Sex......

So were all pregnant on here and all my girlfriends get grossed out when I ask about it but.... does anyone else just not wanna have sex? Im almost 30 weeks and just dont want to do it and my fiance wants it all the time but most of the time when we do it its quick. I mean my fiance is as sexy as ever (nothing like watchin your man use his muscles to set up the crib) and the sweet things he does makes me love him more. But I feel bad not giving him any especially when he tries to be so understanding. Anyone else having this problem?

No I know how you feel when I first started getting bigger I didn't want to at all because of how disgusting I felt and felt I looked. Awful thing now (tmi) is being on strict bed rest and strict pelvic rest and not being able to when you actually really want to lol. Maybe its just the sheer factor of not being "allowed" haha. It's just a phase though, a lot of women go through it as I've seen. It appears to be mostly subconscious or due to our changing bodies. But it could change before your due date, or afterwards at the latest.

I'm the exact same way..  just not sounds amusing to me. I'm 9 weeks and we have been married for two months so these should be our "honeymoon" time and I'm not even in the mood...

I'm like that with this pregnancy and its hard on him especially because with my first I was like a rabbit and wanted it all the time.  We both thought it would be the same this time :( he deals pretty well but I know its hard.

I've been that way this pregnancy. I know it is hard on him not to get any, so he gets a lot of hand jobs. ( sorry if tmi) but at least he gets the release he needs and I don't feel bad for not giving him any.

Foreplay is your new best friend. You can get him close with foreplay so that even short sex can be totally satisfying

I went through that in my first pregnancy i couldnt care less about sex. Its perfectly nornal to feel that way. I would talk to him about it and comprimise. If your ready to go in the morning but not at night im sure he wont miind being woken up for a little action. Good news is your sex drive will.come back eventually aftrr babe is born. This is my second pregnancy and i cant get enough sex! Every pregnancy is different so dont let it fet u down but make sure u talk to your partner because they dont always understand it.

Im 32 weeks n im in the same boat as you. My husband constantly wants to have sex and I dont. Most of the time he tries to get me into the mood but I just don't want to. I feel so big and unattractive.  When we do have sex I let him do all the work.  I feel so guilty n feel like he is going to get tired of waiting.

Its hard especially since he works til 1:15 in the morning and well stay up and talk and then sleep. Ill get up around 8 and sometimes I want to have sex but hes so tired. Any ideas on how to work him up enough to have sex so were both satisfied?

You don't feel your best atm. It's not surprising that you have less interest. It's hard to want sex when you don't feel sexy. And, even with constant reassurance from our significant other, it's hard to feel sexy when you suddenly can't see your toes and shaving is an Olympic sport. He'll understand. Just talk to him about it. And remind him (and you) how great it's going to be when you are yourself again. :)
