Does being pregnant make me more insecure? I have never thought about my husband cheating on me when our sex life wasn't up to par. BUT now that I'm pregnant I can't seem to think of anything else.

It can... pregnancy is a big change in a woman's life. While her entire body is changing and basically functioning for someone else... your husband is off scott free.

But don't let the change in your body, insecurities, hormones, etc. cause a drift in your marriage.

If you have concerns, sit down with your husband and tell him how you feel.

How far along are you? Yes, the hormones that boost during pregnancy can do this to us women.

I don't feel as hot now that I'm pregnant. I get told how cute I look all the time but I still feel as big as a house. I miss getting checked out by guys. Now, I get unwelcome stares from just about everyone due to the basketball under my shirt. It is normal to feel unattractive. Here are some things that have helped me. The maternity portraits I had done made me feel really beautiful. Other things like getting my hair done help me as well. I know it sounds superficial. It is funny, I always found pregnant woman adorable and I envied them before I got pregnant. Now I feel anything but adorable. You are normal.

A couple of days shy of 3 months.

Oh, yes, you are in the estrogen progesterone struggle right now. These two hormones are struggling against each other. This does happen. Just be assured that it will even out.

It's normal and natural and doesn't really get better with each pregnancy... It is also worse when you are carrying more than one baby cause then you have double or triple the hormones. Congrats on the pregnancy, and being a normal woman. Well normal with hormones anyway.

I think it's definitely normal to have insecurities when you're pregnant! I am a very confident person, in a loving relationship with a great guy, I have 2 kids already and am 5 months pregnant with my third... Although I love being pregnant, I've been plagued by insecurities lately that my partner does not find me attractive or sexy anymore, I mean he tries, but you can just tell that the big tummy in the way and stretchmarks all over is a bit of a turn off... He now sees me as the mommy, rather than his sexy partner that was in great shape before I got pregnant!! I'm not a jealous person normally, but I find myself being plagued by fears of him not being attracted to me again if I don't lose the weight fast enough, and when he constantly checks out other hot little chicks with GREAT bodies, I can't help but get a little angry and jealous... These are things that I'll talk to him about, but he constantly makes me feel ridiculous because of the fear of being alone with 3 kids if he sees someone that's more eye-catching than myself... Also, even if he didn't leave me, I don't know that I can live the rest of my life with someone who takes advantage of the fact that he's got a house-wife that raises the kids, cleans and cooks every night, while his eyes and mind are wandering to younger or more attractive women than myself, and taking me to bed to fulfill these thoughts... I'm really hoping that this will go away and we'll be OK, but I just can't shake the uneasy feelings I've had lately... it bothers me when he comes home and tells me all about the little hotties him and his boys shop-talk about ALL day EVERY day!! Sometimes I think men are just pigs that see women strictly as a piece of meat and forget that we have emotions that go with!! Eek, I really hope that these stupid feelings of insecurity go away soon! I hate feeling like this and being such a fool about it!

I'm having the same problem my husband was really anoid with me today for going thro his phone I've turned into an insecure looney. However I found pics of loads of beutifull women with there breasts out when I did look at it they were all internet pics and I know he would never cheat but it has made me feel so unsexy I could never look like those pics never mind now I'm pregnant. Its weird for me as I've never been the insecure type but it feels horrible and I'm having a lot of problems with wanting to have sex as in I don't and it scares me I will push my husband away as a result. I want to thank you ladies as reading your posts has made me feel more normal and I really hope this passes soon for all our sakes x

The same thing happens to me, I agree with all of you. I don't want the feeling of being insecure but I couldn't help it. I am fat and can't wear sexy clothes now. I feel like my husband is not attracted to me anymore. He doesn't talk about naughty things anymore and recently I saw he added new friend to his fb and she was hot and it made me insecure bigtime!:( I don't want to tell him, he might I'm going crazy.
