Intimacy with partner

Hi all I’m 16 weeks pregnant and within that time my partner has only been intimate with me twice. Is anyone else having this issue? It’s beginning to really get to me now.

My first pregnancy, me and my partner was only intimate once as he didn’t feel comfortable and I wasn’t going to complain. So it may be something similar with your partner or he may think you don’t want it as your pregnant. I’d be honest with him about her you’re feeling 💙

Talk to him find out why it’s happening. could be anything not even related to your pregnancy. Stresses at work, financial issues, family ect you are in a relationship you need open communication otherwise you will feel hurt and it will cause arguments and resentment cxx

My partners the opposite he wants to carry on as normal but I have anxiety about it affecting the baby. Maybe he is worried about that? Or the thought of the baby might just freak him out a bit ? Maybe talk to him x

My husband refuses to go near me whilst I’m pregnant as it freaks him out too much.

You really need to be telling him how you feel about this. Open communication is so important and you need to establish this now (if you haven't already) as it will only grow to be even more important when baby is here. ♥️

@Natalie I've been the same, I just can't shake the worry. Last time we tried, I spent the next couple of days checking for bleeding and worrying 😕

@Em it’s difficult isn’t it. I think I’ll feel safer when I’m 24+ weeks. It scares me until I’m at the “safe” point

@Natalie really difficult, whenever we try I'm just in my head too much worrying. Luckily I've explained it to my husband and he's understanding but it must be frustrating for him.
