Husband thinks I'm unattractive

I'm in my 30 weeks now, and we haven't have sex for more than a month alr. Our sex life was as normal as once per week or two weeks even when i am in my second trimester. I thought it would be me who have a decrease in sexual desire but it seem like he is the one. I kept questioning why is he behaving weirdly. My insecurities instinct made me asked if it was my ugly breasts and tummy... After a few times of questioning, he answered yes. I have really low self esteem and really felt insecure about the changes in my body, and he made me felt like I am disgusting and ugly. What can I do.... Is it normal for a men to think that their pregnant wife is unattractive?

Same with Gwen, my husband didn’t touch me since we found out I got pregnant until even after birth. And similar to you, I always question is it because I don’t look attractive anymore. Don’t worry mummy, our body is nurturing a little baby and guys will never understand the changes we go through growing a child in us. I have insecurities too, esp now my breasts looks different with breastfeeding and tummy has stretch marks surrounding my lower abdomen and navel. But when I see my LO growing well. I feel it’s all worth it. I’m still wondering when we’ll get back to being intimate. HAHAA. But until then, I guess I’m still not ready to deal with leaky breasts during intimacy.. :)
