Lack of Intimacy

Does anyone else feel like intimacy has gone out of the window since being pregnant? I love my husband dearly but he does not want to have sex anymore - we used have sex multiple times a week, it was a big part of our love language. Its been weeks. Ive brought it up and he just says hes tired but that never stopped us before 🙈

Hey hun! Perhaps try having a deeper conversation maybe he's worried about baby! Or feels he needs to be more careful for you and baby's safety.. idk if it's your first baby maybe he's stressed as well as physically tired! From my experience that usually drifts his mind away from intimacy for some time. But nothing worrying! Wish you the best x

We had this with our first, my husband was worried about the baby and basically couldn't associate my body with sex without also associating it with the baby which he understandably found too weird! It took a while to come back after baby was born but in the meantime, suggest you find other things like non-sexual massage, dinners out, etc.

Same situation. It’s really messing with my self esteem. He swears it was working OT that made him too tired but he’s been off extra shifts for a week now and no change. I’ve gotten in bed naked and he couldn’t be any less interested. I’ve made comments about it and he just plays them off. I’m almost too afraid to verify that me being so hugely pregnant is a turn off to him so I’ve just left it at he’s tired even though I think that’s just an excuse.
