Pregnancy brings about a lot of changes in a woman’s body. While some women are over the moon about the baby bump and the growing baby, there are a few unpleasant changes such as stretch marks and weight gain during pregnancy that leads to insecurities in women. If you’ve ever wondered what men thought of these changes in their partner’s body, we asked 9 men from our MomJunction community what they thought about their partner’s body while pregnant. And their answers are worth a read. Take a look below:
1. This Dad Doesn’t Want Pregnancy To End
My wife only got more attractive after she became pregnant. I couldn’t stop telling her how sensual she looked every single day. I’m sure she found it hard to believe as she got more conscious about her body and thought that I’m only trying to make her feel good.” – Kevin

2. The Glow!
She grew bigger and beautiful towards the end of her second trimester. Her face, nails, skin, body, she looked perfect to me. I’ve heard of pregnancy glow before, and she was absolutely glowing.” – Dev
3. When Pregnancy Brought A New Level Of Intimacy
Knowing she was carrying our baby inside her brought on a different level of intimacy that didn’t exist before. I started seeing her in a new light and wanted to be as much supportive as I can. I drove her to every appointment and made sure I was always by her side. On days when I felt she was feeling a bit low, I decided to work from home. I knew she was feeling more vulnerable about all the changes to her body, but I never missed a chance to tell her how beautiful she looked.” – Karan

4. Short, Cute, And Adorable
“ I found her incredibly attractive as always, but to be honest, there were times when I found her hilarious. She is 5’1” and had a big round belly. When she would walk up to me, I couldn’t help but laugh. She was hilarious but cute at the same time. I was afraid she might feel offended, but she was a good sport.” – David
5. More Emotional Intimacy!
The first 3 to 4 months, nothing really changed except the fact that she put on a little weight. But towards the 6th month, her belly started to show and she was getting bigger with every week. I have to admit I wasn’t as physically attracted to her then, but I was more caring and loving than before.” – Adam

6. When Her Beauty Feels Raw And Real
My woman decided to get pregnant and give birth to our little angel being fully aware of how much it would change her body. She had stretch marks and acne during pregnancy, but I never saw her feel insecure about it. The fact that she would sacrifice her body to bring in a new life was something I found incredibly attractive in her.” – Jay
7. Perks Of Being Pregnant
I was in awe of all the changes happening in my wife’s body. Her breasts were enormous during those 9 months, and I gotta admit it was a pretty nice change. Of course, the crazy mood swings were tough to deal with, but hey, you gotta accept the worst to enjoy the best.” – Ron

8. Loving All Of Her
My wife was 8 months pregnant when she gained over 28 pounds. Though she never had the supermodel figure, she was always gorgeous. During her pregnancy, she had stretch marks in various parts of her body and I could tell that she was extremely insecure about it. She gained fat in certain parts of her body where there were none before. Though I wouldn’t say it made her more attractive, it didn’t make her less attractive either. I loved every part of her just as I did before, and continue to feel the same way even now. I reassure her as much as I can, but I guess it would take her some time to accept those changes.” – William
It’s important to remember that these are personal opinions of people, and just that. But the one thing we can all agree on is how powerful a female body can be when it comes to bringing a new life into this world.
