I was never the jealous type of girl before. I use to have really nice body and was very confident. Now it's totally different, I'm no longer slim, I have stretchmarks on my legs, my thighs and my ass. I also have huge upper arms and love handles. I feel so ugly !

It's the F1 grandprix this weekend in here and my husband's best buddies are in town. They're the kind of guys that get a different girl everynight, go out to stripper clubs etc. (you get the idea) Yesterday my husband have been invited to a party at a strip club, which he didn't end up going because it was too late and he was working early this morning..

I never felt so jealous! I really didn't wanted him to go, I couldn't stop thinking about those perfect bodies he'd see, I know it's more attractive than mine at the moment... I was so hurt, just the thought of him going there really torn me apart. I never use to mind him going to strip clubs with friends, though I always told him he can look, not touch. But now, I really don't want him to go to such places anymore.

He also works in motorsports and everytime he's away I can't stop thinking of all those racing skanky girls that are all over the place at the races + parties.. I trust him, but I'm jealous! I know there is always sexy girls running around and I hate that.

Even though he tells me not to worry, I still do. It's hurting me more than anything but I can't control it! It's his career, that's what he does...

Sorry I had to get it off my chest... I don't know how I'm gonna keep coping with this! I can't tell him to quit his job because of this.

Im sorry you feel like that hun *hugs*

It sounds really silly, but when my stretchmarks first started appearing I felt exactly the same with Matt. And the past few days have been awful... I just can't get used to my tummy being where it is and the stretchmarks and everything.

The only thing that keeps me sane is knowing that he is with me because he loves me and our baby, and thats what matters. Im sure your husband is not the type to do anything but I understand how difficult t must be with him having the job that he does.

Don't really know what to say hun but *massive hugs*. I hope you feel better soon.

Jess, if anything, you are even MORE beautiful now because you have the look of a mother! Pregnancy takes a toll on everyone's body and self-esteem. You just have to think about how much stronger and beautiful you are now after growing a baby and going through labour!

It won't take forever to get your body back to the way it was. Your husband surely thinks you are just as attractive now, if not more. Youu have to look at what is good. Your stretchmarks will fade, you will eventually lose the weight.

If he didn't love you for better/worse, then he wouldn't have married you! Just remember that. He obviously loves you or he wouldn't have chosen you.

Aww hun. I know how you feel. Ive not had my LO yet but even now I feel like I cant possibly be attractive to my OH because of my pregnancy body!

My OH is also into cars (hes a car salesman but is ALWAYS at shows and events) and I know what its like with the models all over the place with their perfect bodies! I was the same, always said OH could look but not touch, well now hes not even allowed to look because it winds me up so much and makes me so jealous.

Im sure your OH wouldnt change you for the world - youve just given him a gorgeous little boy and he is probably the happiest man in the world at the mo so im positive youve got nothing to worry about.

Its natural to feel a bit low after youve had your LO, you will be back to yourself in no time and im sure you dont need to change or worry about anything

I am sure you don't look all that bad. i know what you mean though, i just hope you feel better about yourself soon

I felt the same, and still do now sometimes.

Try to remember, he loves you and you're the mother of his little baby.. thats a very special bond. Sure, he may look at another girl but he is with you. I am the jealous type too and I get a bit annoyed when my boyfriend looks at slimmer girls (he denies it, but im sure I catch him every so often) but I try to remember that he is with me and that is all that matters. As soon as you feel better in yourself, you will be fine.

I feel exactly the same. I'm constantly thinking about the women he see's who have beter bodies than me and comparing. I hate how my body has gone.

Thanks so much girls... I appreciate your replies!

I feel the same way. I used to have a nice body and now it has gone to pot. And I'm not even close to full term!! I can't wait to have the baby and then get my body back into shape. I am sooo motivated!!

Aww hun, I feel the same. Not had LO yet but my boobs are now covered in stretchmarks and my thighs, hips and bum have little broken veins on. I feel like a huge unattractive whale! And although I would be jealous too because I'm the jealous type, I don't think you have anything to worry about. You're the mother of his child and so I'm sure he loves you more than anything and so what, you might not be one of those fake, plastic boobed super slim strippers but I bet he finds you much more beautiful than any of them, like Rae said, you have the look of a mother
