sex while pregnant

[jojoscoot]

Hi this is my first pregnancy.
I think I kind of having a serious problem I love my husband to moon and back but it seems like since I got pregnant I don't want anything to do with Sex,we didnt have sex for almost 3  and halt month now,am afraid he may start thinking I don't love him anymore though he's a understanding man. Can some give me a advice?

Just talk to him. He may be understanding that your preggers and just not in the mood on his own but a little conversation can't hurt either.  My sex drive sky-rocketed  during pregnancy. Unfortunately, some men (mine) are worried that if they do have sex it could hurt the baby. So a little understanding has to be had all around. Good luck.

I very much felt that way my first trimester, I think some of it was that I was so tired. But my sex drive has risky returned (i'm 17 weeks) so you might not always feel the way you do now. I also think that sometimes it's ok to do it even if you're not 100% into it. It's a part of an intimate relationship, and helps you too feel more connected and have a deeper bond. You might get more excited about it once things get going ;)
It was really helpful for my sweetie to read about common pregnancy symptoms like that. I'd tell him but for some reason once he read an article or two, he started to really get that what I was feeling would pass and was totally normal.

If your husband is not upset or forcing you to have sex, he is showing respect for you and that is great. As women, we should not feel that we have to engage in sex to receive love...but it is loving and kind gesture to go ahead and initiate some Sexual intimacy every now and then when we don't "feel like it". I would go ahead and have the conversation with your husband...honey, being pregnant I font feel very Sexual but I want you to know that I love you. As your wife I do want to have sex with you, but it may take me a bit more cuddling, kissing, foreplay right now to get into the mood....Give him hugs and be ready to cuddle. After baby is born, sex will be even less important to you, and so you need to find relationship balance.

I felt the same, especially towards the end of my pregnancy and to be honest I just did it anyways, for him.I'm not saying "definitely do it", you should decide how you feel and if you're up for it. You said he's very understanding, so maybe tell him to take his time and be very gentle. If you decide not to have sex, make sure you tell him how much you appreciate his patience and that it's got nothing to do with him. Good luck with everything!

Lol.. most pregnant woman feel the same way. Sometimes you want nothing to do with sex and other times your sex drive goes high.

Anyway you can always cuddle, go on date together before baby because it can be difficult to go on dates alone without worrying abt bubs later.

And congrats ;)
