I want it...he don't =( (lost, alone, and confused)

[shawnyyluvjl]

This is my Second child but, my first one with my husband who is 18 years older then me. He already has two kids...16 & 13. We are both excited about the baby. We planned him/her. Here is my problem !I want sex and all the same. Before iI was pregnant we had at a lot and even more when we was trying to have a baby. MinMinimum 3-4 times a day ! Now I feel like an addict and want it more then ever but he don't want to. He says and I quote lol "my body hurts and I don't know like I want to do it and then I don't...they baby got me feeling like this"  I'm only 5 weeks .... I joke around and tell him "it's because I'm pregnant" or I'll say "you probably got what you wanted [knocking me up] that you don't feel the need to have sex"  we laugh about it, but I'm starting to think it's true. I don't know what to do, feel, or think. It's getting to me. The father of my first child left when I told him I was pregnant and haven't seen him since. After that I was 3 years single before I met my husband so technically this is my first pregnancy with a partner. I have no one to talk to about this, so jokingly I put on a Facebook status "I need more girlfriends [feeling emotional]" and he got so mad he's not talking to me....is the mood swings part of it ? Please anybody with knowledge to this help me out.

Thank you everyone. I took all of that into consideration. I haven't pushed the thought to him and he feels more relax and not forced. Which is great. I didn't think he felt that way.

you ladies are lucky, I hate sex during pregnancy..it is like a curse!

I completely understand! My partner and I had a lot of sex (3-5 times a day) up until my third trimester. Now I'm lucky to get it twice a day!  I want it all of the time lol. Plus he's on the road a lot for work so when he comes home, all I want is sex. Not sure what the answer to our "problem" is,  but just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

Oh and the fb post... kinda makes him look back or feel embarrassed.  Even if its true and it was said jokingly :)  Good luck!

Look for a website or app for men that educates them about sex during pregnancy. He must have a lot of stress, worries and questions affecting his 'drive'. Have him read it.

Sometimes your hormones effect him. My husband won't sleep with me after the second trimester because he said I am not a turn on to sex but more like an idle on a pedestal to be worshaped and guarded. Still doesn't help my labito. I feel ya. Be patient he may come around. Hevan knows the pressure is finally off he may want a slower paced love life. But still a love life.

Having sex everyday would make a person's body ache. Especially multiple times a day. Especially if he's older. Give the man a break. Plus, pregnancy hormones are going to kick your butt, so anything he says or does might seem worse than it actually is.
