Unattractive

Hi, I'm 32 weeks pregnant with my first child & still find myself longing after my husband, but each time I make a move on him he finds an excuse to not have sex with me. I know he's still got a high sex drive as he'll use porn but now I'm starting to get paranoid and feel I can't speak to him about it as he'll blame the baby or the fact we're temporarily residing with parents.  There is no passion in our relationship at all, my maternity underwear is euch and I did dress up sexy for him & he asked for a back scratch :(

Any one any advice on best way to make him understand I'm still his wife who wants to make love to her husband! I'm getting really upset about this.

Or suggest the different positions so he can't see the belly?

Some guys are definitely turned off from the pregnant body..my ex was like that when I got bigger only position he would do it was from behind so he couldn't see my belly and also frequently watched porn when he "thought" i was sleeping..it made me feel awful..not much you can do unfortunately..maybe tell him that you feel ugly to him if you haven't already and he can explain it to you?
I'm pregnant now with my new man and what a change he finds me beautiful in every way..good luck and sorry you have to feel rejected :(

Sex in parents house is weird no matter what.  I wouldn't want my parents to over hear us having sex.

I'm going through the same thing, but just newly pregnant, not big yet, and he still wont touch me. I feel super frustrated and unwanted and rejected. Impossible not to feel that way. Not sure what to do. Love him immensely and he is good to me, we're just platonic right now which ***** super badly...

Talk to him about it. Ask him to give up porn if he won't have sex. If he can jack off in your parents' house, he can have sex there.

i think some guys find it weird to have sex when a bby is growing inside or might hurt the bby. my husband was the same and we talked about it with my first so u should speak to him and make him understand how u are feeling. u might feel unattractive but just know u r carrying a life! n itll pass. i wish u luck!!!
