lol on the occasions when i do get the horn, i'm well up for it and then i cant get comfy, katie starts wiggling cos she doesnt like her daddy poking her in the eye and i just feel really unattractive. as bad as it sounds,we've taken to just sorting ourselves out, saves us gettin all excited and bein disappointed!

I'm with you all for ALL the reasons stated. It's good to hear I'm not alone....... Thanks for starting the thread Wilbrabeany! I miss sex as I knew it too!!!!! xx

Hoping

My DH tells me that I am blooming, and I look gorgeous to him! I haven't so far been blessed with piles, swollen legs, leaky boobs or stretch marks so feel like I'm doing OK on that score! I have had the odd bit of wind though, which has crept up on me when I've been out in the shops a few times

Hmm, can I add my piece even though I am not pregnant now?

I feel like I've been through a friggin war zone! A big incision, stitches, add that with iodine that they marked me up with and bandage goop from my legs halfway up to my belly button that I cannot get off at the moment. I have a nice belly full of jelly too!

I've lost 15 lbs. so far...8 lbs. since being home. But, I still have another 37 lbs. to go.

Argh!

leeanne

Also going to add that thank god me and OH cannot get romantic for weeks because I cannot wash or shave anywhere below my incision. It's far too hard to bend right now.

like leeanne no longer pregnant.....

BUT.... I felt so much more attractive to my OH when pregnant!! Didnt think i would EVER say that lol!!!

I gained 5 stone... 2 stone has seemed to have gone just like that but my saggy belly is and my boobs are quite saggy too!! My lady area I believe will be out of bounds for a good few weeks... still so sore and the bags under my eyes are outrageous !!
My legs have gone down an awful lot but they are still tight and sore and abit lumpy from all the water!!

and my boobs never leaked in pregnancy but my god are they making up for it now..... big patches on the bed sheets lol!!

Oh and they go very hard and engorged.... which OH loves to comment on!! Just expressed some milk and I got...."oooh they are soft" lol!!

I agree with all of this!!! My hubby wont even entertain the idea of nookie, thinks its all wrong! Doesnt even touch my boobs anymore which he was obsessed with before i was preggers! Hes worried if he touches them they will leak!!!! And he thinks thats gross!
I asked him last night what he thought of pregnancy and all he said was i dont find it attractive!!! Oh Thanks!!!!! Thats makes me feel great! Good job he still tells me atleast once a day he loves me, but i dont get told im beautiful anymore like i used too!!!!! oh well!it wont last for long!

wilbrabeany

Glad i started this thread, although after Kerry and Leanne (Thanks Girlies) shed some light on what its like on the other side i'm not too sure which is better!!!!

LauraAlicia

I totally know what you mean! i feel fat, have sooo many stretch marks..i'm walking round like john wayne because ive got a sore pelvis and my lower back is sore...hairy legs and to top it off the wind! oh my god! im sooo unattractive! Ive still got 12 weeks to go!

Vicky2806

Oh my god!! This has cheered me up no end - luckily av not got stretchmarks but I have got everything else - and the wind is seriously no joke!! Especially when am in a nark or tryin to be serious with oh about sonmething and after struggling to finally get up of the couch/bed etc.. a big Fart which just makes you feel even more attractive!!! And on top of everything else the past week I have become soooo narky and irratable and after being relativly healthy throughout all am doin is stuffing my face - which is just makin me feel like a big fat frump!!!
