I need some advice!

Me and my boyfriend are expecting our first baby in December, before I became pregnant we were constantly having sex as I have always had a high sex drive but now I am 26 weeks pregnant and we haven’t had sex in about 4/5 months. My boyfriend is very scared about hurting me or the baby so has been avoiding it completely (even head).
I masturbate sometimes when I get really horny but I just want that intimacy back with him.
What can I do?

He can’t hurt the baby! As long as you have been cleared for sex by your doctor, just listen to your body and the positions you are in. You shouldn’t be on your back for long periods of time right now, so from behind, or laying on your side, are all great options. Maybe do some research and show your bf that he can’t hurt the baby.

Sex is actually good for the pregnancy he can’t even reach the baby 😂😂look it up and let him see it maybe that will reassure him

My boyfriend would not sleep with me for months while I was pregnant lmao, I think we did it maybe twice after finding out I was pregnant and it made me so upset, especially because we didn’t realise it was the fact I was pregnant that completely depleted his sex drive, I was hysterical a few times because I thought he didn’t find me attractive anymore ect, but the second we had our baby, he’s been all over me, it does end lmao

Tell him sex is good in pregnancy. Maybe try to talk to your midwife with him present about this and let her help ease his worries also x

Job recommendations

What do you do for a living? I live in Kent and I'm looking for a new job. I don't want to commute to London but I need something that pays 35k at least. I have a law degree but have been working in admin for the last decade.

Im looking for new job ideas. What do you do? Is it compatible with family life?

Christmas gifts

Family members have started asking what my LO wants for Christmas. I feel like he doesn’t really need too much but he’s got a big family who are all obsessed with him and want to buy (I’m very lucky - not complaining). He’ll be 7 months by then and I was wondering if there’s anything anyone can think of?
