I’m Expecting and My Husband Has Lost Interest in Me

Dear Sana, 

My husband and I are expecting our first baby but I feel he has lost interest in me because I’m no longer slim and attractive.

How do I win back his affection before he starts looking for someone else?

Hi, Ayesha, 

It is natural to worry about changes in your relationship during pregnancy. However, it is also important to remember that your husband’s love and affection should not be dependent on your appearance. Pregnancy can bring many changes to a woman’s body, and it is important for your husband to support and accept you during this time.

I suggest that you talk to your husband about your concerns. Perhaps he is feeling worried or unsure of how to navigate these changes in your relationship and your body. Communicating openly and honestly with each other can help you both understand and support each other during this time.

Pregnancy can be a challenging and emotional experience, and it is important to take care of yourself and your mental and physical health. This is a transformative experience and it may also be helpful to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist during this time.
