maybe tmi...

My boyfriend has officially told me we arent having sex until after the baby is born. Im only 33 weeks and we haven't done anything in 2 weeks. He says he is scared he'll hurt it or feel it kick, even if I tell him that wont happen. Any idea how I can change his mind?

You should definitely look into getting a toy. If you don't think a dildo will do the trick, get a bullet.

Its hard for my fiance too. He also thinks its weird, but its more so because we like to have rough sex and obviously are limited during pregnancy, so it just doesn't get him going as much.  Definitely try to do other things if he doesn't want to have sex. Try a toy together or oral. My fiance can get me off pretty easy with his hands too. There are other ways to get off if he doesn't want to have sex but you should still be intimate. I'm 38 weeks now and don't know if we will have sex again or not, but I haven't given up. Lol.

Ima be honest, my husband and I havent stopped having sex at all throughout my pregnancy. Of course I get worried hes going to do something to the baby or me because.... well im 5'3 and hes 6'5. Big difference. But I spoke to my doc and she said the same as others would. Sex is healthy for pregnancy and the most natural way to induce labor. Maybe its just a turn off for him? Some men are that way... some dont care some get sketched. Maybe a toy or something can help u if he dont change his mind?

My husband and I have sex all the time! Im 31 weeks almost 32. I can't keep him off me lol. But I understand where hes coming from. I get scared hes gonna break my water sometimes or put me into labor because he likes having rough sex. And lately the only position im comfortable in is doggy and he goes crazy. But he keeps telling me hes not gonna break my water so I trust him. I've even heard people say having a healthy sexual relationship while pregnant helps when it comes time to delivering. Tell him there is no worries lol

No advise my husband begs for sex and about cries if say no. I have found if he says no something is up.  You boyfriend should not be grossed out by you being pregnant, yes baby is in there and yes pregnancy is not completely sexy. He should think you are the most sexy thing in the world because you are giving life to his child. Good luck girl hope you get some soon.

My husband was like that at first. I don't think there's anything you can do to convince him. It's something he'll need to convince himself. However I'm now 38 weeks and I haven't felt the urge to have sex at all. So we've come to the agreement that we won't until afterwards. Hopefully he comes around though

@tasha30214 ive tried. He pushes me off, not hard but enough that I just give up. I try telling him and reading articles that say its safe and he says its too weird. I wont be able to wait almost 4 months!

It doesn't hurt the baby at all. My husband thought the same thing and we spoke to our doctor.  He said in no way will any man's penis be able to reach the baby's head (even if the baby is fully engaged in the pelvis), and there's nothing dangerous about it.
