Wow, JMC in good form on this one!
Two very important points in his post: one is complimenting the guy for defending your honor. Good men feel protective of their woman and they love to be acknowledged for their role in protecting and loving you. It is important for you to let him know how he makes you happy and how great he is at his manly roles throughout the relationship - and this is a perfect time!
Second, all the stuff he's saying about shuckin' the bad opinions and loving what you do have in yourself is so important. Yes, pregnant you don't look like a magazine model but you are beautiful in the eyes of the man whose child you carry and guess what? If you are confident in this and walk tall, you will actually be MORE attractive because confidence and joy in ones self are extremely sexy! This will draw him closer to you.
So have at it: feel good about you and compliment your man!
Easy to say but how, you ask? I had one situation where hesitation on both my and my husband's parts was causing trouble between us. Once I figured out what was going one, here's what I did: I closed my eyes and sat quiet for a while, a beginning of meditation. Then I imagined the exact situation that made me hesitate and hold back. I imagined myself being confident and comfortable reaching out. I imagined him giving me the reaction that I had interpreted badly before and reacted to, but in my imagined scenario, I was confident and reached out to him anyway.
In real life the scenario came up and he acted in a way that would have made me hold back before, but I did as I rehearsed in my meditation contemplation session. I remembered how it felt to not worry about it and be confident anyway. You know what? His attitude changed and I broke right through, resulting in tremendous closeness between us! Imagining scenarios where you are who you wish you were is great practice and builds confidence.
If you really want this, you will work at it. If you work at it, things will improve. Good luck!
