Hi all! I've been using this forum for more years than I can remember now, very rarely posting, and I wanted to share my recent experiences sharing my love of pregnancy with my partner in the hope it might help/inspire anyone that was in a similar position to me. And if not then give you a few minutes reading material...

For context I'm a male in my mid twenties at the time of this story, and had been with my female partner for 5ish years. We had/have a really close and healthy relationship with no secrets except I had never shared my fetish of pregnancy with her. For quite a long time I had considered sharing this with her but had never plucked up the courage as I was worried she wouldn't accept it or would think less of me... I'm sure many of you can relate...
On a few occasions I had tried to hint at it by suggesting that a pregnant women we saw looked quite attractive, or a pregnant celebrity was really rocking her belly etc... But she has since told me that she never ever interpreted that as an attraction to pregnancy and thought I was just making a passing comment.

Fast forward to 5 years into our relationship, we were living together and really happy. I had not long discovered fake pregnant bellies and realised that this was something I really wanted to try (again I suspect many of you are in this boat as the though of an actual pregnancy would mean children which was out of the question at this point lol). So one night, with a tiny bit of liquid courage, I found the bravery to tell her very openly that I had this fetish and found pregnancy more than just attractive but was very much turned on by it... And the best part was that she was completely okay with, was interested and asked questions, and later that night when I explained that fake bellies existed and I'd quite like to try them out, she was super open to it and even offered to split the cost of one! Obviously I was super excited as I didn't expect this much of a positive reaction (but I did cover the cost myself ofc).

Fast forward another year now and we still have a mega healthy relationship and we regularly use a fake belly in the bedroom. We got a second, much better (and bigger) one a few months after the first one and she really enjoys wearing it. One because of how I look at her in it, but also she feels really sexy in herself in it. She's even gone and bought some really sexy lingerie and outfits to wear with it which is above and beyond anything I ever expected. It truly is a dream come true!

All of this is not to brag but too say that if you have a partner, and you have this fetish, and you truly feel close to them... Then I think it is really worth sharing this with them and seeing if they want to explore this with you. I know not everyone will be as open as my partner was with me, but I feel our relationship has been stronger than ever since I 'came out' to her. It always felt like the only secret I ever kept from her and now I have no secrets whatsoever. Now we talk about it openly, we get to enjoy the fake belly, and we are much closer as a result.

P.S - I feel I should mention we still regularly have sex without the fake belly and I think this is another key part of our healthy relationship. There is no dependance or anything like that on us using the belly which I know I've seen some people talk about (not necessarily a fake bump but struggling to get off without some element of this fetish).1

So glad that it went so well for you, man. Sounds like she's the one. And that's the point of life, really - if your significant other loves you with your imperfections, rather than in spite of them (this is VERY important), then you've found the person just for you.

The reason I said it is important, because I have had two relationships where this thing was seen not as a kink, but more as an inconvenience or a thing of bother for the girl. Because there were always worries that I would rate pregnant girls above them, that I cannot imagine them not being pregnant, that they became overly conscious about their bodies, etc etc etc. There were other, more important problems which proved why those relationships lasted as long as they did, but this is also not insignificant and, also, emblematic. That's why I stressed why it is important to be loved because, not in spite of your pecularities.

I say it now because I have met a woman that made me understand why it didn't work out with other girls. I still owe my ex-girlfriends' a huge amount of gratitude as they made me who I am and they made me understand the most important thing that you can take away from a relationship - you understand better what you DON't want. And so I did. It did feel like I couldn't love anyone anymore and that I would have to live with a compromise - that the fetish will be a problem. But it all changed two months ago, when I met...well, she is something special.

Talking just about the fetish, I realised that it is truly possible to find your soulmate. You might have seen me commenting on other posts on this site before, me telling that you have to tell when time is right, but don't leave it late. If she loves you, she will accept it. I did just that with this woman. And guess what - I found out she has an impregnation fetish. I nearly cried when I found out, because I realised "YES, it is possible. It is possible to find your soulmate".

Of course, I consider myself extremely lucky and I only talk from my point of view, everyone's situation is completely different because each and every one of us has walked a different path. But the key takeaway I can tell you again and I will keep telling this again and again until I'm bored of typing - if she does not accept for who you are, is it really worth it. Cos the worst thing you can do is lose yourself because of trying to adapt to your partner. Of course, there are little things in your behaviour that you can and should change, but I am talking about fundamentals. This is not only about fetish. This is about everything. If she does not accept you for who you are, you should think about it.

And I completely agree with @SPToffee - we, too, have a fake pregnant belly and we, too, are using it a few times, not all the time. The fetish still needs to be an added bonus, not the main thing in sex. Because you can run into the trouble of getting addicted to pregnancy sex and then you would find it hard to become aroused in the "normal world". We have come to an agreement that it is her decision to wear the belly, not mine. It adds to the element of surprise, but also keeps the normal sex still full of pleasure and closeness.

Last, but not least, finding the "soulmate" involves A LOT of self-evaluation and work on yourselves. I, myself, had quite a tough year, accepting myself, loving myself for who I am etc etc etc. Surely the girl of your dreams would not want to date a mess, would she? You need to be extremely critical of yourself, but don't run into the other end and don't be hard on yourself. Don't look at your shortcomings as bad things, look at them as things needing in improving. As soon as you will deal with those things, the right person will be right around the corner.
