Intimacy

Not gonna lie. This has been a mental battle for me. Since I got pregnant we have been in intemit but not had sex once.
I have struggled with it also and have cried many times apologising to him as I feel bad but as its my first baby I feel so weird with her kicking and then the thought of sex.
Hoping it sorts its self after birth lol

We are the same, my partner says it feels weird for him knowing a baby is inside me. And if I'm honest, I'm not feeling sexy or like I want to be intimate in that way myself. We cuddle and hold hands and kiss and that feels right for us at the moment. I think all couples are different, just do what feels right for you x

honestly sex has been the last thing ive been thinking about with being pregnant ive just been constantly sore and tired so my partner understands i know hes finding it harder than me but I keep telling him it won't be for long once im fully recovered from having the baby were go to go and then always end with just dont get me pregnant again lol

I feel exactly the same, I'm 29 weeks and neither me or my partner are interested in sex atm. I felt the same with my first baby, but my libido returned after I gave birth. So dont worry, it wont last forever!

Honestly, last pregnancy hubby was weird about it, I was ok, this pregnancy I'm not feeling it as much but he's ok with it. Neither of us care though because we know it will come back. We aren't planning on going anywhere we got the rest of our lives and have been together since we were teens so we know it goes up and down depending on what life throws at us next.

I had sex twice since pregnant . I am 35 weeks pregnant. Partner mentioned it a few times then realized it wasnt us it was pregnancy . And we are both looking foward to go back to normal :) x

I wouldn’t worry it’s pretty normal. My husband says it’s weird because there’s two babies in there and jokes that one will grab him to lighten the mood 🤣🤣 but being pregnant and sex .. ye no thanks 😅 I have absolutely no interest in sex this pregnancy (my last pregnancy I was the opposite 🤷🏼‍♀️)

Don’t beat yourself up!

My hormones and craziness have been up and down and myself and my husband had sex a good few times a week prior, say we have a good balance. But 3rd and 1st trimester with being uncomfy and not well it’s so hit and miss.

There is this absolute rubbish that people think your super horny the moment you get pregnant until birth. It just doesn’t work like that!

Your doing the miracle growing the baby ❤️

My husband also finds it weird when I’m pregnant, he was the same last time around too. In the early days I found it difficult as it felt like a rejection but now, I couldn’t think of anything worse! 🤣
It does come back over time but I wouldn’t expect an immediate return to action, I know that’s the case for some people but you’ll be tired, broken nights, possibly breastfeeding… all these things have a massive impact on your libido.
If you can find ways to have intimacy without sex involved I think it helps as you still feel close and connected, but - like said - it’s also just a phase in your life together and it will change again 😊

My partner has been the other way around, he literally won’t leave me alone even though I’m walking around like a fat Adam Sandler. I honestly couldn’t think of anything worse right now 😂

My ex was the same as your partner though and it always personally gave me the ick because it’s just so immature to me. Pregnancy is the most amazing thing in the world and men should appreciate that. Calling it weird is little boy behaviour 😩

I have to say my husbands the same, I feel like a small pet whale, and he’s like so sexy. I’m sure he needs his eyes testing 🤣
