I want my significant other to think im still pretty. Im currently almost 8 months pregnant i dont feel very pretty. The other day we got in a tiny arguement and his main point "You dont dress up for me anymore" That was his main problem with his ex. I dont want our relationship to go down that road. What can i do to explain to him that i dont feel pretty? What can i do to make myself pretty for him?

Hi! Im 26 weeks along and feeling just like you! I feel frumpy and not at all pretty...i think something that has really helped me is that i got a hair cut (something different and cute and easy since ill be a new mommy) And i changed my make up (i bought $100 worth of new Mary kay products) So that it would be easier and faster to do my make up but i would feel prettier...it has really worked for me...I only have like 5 outfits i can wear lol so that is a different story but try having a date night and go to a nice resturaunt and get all gussied up for him...it will make you feel better and he'll see that you are trying !! Also maybe get a manicure...they are cheaper like $15 but make you feel pampered and prettier...have your toes done too :)
My best wishes to you! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Your carrying his baby. That should be enough right now. You will have a chance to be pretty again. Every woman who is 8+ months feels unattractive at some point. But try doing something for yourself like get yoru nails done, go to the mall and have the make-up counter put make-up on you. But whatever you do; do it for yourself and not for him. Right now your are so uncomfortable and tired that you don't feel up to the challenge of beauty. Just remember if he is so focused on the outward beauty then he is not worth your inner beauty.
Good luck

First of all looks fade they always do and love needs to be a little deeper routed than that. I am a vain person but being 8 months pregnant unless you are Heidi Klum you don't feel sexy I know. I would say to him that this pregnancy has taken its toll on you and and you aren't happy with the way you look. I am sure you look better than what you think though, a lot of men (I don't get this) think pregnant women are sexy. If you really want to subject yourself to him and make him happy just do your makeup and try but I don't think you should have to if he were 8 months along I am sure his tone would change.

when i was 8 mnths preg i didnt feel pretty either. but then again if all ur doin is lying around feeling crappy in ur pajamas all day u wont feel pretty....try putting on some make up, putting ur har in a 'do and pulling on shirt that isnt 4 times too big and maybe a cute pair of sweats,. clothes are hard to find when your 8 months preg, but you dont have to wear the same clothes all the time either. tell him , baby, imagine this. you have a second human growing inside of you. youre insides are being pushed to all corners of your bpody, everything makes you want to puke, youre Fat and thress nothing you can do about i t for at least another two months, and your going to be facing the worst pain of your life in a couple of weeks- with no gaurntees that it wont last for 24 or more hours.... would YOU want to get dressed up all the time? would you feel like doing soand so? " guys dont get it until u explian in very simple terms...like theyre about to get a basketball pushed through thier pee-hole .... believe me, i made my boyfriend grimace a few times ewith discriptions...and he finally left me akone. i promised him that aftwr i had the baby and was able to get up and hgo plces again id start dressing up again. ps, watch the discovery channel "birthday" or TLc channel with him.....hell start to understand

No wonder you don't feel pretty. He has no right to push you to look a certain way. Your body is changing so of course you're going to feel disgusting sometimes. If you want to, dress up a little for you! There are maternity things that don't look totally frumpy like little panties and bras. You can always do up your hair and makeup if it makes you feel better, but don't do it for him. Just remember that you're a beautiful, life-giving goddess and he needs to appreciate that. If you feel beautiful, he'll think you look beautiful.
Good luck with your pregnancy!!

A lot of guys love prego chix! By the way I know exactly how you feel!!! But in any event, dress up in a cute baby doll langere outfit with cute little bottoms, cute little heels. Do your hair and makeup. Maybe even cook something for him and serve it to him in your little outfit!! Don't mention that you feel ugly and gross. Pretend like you feel like the hottest mama there is! And your all his!
Have fun! Oh don't worry sex won't hurt the baby, we were always reallly rough and no problems with the baby

my wife used to say the same thing when she was at that stage, I how ever was marveled at the idea and concept that she had a child within her, I still found her sexy even when she was 8-9 months. He should be proud of you because you have gone from a woman to a mother.. there's something very special about that. He should be proud of you during these months, for your about to give him/yourself a very special gift. and after the birth neither of you will sleep for the next 18 months.. but cherish it, for it will get better and before you know it they will be grown.. parent of a 17 and 20 year olds.

It is very understanding that you do not feel pretty...alot of women do not in the last trimester. However they do have maternity clothing that compliments a pregnants woman's figure...they also have sexy nighties...try that too. Good luck to you.

oh my I am sorry he said that to you. Like carrying around a 7 lb. kid, with blotchy skin, and swollen body parts isnt enough. I am sorry honey.. I do hope it works out after he sees you when the baby is born.. But go shopping, do your makeup.. not for him though.. do it for you. And forget him.. worry about your health and baby.
I hope it works out

tell him his comments upset you! no wonder you don't feel pretty, its important that your partner complements you, try tellinghim this, and to be honest i doubt many woman who are 8 months pregnant feel like dressing up!! try pampering yourself to make yourself feel better, or maybe treat yourself to a facial or get your hair or make up done. this might help.
