I’m genuinely struggling getting in the mood and enjoying sex, it’s so uncomfortable right now and i’m just feeling discouraged. I know it’s just temporary but it just sucks feeling like if i’m not having fun he isn’t either. We’ve been together for almost 9 years and have always had a fun sex life. I’m literally crying after sex just feeling so bleh and like it’s never going to go back to the way it was. Someone please tell me it does get better 😭 Also save the “omg can’t relate i can’t get enough” comments, everyone’s pregnancy is different

Yes I feel like a whale and it’s very awkward. Maybe change into a comfortable position. What works for us is my back towards him and .. you can imagine the rest. And yes it does get better… after you have the baby and fully heal 😭

OMG ME TOO!!!! I’ve been spiraling over this, because sex means so much to my husband and I. But being this big and pregnant has made it almost impossible to even get in that mindset. You’re not alone don’t worry. From what I’ve read online, after you have the baby and heal, sex feels 100x better, and it could even upgrade sensations from before you got pregnant. Also I feel like having a baby with someone just ignites that passion that’ll make sex so nice once you have your baby out lol

It can be really discouraging! I’m feeling very unsexy, not in the mood, sore, and to top it all off whenever we DO start doing anything the baby starts kicking me or moving around and it takes me out. But I’ve been told that this stage is normal, temporary, and you have the rest of your life to get back in the swing of sex with your husband so it’s just a chapter, not forever.
