not sexy :-(

So my husband is in the military and just came back from a course abroad after 3 months. I am now 32 weeks pregnant and he is freaked out by the belly, he doesn't want to have sex anymore and hardly ever touches me or cuddles up to me. I feel so unsexy and really don't like how the pregnancy changed our relationship. Also everyone keeps telling me how the baby changes the relationship even more and obviously there's no sex after giving birth either. Guess I'm just looking for some positive relationship stories. How did the baby influence your relationship and love life?

Yeah we've talked already, he just says he doesn't want to have sex because he doesn't want to hurt me or baby. He also tells me I'm sexy and beautiful but I just find it hard to believe when he can't sleep with me. Hope he'll be back to normal once baby is here.

Yeah I tend to agree, my husband is away for 4 weeks at a time then home for one, so my belly would be much bigger each time he was home, he doesn't treat me any different and always tells me I look amazing even know I feel huge and gross and sex is not an issue for us, it's always been the same before, during and after children and that is awesome! Time to have a chat to hubby, I'm sure you will still make him feel sex when he is fat bald and grey, he needs to stick by you when your not at your best too!
