is anyone elses partner avoiding sex?

ever since we found out iv been pregant my partner has avoided sex like its a plage!

IM 22 WEEKS PREGNANT THATS A LONG LONG TIME TO BE WITH OUT!


I always try and turn him on and he just either compleatly ignors me or tells me hes not in the mood!
i dont no if its just because of the baby or something else mayb he dose not find me attractive any more, thats def how its making me feel!

we are always arguing over it too. Just wondered if anyone elses outher half was not putting out?

I'm turning my husband down, he wants it all the time but since I've been pregnant I don't want it as much but I try to please him at least once a week.

We were restricted in the beginning so that part was easy, then it was lifted and the first time was actually decent except for feeling like a beached whale and totally unattractive at the time. The second time (most recent) we both admitted it was incredibly akward and I don't think we will be attempting it again and for the most part it is okay with both of us. I do miss it at times but I know my husband gets nervous and so do I so it doesn't seem worth it. Plus last time I had two light spots afterwards and that pretty much settled it for me - no more till after they are born.

My husband and I were having that problem as well....you just have to sit down and talk about, tell him how you feel, ask whats going on...for us, he was afraid that he might hurt the baby or me!! Which is sweet, but I let him read in, "What to Expect when you are expecting", and on the internet...that he won't hurt me or the baby....plus he is not THAT big!!!  hahah

im the one whos always making the effort and trying to turn my man on, but nothing. its always exuses like im too tired or im too stressed, and theres me thinking its soposed to be stress RELIEF, i feel like im being out of order even trying sometimes and then hel say something like "god your a nympho" i mean really! does once a fortnight make me a nympho? i know what you mean angelbabies i completely understand it does make you feel unatractive, there all ready to do it when we are slim and prouncing around in just our knickers......yeah thats sexy but not with our big boobs and our bellies! i thought pregnant women were sposed to be irresistable to men... yeah right! maybe it is just the fact they think they are gonna poke baby in the eye?! i dont know all i know is we have to lay there and act interested to please them why cant they do it for us?!

same here I'm the one turning him down, I fill real bad but, I just don't fill like it ever! if we finally have sex then it is unfortunately because I fill guilty and I just get it over with. he is so patient with me. hopefully a little sex drive comes back!

That's funny cause I'm the one turning him down. I love sex with him normally but it has just become uncomfortable and sometimes painful. There are still good nights where it will feal really good but then I'm still in a little pain afterward. I can't wait to have a lil' bit of a normal sex life with him again!

it;s funny because my fiance goes both ways, sometimes he is begging me and i am tired all the time and then when we do it, he gets all freaked out and thinks he hurt the baby and says he does not want to do it again.  it is so funny.
