Sex

Anybody else’s partner been less of a sex drive since being pregnant ? He claims he’s tired etc And I hate to complain because he’s amazing in every other way and is always kissing and cuddling me but it’s just the intimacy I’ve spoke to him a couple times about it and he just says he’s tired and stressed but it’s only been a few weeks but still is this normal?? I’ve not really been in a long term comfortable relationship before so I’m not sure if it’s normal Xxx

I’m the complete opposite and my partner and I haven’t had sex for over 3 months, I feel absolutely terrible but I just don’t fancy it at all!? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Some guys just don't like sex when they know your carrying thier child. He might be saying he tires cause he doesn't want to upset you. Its normal for some not to want it.

Me and my partner are the opposite, his sex drive hasn’t changed but mine has, more just because I feel unwell vast majority of the time and I’m exhausted and I feel quite insecure lately. I feel absolutely awful for him because I want to give him the intimacy that he wants but I’m just not up to it. Some men do get funny about having sex when a woman’s pregnant, even heard some say they’re worried they will hurt the baby 😅 xx

My partner is the same but I just think he feels nervous as there is baby inside x

My fiancé is the same. He says he finds me more attractive than ever now I’m carrying his child but his Sex drive has just gone. He worries about the baby being in there and is always thinking about the baby, he worries about me getting water infections etc (as I’ve suffered with them during my pregnancy and it seems to be triggered mainly by sex) and obviously my bump is a reminder she’s in there. I do overthink it sometimes but my Sex drive was gone for the first 20 weeks of pregnancy because I felt so rubbish so I can’t expect him not to feel a certain way too. Being intimate in other ways definitely helps. Seems pretty normal I think from what I’ve seen online / heard from others xx

I spoke to my husband about this. Firstly I’m not in the mood at all, I used to be very fit and in shape, and now very uncomfortable and big being pregnant with twins, now 24 weeks pregnant. Also, since finding out we are having two girls, he just said he can’t get his head in the mood knowing his little girls are in my tummy. Also, since he has felt them kick and move etc. We still cuddle and kiss. But neither of us are in the mood. If I was and he wasn’t, I would respect his thoughts on it.

It doesn’t have to be all the time me and my partner only do it very so often x

Both mine and my husbands sex drives have gone down, I'm just too tired and he is terrified of hurting me or the baby. We are still as affectionate with each other as we have always been though, so I'm not taking it too negatively
