feeling unattractive...

Any other ladies missing their sex lives? I've been a big ball of horny my whole pregnancy, but hubby & I have only had sex 3 times in 29 weeks. He tells me I'm beautiful & I know he loves me & we have a really healthy, happy marriage-but I can't help but feel like he isn't sexually attracted to me right now. Normally I don't have these insecurities, but he hasn't touched me in weeks, and I caught him watching porn today-which honestly doesn't usually bother me at all. I get that guys watch it, hell, I watch it too. I also get that masterbation is normal & healthy & usually have no problem with that either-it bothers me now because I tried to initiate sex this morning & he told me he was really tired & not in the mood at all-so I dropped it, because I wasn't going to push him & then I catch him watching porn & taking care of himself a few hours later. Not great for my confidence level today...

Going to talk to him about it. See if I can't get A dialogue going. Just want him to know how I feel.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! You're not alone! I'm frustrated with my husband as well,  I'm the one coming on to him just to be constantly turned down :( Then... come to find out he's watching porn taking care of himself as well! I, like you don't mind him watching it here and there and taking care of himself but it makes me feel terrible that he would rather take care of himself on his own than have sex with me! It really ***** and I feel extremely unattractive as well :(

Honestly, the physical intimacy is the only thing missing for us right now-otherwise he's very attentive & helpful-I just don't feel like he's sexually attracted to me right now & it makes me sad. 2 out of the 3 times we have had sex, I had to initiate it & he keeps his eyes closed for most of it-which I never noticed him doing before. I love this baby & I wear my belly with pride, but sometimes I would still like to feel sexy & desired too. I've always been a bigger girl-and I haven't gained much weight-only about 12 lbs, but my belly is already huge & I have 11 weeks to go!!
