No more intimacy.

Y’all im so over it. I feel unwanted, and I don’t feel loved by my partner. I conceived 4 to 5 months ago and ever since I been pregnant there has been no intimacy. We still hug, kiss, and cuddle. But that’s where it stops, and every time i try to start being intimate he makes an excuse like I need to shower, or it’s late. He turns me down every time. We’ve had plenty of conversations about us having sex and being intimate but it just goes no where. I told him I don’t feel like he loves me, then he pulls we have a baby together if I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t be with you. But COME ON, I feel like that’s a bunch of bs.
LONG STORY SHORT IM OVER AND WOULD JUST RATHER BE ALONE NOW.

Some blokes just feel uncomfortable having sex when there SO is preggers. Like they don't want to hurt the baby and all that

Hugging and kissing is intimacy!
Maybe he just feels weird having sex whilst your pregnant but doesn’t want to say that to you in case you take it the wrong way and think it’s about the way you look rather than the fact there’s a baby in there!

Honestly this is me towards my partner, I just don't like it anymore, still hug, kiss etc just really don't want to be intimate. He does and he doesn't pressure me at all. Some men might think they're going to "hit the baby". Open communication is the only real way to know

I think most people could relate to this. I wouldn't take it personally, I think it's just normal for your partner to feel a bit off about having sex with their partner when they're pregnant. I'm currently 37 weeks, and me and my husband have had sex about 5 times in the past 8/9 months. Weve talked about it alot and although nrither of us are happy about the lack of sex, we understand that both of us are just going through something. As long as your intimate in other ways such as cuddling, kissing, etc, then there's no problem. X

Hugging and kissing is far more intimate than sex in my opinion. Me and husband are like this, I just dont think either of us are in the mood I'm 24weeks and we've had sex maybe 2-3 times... I'm exhausted and sore and feel a bit uncomfortable during sex. I wouldn't worry about it if that's the only issue, it's just sex it's not that important in the grand scheme of things and you will get it back. Is the relationship good apart from that and would you break up cause you arent getting enough sex? Couples go through different stages and people do as well, maybe hes just stressed or tired?

Some men just aren’t sexually attracted to pregnant women. My hubby wasn’t. He said there’s nothing sexy about pregnancy.
I felt like shit during pregnancy due to HG so I agreed it’s not a sexy time (in our household)

Or he cheating if u ask me but who knows that’s lame he should try and please u pregnant women need love too ! He feel like he gone hurt the baby then he should be giving u head all the time and u could give it back

Avatar

why do you think hes cheating? She didnt say anything to indicate that

Avatar

It's annoying when this happens 😒 maybe just an idea if you try to initiate it and he makes an excuse say ok. Get your toy and start pleasing yourself next to him he might than realise your needs

exactly lol 😆

As others have said, really common during pregnancy for men to "lose interest" for a lack of a better phrase for various reasons.
Could be freaked out about there being a baby inside of you, stressed about the reality of having a child and needing to provide hitting, etc etc etc
My partner was like that, we didn't have sex for the last 5 months of pregnancy and was scarce before that.
I'm 8 weeks pp and he's been all over me more in the last 4 weeks than over the whole last year.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.
