My husband and I married about six months ago, and I am six months pregnant, or twenty eight weeks. We found out about the pregnancy late, four months ago. We also recently found out we will be having a daughter. When my husband first met me, I was much thinner and much more beautiful. I used to be a ballerina. I was not very good, but because I was doing that all day, it meant I looked very nice and thin. But since becoming pregnant, I’m not so much. We have been together for six years.
I try not to eat too much, but when I eat the amount I used to, I get very dizzy and I am worried about falling over and hurting the baby. So I have to eat a little bit more because that is the only thing that stopped it. I tried supplements first, but it didn’t help. And sometimes I eat some unhealthy things, because everything else would make me feel sick. But it made my husband upset. He thinks I am getting fat and I don't look beautiful anymore. And it is not just my stomach, some of me has gotten fatter, and I hate it. I look horrible, and I know it.
But there is nothing I can do about it. I can’t eat less, and I don’t want to look like this either. My husband still comments about it a lot and it makes me really sad. I did try eating less, like what he said, but I felt too dizzy and much more sick. And I am worried that if I am hungry like I prefer to be, it could hurt the baby and she would not grow enough. I feel like he does not love me as much as he used to, and I know it is difficult for him, but it makes me feel horrible. I don't know how to get him to stop saying it, I try to get him to but it is like he never listens to me.
