Well my husband committed the cardinal sin of pregnancy partnership…

He said he doesn’t find pregnant women attractive. After he realized what he said and who he was talking to he felt terrible, but the harm was done. I have been crying ever since… pregnancy hormones and all.

I didn’t realize quite how insecure of my body I actually feel. I’m 20 weeks so I just started to be able to show off my bump and though I’m a bit insecure about it, I love having a bump and knowing that I’m growing my baby in there. But on the other hand I do feel fat, pudgy, and as though I’m just limping around and moving slowly. It’s just an adjustment. I think with a good night sleep I’ll be able to relook at myself and go back to feeling proud of my bump, but it sent me through an unexpected wave of emotions.

This group always makes me feel less alone, so I figured I’d post this here in case anyone else is going through similar insecurities.

Edited to Add: thank you everyone so much for your comments. This is such a special group, you are all so kind and supportive! I can’t go through and thank everyone individually. But I really do feel so much better 🩷
