Gone off sex

Sorry for tmi. Before i got pregnant me and my partner had am active sex life. Im now 25 weeks and i really dont want it at all. Feeling bad for him as it must feel like ive got what we wanted (getting pregnant) now i dont want to go near him. He hasnt said anything about it but im sure its making him feel rejected! Anyone have this?

I was the same in my first trimester and half way through the second, my hubby was feeling very rejected so i tried other ways to get myself in the mood. Like rubbing lotion on him or having him rub lotion on me, giving me massages. Im not saying cater to him but at least letting him see that your trying might make him feel better. I think while your pregnant its the perfect time to get intimate without being intimate if you get me. you get to try other things new things that make you closer.

I'm also the opposite we used to have sex almost every day, now it's like 2* week. He is scared he might hurt the baby. I have 12more weeks and I'm thinking after the baby is born I have to wait for 6weeks without sex as that is what doctors recommend, how to survive. I'm thinking of seducing him as I think sex is one of the was to stay connected. Ladies I would advise you to tray and give it up as when your partner refuses the rejection is real.

I'm the opposite as well. Before baby my husband and I had sex almost everyday. But now we have sex maybe 3x a month. My husband says he feels like he will hurt the baby even though Dr has told him its safe. He refuses to risk it. I'll just deal until baby is born. Only 10 more weeks.

For me its the other way around. Before my belly started to grow we had every day sex. Since I got the belly,we have like once a week wich is a horror for me. My sex drive is still good and this lack of sex is killing my feelings. Maybe try a bit more,coes I know how it hurts me when my partner refuses to have intercourse...

Even if I don't feel like it I still do...often instigating things with my partner. I feel it's a wonderful way for us to stay close during pregnancy and physical contact is very important to me.

I'm the same way. I feel bad for my fiancee. His sex drive is more active than mine and I just don't want anything to do with it. I'm 26w3d. I try to give it up once a week but it doesn't always happen.
