Partner avoiding sex
Show your support
My husband hasn’t wanted sex the whole pregnancy full stop it wierds him out lol so you’re lucky if you’ve had any id say because I’ve had none 😅
Yep! To be fair, my libido has been way down for a while so it’s not much of a problem to me, but yeah, lately even himself isn’t really into it, last time (about a couple of weeks ago), he got pretty in comfortable with the belly and suddenly very conscious that “his little girl is right there”, I think that really did it for him lol. Don’t take it too personally, it’s vey common, especially at such late stage, maybe have a chat with him so he knows how you feel and see what’s going on in his mind.
My partner is same. He finds if wierd coz he can see baby moving. We've had it probz 3 times in last 4 weeks
@Lindsay thank you! Maybe I’ll talk to him then, and see if that’s the case. We were so active before and I still want to but honestly he just seems so disinterested. Tbf he is quite loving in other ways though, so maybe I am overthinking! Xx thank you x
@Zara oh really? Bless you😭😭 it’s only really been these last 2 weeks for me! Xx
@Nina oh bless you/him. I am completely the opposite, really wanting sex😂😂 maybe I’ll have a chat with him and see if he’s feeling the same way- like you said, he may be worrying about baby. Definitely going to speak to him when he wakes up lol xx
@Georgina oh really? I think I need to speak to him! We’ve had sex twice in the last 2 weeks which is soooo not like us at all
I can't remember the last time we had sex maybe a month ago. Now 37 + 3 weeks and we said we would do it more to get labour started but still nothing. I know I'm huge and can't move well but want some comfort feel like he's pulling away
At my 32 week appointment my partner came with me and the midwife said lots of walking and sex is really healthy and sperm helps do something to the cervix, so towards the later end of pregnancy try! I’m 38 weeks today and we have had sex twice in that time 😔. I’ve always had a higher sex drive than him anyway, but he just doesn’t seem interested at the moment
@Jess I feel the same. Feel like he doesn’t find me attractive/or it’s just too much work if you know what I mean. Makes me feel terrible, even went down the route of thinking he was cheating- but I just think it’s more that he isn’t bothered
@Jodie I mentioned this to him a couple of weeks ago when I started on the raspberry tea! I said sex also helps and he smiled😂 but we’ve barely done it. I’ve got a high sex drive too and he doesnt seem interested- so frustrating lol
My husband has felt weird about sex since we found out I was pregnant! We’ve spoken about it and he just find it weird 😂 I’m sure things will go back to normal when they’re here xx
He says I am and that he loves me each day. I'm not sure whether it's because I'm complaining how much harder everything is now 💁♀️ but even in the second trimester when he knew my sex drive was crazy he still didn't seem bothered 😔 my partner is definitely a hard one to read and doesn't tend to communicate and share emotions very well either
It's the opposite for me and my partner 😂 he constantly wants sex and I just don't as much, my sex drive has dropped in pregnancy I think

My midwife spoke to my partner on Tuesday and told him he needs to give me some sex 🤣🤣 I'm 38+4 and got my sweep at 39 weeks
My partner isn't interested either, we probably had sex once or twice a week before but I'm lucky if it's once a fortnight now 🤣😭 he says he is freaked out by baby moving if he can see/feel it it puts him off. We're also living in my parents house waiting for ours to be renovated so there's always loads of people here which doesn't help as I know he hates that. I said to him yesterday FFS we need to soften my cervix you're gonna have to get a grip and give me sex 🤣
Am in the same boat, only had sex in 1 trimester maybe like twice… after that it’s been zero action, like more than 5 months, I’ve just come to accept it and hopefully when I give birth we can go back to the way things used to be xx
My partners the same… he’s scared to even hug me incase he squashes me too hard! 🙈 he just finds it strange as baby boy moves so much too, he’s expressed his thoughts/feelings and why and I understand tbh. I’m big and uncomfortable so it just kills the moment too (getting into positions etc is a right struggle)!!! It is weird as we used to have sex every other day or so too and now it’s been 4 weeks 😅
Mine is the same he finds it strange and off putting me being pregnant and his baby being inside. We spoke about it any it's something he won't do and hasn't for probably 4 weeks now but he is being really supportive and lovely rubbing creams into bump and just cuddling me xx
