As I grow in my pregnancy, my husband feels uncomfortable to have sex with me. Has anyone else experienced this ?

What makes him feel uncomfortable?
The fact that there’s a baby in my body while we’re having sex

I was the one that got uncomfortable during both pregnancies. The second I felt the baby move I was out of the moment and couldn’t mentally get past it.

My husband loves it. But I know it can make some guys uncomfortable: no the baby can’t feel it, no it’s not going to hurt the baby. My baby kicks a lot at night, but if we are doing things I don’t feel him move until after it’s over 😅.

My husband was fine until the last month or so. He was scared of hurting the baby

My husband dosent let it stop him lol we joke that the baby is probably like what the heck is going on out there😂

I’ve heard of this before. I would have your husband speak to your OBGYN about it at one of your appointments and ask questions. But if he’s still uncomfortable then have an honest conversation about it and pray together on it.
we are newly wed. I think this is something to let the Lord handle. I have let it go and just rested in the Lord

My husband was the same way, we only had sex 3 times when I was pregnant and it was all before 20 weeks

Tell him it’s good to have sex while pregnant because it’ll help make your delivery process go a bit smoother (this is actually true as well) so if anything having sex is helping you

I respect your approach. But also understand if you approach every situation this way, it may not always be wise. Stuff like this can easily become a door for spiritual attacks. May God give you clear directions 🙏🏾

It’s more common than not. It’s a mental thing. Some men do not like the idea that their baby is close to where they are. While others love them some pregnant pu**y and want sex. Especially if this is his first, find a video that can explain it to him so he can mental accept he isn’t harming the baby at all. Some cultures believe the dad’s sperm is good for the baby.
