ugh... unsexiness
posted 11th Jul
so, i'm 35 weeks and the past few months i haven't wanted to have sex because it's really uncomfortable and hurts. I know my b/f told me he doesn't mind it, and still thinks i'm "sexy" but i feel gross, and unsexy. Maybe it's just the preggo hormones that are making me feel like this, but i feel like he's gonna start going after other girls. haha. It sounds way lame, and i know he wouldn't but this whole pregnancy image is making me so insecure. Anyone relate?

Yup totally I used to be really thin before I was pregnant and my stomach was my husbands favorite thing about me. Now he won'd even touch it because there's a baby in there. Any who I get that but I feel as if I'm just ugly now and feel like he may cheat on me with someone not so big and covred in streach marks. Of course I've always have verry low self esteem so..yah ^_^;

yes! my fiance is awesome, i've said it a million times onhere...at least. but yeah, i get so hormonal and i'll just cry for no reason (just like they show in movies, lol). he's been so understanding and so supportive, but yeah, i've had those thoughts. i've told him about them because i know they're crazy thoughts to be having. he is surprised but says he undestands that my body is going through so much shit right now. he knows i am not acting/talking/behaving (at times) like my "normal self." and he's right. i'll get nuts over the tiniest thing. nuts in the sense that i end up crying and crying and crying over it.
i'm such a baby these days and it sucks. lol. i just try to seclude myself when i feel "emotional, pregnant amber" coming on. or i go outside and chill for a bit. but crying is my thing. not so much raging out or being a bitch. i'm more a crier now that i am pregnant and i never was before.

i'm 5 months PP and still feel that way lol...I feel unsexy (mostly b/c i can't shed the baby weight), and for whatever reason my sexdrive is looow. My hubby is awesome about it though.

Not something I have had issues with this time around, but with DS.......
Sex was uncomfortable even before I found out I was pregnant. (about 2 months along, I have funky cycles, mistook 2 days of light spotting for a short AF) We did not have sex again until DS was about 8 weeks old. That did not go so well. When all was said and done DS was around 10 months old before we had any decent sex. (DS having colic and me not having much help didn't help things)
DH was wonderful and never did anything on the side, but I was always worried about it because he never got anything from me. Getting through that (and the money issues we had on top of it) strengthened our marriage immensely.

Talk to him about it, having it out in the open can be the best help there is.
