feeling beautiful?

I am 25 weeks and I just don't feel attractive at all...my boyfriend used to tell me that I was pretty and make me feel like he wants me but now that I'm pregnant I feel like he doesn't even like me anymore....I work overnights and when I came home from work in the past he would snuggle right up to me but not anymore...he never cuddles up with me anymore....we still have sex but it seems like he's just doing it to get it over with and I can't live like that...I need to feel wanted by my partner, and attractive and want to be desired...I don't feel any of those things....anyone else feel like this?

It seems like you're too concerned with how he feels. Take care of self first. The reality is that if he makes you feel this bad, then maybe you need to separate yourself from him even if just for a moment. If that seems too hard then you should have a serious talk with him about how he's making you feel. This is unnecessary stress that isn't good for your child. I hope you figure it out

I tried all that, and he doesn't ever compliment me anymore....he used to love when I wore my hair down and curly but now he doesn't even bat an eye at it, like now I'm tainted or he got what he wanted and thst was to get me pregnant and now he's simply dealing with me because I am pregnant.

I agree completely with the first comment. Do little extra things for your self. Guys deal with pregnancy in really weird ways sometimes and without noticing how they are. Some extra you time and pampering can help alot. You are growing a human so don't be too hard on yourself. :)

It can get like that but you are the one that's going to have to lift yourself up. I went through a phase of feeling unattractive and although my partner wasn't the cause I know how you feel. Spend a little extra time pampering yourself in the morning. Put on your makeup, do your hair, and put on a nice outfit. Especially on your off days. Get up and get cute and I promise it will change your mood. I even went and bought some cute nighties to wear to bed. Give yourself that extra attention and it will boost your esteem. Don't do it for him but for yourself and I promise he will notice. Good luck and remember you are beautiful.
