I’m sorry if this is tmi but I’m looking for advice and didn’t know where else to go. My boyfriend and I weren’t together long before I fell pregnant, the pregnancy was a shock but we’re happy and our relationship is good, sex was always good with us and we’re compatible and both enjoy a high sex drive. I wouldn’t say I’ve noticed a huge difference in sex drove since becoming pregnant and I’m also quite fortunate that I’m 22 weeks and have only put on 2lb so don’t look particularly pregnant. I have an anterior and low lying placenta and it’s caused some bleeding but not pain and lots of checks have deemed baby is completely healthy, they advised no extreme exercise or rough sex but said it was absolutely fine for us to have sex. In the last week/10’days he hasn’t wanted to have sex and I haven’t pushed it, I made a joke about it last night and he brushed over it, we had sex today (kind of) as in the lead up was all fine everything in working order until we started to have sex and everything .. stopped working. I don’t know if I’m being paranoid but I feel like he’s not attracted to me now I’m pregnant and I’ve asked him and he basically told me to wise up and stop being silly but we’ve never had this issue before. Could it be to do with the pregnancy issues with the placenta or I dunno my head is spinning

Sounds a bit like he is scared due to the bleeding and the extra checks and could have put him down that he can't enjoy your usual sexy time in case something happens. There are men that will stop having sex once their partner starts showing/is further on caz they think they will hurt the baby even if medically its completely okay.

I agree with the above, it seems like the bleeding has scared him and he’s worried about hurting the baby. I didn’t have any issues and towards the end my partner was freaking out thinking he could hurt the baby. We just talked everything through. I’d recommend having a proper conversation. Hopefully you’ll get a better response other than telling you to wise up

It’s so normal to look at it that way. I had the exact same thoughts as my partner didn’t initially come out and say he was scared. I had to ask questions for him to actually tell me. You got this 🙌🏼

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”

Sex drive increased

My sex drive has sped up a bit. Is this normal after a baby?

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠
