Hi, I was self conscious about my body at first too.. till now actually but I’ve learnt to accept (35wks just a few wks left)! For the stretch marks, are you using any oil? I used bio-oil since first trimester. It can be used when your stretch marks are already showing. Sometimes I do joke about my body too but i will specifically tell my husband that I am the only person who is allowed to do that so he rarely does it cos he knows how upset it makes me. But he doesn’t mind and told me that I am pregnant and the weight that comes with it is natural. After birth, I can start losing the weight. Try talking to your husband about your insecurities and tell him your limit when he’s joking about it. It might help.
