Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.

Hows your nonsexual intimacy?

Avatar

Ask him what his problem is and tell him you’re a woman with needs too. Save all that waiting for when your postpartum and can’t have sex for 6 weeks

Maybe try other forms of ‘sex’. Oral and toy play might not be as connecting as penetration sex, but might help you fee more connected. Be open about how you’re feeling, your want for sex, and maybe share ways with him that he can pleasure you that he might feel more comfortable doing.

If you’re both still wanting to be sexually active then you just need to find something you’re both comfortable with and still feels good. If it helps also, maybe bring him to a midwife appointment with you and he can ask the midwife his questions or they might be able to speak him through the fact sex is safe xx

Me and my partner feared that we were hurting our little girl, and as long as you are not bleeding and you feel fetal movement afterwards. You’re all good. And if it’s uncomfortable, switch positions. Trust you can make sex haveable still

Why are you getting sex advise from a mom group, this is pathetic just get a toy it’s the same ending

My partner and I don’t have sex when I’m pregnant because we both don’t want to. He’s always been worried of hurting me or baby (even tho he knows it’s very rare to do that) and I find sex super sore and uncomfy when pregnant.

We both miss it but pregnancy isn’t forever and it will come back.

As others have said - what’s your non sexual intimacy like? Relying on this heavily will help just now..

Relationships have periods like this, you could develop auto immune diseases, cancer etc things a lot worse than will impact sex and this is why non sexual intimacy is crucial. If your relying on sex to feel loved by your partner you will resent him when he says no, which also isn’t okay x

Advice please on where I can report my employer

This morning I had to call an ambulance because my 2 year old went pale and was struggling to breath. They came and gave him oxygen and steroids. They said it was a pretty bad case of croup cough and booked a follow up app later on today to see if he needs another dose of the steroids. I called my boss (the owner of the small buisness) to tell her I won’t be coming and she went crazy on me saying she has a life too she needs to take her kids to swimming class and make dinner. I’m shocked at how she reacted and compared her situation to mine. In general that place is really understaffed and I’ve been working for weeks without an actual day off, we also get lunch deducted from our pay but we have to eat while working due to being understaffed. I’m currently pregnant and because my son was ill the past few days I’ve not been sleeping so today I started hallucinating and felt like I’m gonna pass out few times during the day. I am so mentally drained from this place being toxic and I feel like I can’t quit cause I won’t get any maternity pay later on, I’m thinking to report her but I don’t know where

Advice

So in my relationship for about 6 years now lots of ups and downs and not looking for divorce just curious if all men are like this or just mine his love language is sex not physical affection just like sex yk and I’ve had a rough relationship with sex and he knows I have problems when it comes to arguing just consistently pushing will get me to agree cause I’m over it and just always asking for it but wants me to surprise him with sex or saying the main reason he does stuff for me is to increase the chances of sex or when I say no I’m not feeling well I have a chronic illness and I’m 7 months pregnant and he thought he would get laid more cause I said maybe I would have a higher libido but he takes it as a promise I’m just venting at this point but that’s how it’s been and says he regrets another kid because of my low libido and mostly married me when I had a higher one and it makes me not want any more kids with him and makes me feel really depressed is all men like this

Looking for accountability buddy!!

Hi mamas!!

I'm looking for someone to text with for accountability!! I workout every day in some way, shape, or form but it's definitely a tad boring without a buddy to brag to!! I'd love to find someone who wants to share workout progress, weight loss and sculpting progress, workout plans and meals plans, and just general mama chatting with me as we go on our fitness journey!! Fitness is so much more fun with a buddy!

I currently do a lot of treadmill walking/running, pilates, diastasis recti core healing, intermittent fasting, and healthy eating.

I'm also a total nerd. I love suduko, chess, drawing and coloring, reading and writing, crocheting, DIY projects, and Pinterest is my life.

Comment if you want an Accountability Buddy!! 💜🖤
