When I First Sa That I Thought You Were Pregnant Again

We women are e'er talking to each other, commiserating, and sharing our deepest insecurities on the internet. But it'due south not often men go asked how they experience about beingness meaning -- about having significant wives or girlfriends, that is.

With the anonymity of the web on their side, dads and dadshoped-for have opened up about what they really think of their partner'due south irresolute body during pregnancy. When asked by one Reddit user to share their truthful opinions, men did not not disappoint in the honesty department!

I was worried their answers would be the kind of thing our readers wouldn't want to read, but what I found was a pleasant daze. Take a look:

"I was still sexually attracted to her, simply I also found her hilarious. She's 5′ 2″ (so she says only I remember she'south shorter), and when she striking about 7 months, she just looked hilarious, simply in an ambrosial style. She's so short and had this massive abdomen, couldn't help but giggle every time I saw her. She was a good sport nigh it though."

"My wife got hotter and stayed hotter during and later on the pregnancy. She doesn't believe me. I can spend all day long complimenting her, write fucking sonnets, leave poetry, whisper sugariness nothings, or simply desperately try to explicate how much I love looking at every foursquare inch of her and she just gets self conscious and hides. Goddamn woman, I saw what a baby did to you and it makes me want to make full y'all with more!"

"I thought my wife was freaking ridiculously gorgeous when she was pregnant. I hateful I felt that fashion earlier and after too, only it felt like something more … like I had a key attraction to her once she was carrying my child."

"My wife is 4'9". Around month 7 she wasn't able to effectively achieve to the back of a kitchen countertop. Nosotros bought her pedal extenders so she could bulldoze without her tum hitting the steering wheel. She was incredibly cute while pregnant. Once she was in the bath tub flat on her back and couldn't get out. She had to yell for me to come help her up."

"It's all fine until months 8 and 9, when she turned into pregasaurus Rex."

"I notwithstanding see the same adult female I fell in love with and married; similar the exact aforementioned woman. I mean, she has gained about 45-fifty lbs but it's similar my brain won't permit me to see that she is different in whatsoever way. Certain, I mean her arms aren't toned anymore and her hips and legs are wider but it doesn't matter."

"My married woman and I are due in early May and she recently started showing. I certainly don't find her whatsoever less bonny. My physical allure to her is so inextricably tied to her personality, our history, and our current life together that knowing she is carrying our baby boy for united states of america makes her then much more attractive to me."

"My wife was amazingly sexy, I couldn't get plenty of her…And I love the stretch marks, I did that to her and she has them from giving me 3 crawly kids, warrior marks. She's amazing."

"I have ever loved my married woman's body, but during her pregnancy, I was practically addicted to it. She would often get irritated with me for non being able to continue my easily to myself."

"I still plant her attractive, just I was terrified nigh the upcoming fatherhood and a little uncomfortable with the idea of having sex activity with her. I can't really explicate why I was uncomfortable. I but was. I yet did it because I'grand a trooper, but I wasn't initiating information technology. Fast frontwards to my wife's 2nd pregnancy and the unknowns were gone. I knew what to expect and the fearfulness and discomfort were gone. I couldn't get enough."

"I was a whole new kind of attracted to / infatuated with her when she was meaning -- beautiful, with thin limbs and nicely swelling belly and breasts. With a new creature that we made, in intimacy, growing within of her.. It was all just damn beautiful."

"

I was actually put off the thought of sex. I but couldn't get my head effectually the fact that in that location was a BABY in there. I admittedly loved my wife, and found her very attractive throughout, merely it was a huge, huge mental barrier..."

"The torso was fine, it was the hormones in the body that made her psycho. Now that It'southward all over, I'm happy to detect the adult female I fell in love with has reemerged."

"It's foreign in a way that (I'm going to exist brutally honest) in my experience which I'thousand sure is common, seeing a pregnant woman isn't a turn off but more of a complete shut out. It's not ugly or unattractive, it's only not sexual at all. That beingness said, when it'due south your kid and your SO, for some reason you'll find her body the same mode you ever accept. Merely more round. Just as beautiful as information technology was 9 months earlier."

"When you know that that woman has made that sacrifice to her trunk for you, it is the sexiest thing in the unabridged world. I have never thought of pregnant women every bit attractive for beingness significant, just when information technology is your Wife/GF/And then, and your child, it is just a thing of raw, powerful beauty."

"I constitute my married woman beautiful all the manner through. Sexual activity, however, stopped the twenty-four hour period I felt my son kicking me through her abdomen. I didn't call back he was being unreasonable."

"My wife vomited constantly for the first 4 months, to a point nosotros needed a saucepan in every room of the house she'd be in. And then she vomited more. All she could swallow was lime popsicles. It took medical attention and all the patience on the universe then she and my first girl would not die...I was basically grateful for her to be alive. She was not sexy at all, and I had horrific memories for months after delivery. Every fourth dimension she would puke I was there holding her."

"I think my wife'south body, with each passing day, becomes more than and more a matter of worship. I find information technology and then amazing every 24-hour interval when I look at her belly with our child in it."

"I got turned off by my married woman, but only because her hormones went actually out of whack and it was frankly dangerous to become shut to her. It was like trying to have sex with a human mantis hybrid, wast sure if I was going to have a good fourth dimension or lose my head. Death is a turn off for me."

"An amazing mix of aww (seriously, pregnant women are adorable), protection and flat-out smugness. Not smug equally in 'look what I did', just 'expect what I've got'. Like having every status-symbol man has e'er craved and a pet wolf thrown in for free. So utterly badass."

"My wife is 8.5 months pregnant. she's never had the 'Supermodel' body, but she's however gorgeous. In my optics, she is more cute than ever, yes these areas seem unattractive, but it's part of the process. Her attractiveness is in her personality more than her appearance, and it also hasn't changed how gorgeous her eyes are."

"Watching my wife go through her pregnancy was 1 of the sexiest things I have ever experienced. Her trunk was irresolute in the most miraculous ways and knowing she was carrying my child brought an extra level of intimacy that we hadn't experienced before."

"I told my lady every solar day that she was cute and she was / is. Women are women and she didn't believe me and still doesn't. Such is life."

For the record, I dug through nearly ane,000 comments and generally the majority were rave reviews of pregnancy and professed an abundance of love -- some of which were and so enthusiastic about bodies in bloom they bordered on developed content not suitable for work! I included many of the heartwarming comments here, but also sought out a handful of differing opinions for the sake of diversity.

My own husband stands with the few who constitute pregnancy to be sexually unattractive. Just this morning time he told me things were very black-and-white for him while I carried our two sons: not meaning equaled sexy wife, pregnant me was somebody's mother. To exist fair, he insisted he doesn't think there'southward anything gross near pregnant women exactly, only that there'southward a difficult mental line in that location.

I wish I'd been one of the tiny significant women whose married man found her utterly ambrosial, but I gauge I tin at to the lowest degree appreciate my own man'due south honesty. If there'south anything to be learned from what the dads of Reddit shared, I think it's that those of you whose husbands say you're gorgeous/simply as beautiful/sexier than before really ought to take their word for it and revel in it!
