I need help
Hey all, my name is Grace!
I need some advice and maybe some help. I’m starting to think that there’s something wrong with me and I don’t want to talk to my parents about it and usually my mum can help but right now she absolutely can’t!
This is embarrassing for me to say but I have a fetish that I’m not proud of… my fetish is pregnancy (i.e pregnant swollen bellies, pregnancy growth, rapid pregnancy growth, pregnant women being taken care of by the male, etc) , belly inflation/expansion, cumflation, rapid pregnancy growth, etc. Sometimes I feel okay that I’m like this but I think deep down really shameful about it and guilty, and especially because the only thing that I get off to is this (I do to other things). But like especially at the moment, I feel like there’s something horribly wrong with me because I’m using it a lot to get off, and now that makes me feel ashamed, I feel like I have to hide my phone or I just feel ashamed in other people’s presence and in my head I’m thinking like “I’m disgusting”, “you’re so shameful”, “why did you do that again”, “you do it too much”, “you’re obsessed”, “there’s something horribly wrong with you”, etc. I don’t feel normal, I just feel wrong and ashamed all the time.
I wanted to ask for advice/help on something else… I’m talking to boys on ***, hinge, bumble, field, etc, and I’ve met one who wants to have “fun” with me (he is respectful btw), I want that too and have organised something, but all I feel is shame. My mum is asking me “have you got a date!!”, in like an excited way and I just lie. I don’t want her to know that I’m going to be doing things with a boy that I don’t really know. I just want to have fun, and experience things, all while being careful, and I don’t know I just feel guilty. I don’t know what to do. I want to experience these things but it feels like I’m not aloud to. And I feel like there’s that pressure coming from my parents, then I just feel like a kid. I feel like I have to hide and sneak around which again makes me feel ashamed.
I seriously don’t know what to do, because both these situations make me feel so ashamed of myself and kind of make me hate myself ☹️. I am sorry for the large amount of information and if it was too personal.

Pregnancy is an amazing and healthy and natural part of life.
The changes to a females body can be amazing.
There's no reason for you to be ashamed when it comes to wanting and needing connection and desire.
But the problem lies in rushing things, pressuring things and going to meet someone you don't know
Who won't have your best intentions at heart.
Intimacy is different from lust and you need to get to know someone first, know what you like, they like, what your comfortable with, not comfortable with.
You don't know this because online people only want to hook up.
They only want one thing.
I think deep down you know this is not for you right now, and that's why you came here 💜

Thank you for your advice x
It helped. I still feel insecure and ashamed of myself, especially about my fetish but you did help a bit, and I thank you for that x

Hi Grace - I admire your courage in asking for help and your openness about your fetish, particularly the judgment you have toward yourself.
Sometimes our judgements can be warnings against risky behaviors, or they can be misguided or harmful messages which can eat away at our self-esteem.
Do you have a sense of which kind of a feeling you are getting? A warning .... or ... a misguided message?
