Husband & sex

I’m 30+ weeks and my husband has been putting off sex. I confronted it tonight and he said he just doesn’t feel comfortable having sex with me pregnant. Anyone else had this? Has made me feel shit tbh and more unattractive/huge than I already feel

Is he still affectionate towards you?

@Elisa somewhat, he’s very kind and helpful, will hold my hand out etc.

My husband is the same, he's incredibly caring and affectionate and to be fair I get it. We had a difficult start to pregnancy with high risks and he was so anxious about making something worse (and not being in the mood - either of us with the stress). Then I'm rhesus Neg so if I bleed even a little a bit I have to go and sit in the MAU for 8 hours to get anti-D 🙃🙃 so that's put us off. My baby is a real mover and shaker and I think that also puts him off - like having a "person" there constantly jiggling about! At first I felt a bit hurt but now I honestly don't think I could do the deed whilst baby is kicking the shit out of me too. Both for discomfort reasons and for just being hugely distracting and weird! I wouldn't take it that he finds you unattractive. It's probably that he's thinking so much about the baby being there / anxious about making something go wrong. It is a bit shit but I'm looking forward to when baby's here and settled and we can get back into it again!

@Emma I’m rhesus neg too! He had this in our first pregnancy but not this early/to this extent. Thank you for this perspective, this really helped x

Yeah the thought of having to follow every sexy session with sitting in MAU for hours really kills the mood 🙃🙃🙃
