sexually frustrated please help

So my boyfriend and I both think it's weird to have sex. It makes it harder and not as comfortable for me and it's harder for him to get aroused knowing our baby is right there. Masterbation is out of the question I'm not into it. I feel very wanting to have sex but not at the same time. So how on earth am I supposed to deal with my sexual frustration? I'm 32 weeks it's alredy been 7+ months since the last time.  :(

Im 8 months pregnant and my husband finds me more sexualy attractive than before. What you do have to keep in mind is that it has to be slower than before and you have to find creative positions that work for you:)

My sex drive has driven off somewhere lol I'm 19wks and would prefer to sleep. My partner is pretty understanding about it but he is a man and has needs so I do feel for him. I'm not gonna be pregnant forever and it may come back but after baby is born  theres plenty of time to catch up :-)

Sex is fine during any stage of pregnancy aslong as you haven't  been told by your doctor or midwife not to because of some problems. My df and I used to find "spooning" a comfortable position when I was in late pregnancy. Maybe google some information for your partner to read about sex during pregnancy.

Sex is safe during pregnancy unless you are told by your doctor not to... I haven't been able go since week 24-- I'm 35 weeks and going insane!!! I can start again at 36/37 weeks to help labor along though... just 1-2 more weeks and its on!!! With my daughter I had sex from the day my hubby got home from deployment (34 weeks) all the way up to the day I went into labor (38 weeks)

Totally understand, the last time we tried at 36 weeks we just ended up in a giggling fit as it was so time consuming and difficult. Gave up after 20 minutes. Not trying to get too personal but you could always try other things together if your not into masterbation. What about oral sex or toys? You can both get your jollies together without the awkward feelings x

Im 19+4 wks and alway horney! Boobs are huge and extra sensitive so I'm alway aroused and feeling sexy :) My husband is turned off and afraid of harming the baby. I have no other options other than masterbation several times a week.

I'm 30 weeks and my man finds me highly attractive at this point but in my end my sexual drive has gone down. Even though its gone down he does whatever he can to make it so I'm turned on... mine isn't because of the baby movements mine is cause I'm so tired cause I work 40 hrs

Unless told otherwise sex is.recomended.during pregnancy it helps your body.prepair and when it's time helps with labor do some research. I find if I lay in my.sise facing away he doesn't see my belly lol and j van watch TV lol it will also help keep yall close during this hormonal time. Best of luck sweet

I'm 32wks today, last time me and my bf had sex a was 27wks and it was super akward for him which made me feel uncomfortable. He hasn't made any effort to try again but I'm going crazy!! Last night we were laying in bed and he turned his phone in and I caught a glimpse of porn, which tells me he's got a sex drive just not with me. Needless to say there was an argument and tears on my part. Idk what to do, I wish he was like a lot of other guys and didn't let my body or the baby bother him :-(
