I feel SO unattractive. It's weird because it's made me realize that a lot of my self esteem came from my figure in the past....now I feel dowdy and I don't know what this "glow" is that everyone is talking about b/c I certainly don't have it!

Re: Anyone else feel...
slightly? more like COMPLETELY! My DH keeps assuring me I'm beautiful but I secretly think he's just saying that so I feel better.

Yes!  The acne on my chest and back make me so self conscious.

Re: Anyone else feel...
I look like hell, and have been for a while. I've gotten to the point where I don't really care- I hardly leave the house anymore. Before I go back to work I am going to have a spa day and get a haircut- I think that will be a big help.

Re: Anyone else feel...
You mean I'm not sexy with the growing belly, rash on my face and slight waddle? Damn.
My only saving grace is that my DH loves 'pregnant boobies'.

Re: Anyone else feel...
I don't feel that bad yet. Some days I look down at my belly (im only 11 weeks so if its not baby than I'm really bloated) and I feel unattractive. My skin is a little off too, and I'm so pale, I need a tan!
Plus DH and I haven't been intimate since January 21st (BFP) so I am feeling really bad about that. Also, I come home at night exhausted so we barely spend any time together. We watch TV for like an hour or two and then I'm off to bed. Not to mention I'm cranky at night. He understands but I still feel really bad.

Re: Anyone else feel...

Re: Anyone else feel...
I can't say I feel "unattractive" but I've noticed lately that my face is getting a bit chubbier and thanks to my cousin, she pointed out to me this morning that:
"You're having a girl. You're face has changed since I last saw you. You're skin is different and your nose is widening. You know, they say that when it's a girl they rob the mother of her beauty."
Thanks

Re: Anyone else feel...
I'm only 8 weeks and I feel miserable. I can't stop being ridiculously nauseous, vomiting and having stomach aches. I wonder if I will ever get through this? What if I just wasn't cut out for this? I sound crazy but I am just very tired and very overwhelmed.

Re: Anyone else feel...
Simone,
First of all I've met you at a gtg so I can officially say that you're gorgeous! Secondly, I understand COMPLETELY what you're going through. I talked with my DH about it last night. He said that the "decline" in our physical relationship has to do with his anxiety about the pregnancy, but it's so hard to feel like you have this completely unfamiliar body and not feel comfortable and sexy. I told him that I feel awkward with my body and really need him to be aware of my sensitive feelings. It's not that I'm expecting things to be exactly the way they were before I got pregnant - but I think we all want and perhaps NEED the extra hugs, the surprise flowers, an extra footrub, compliments, etc.
