sex life?

We have been having some issues bc he feels weird about it now that I'm pregnant and says it feels different so we rarely have successful interaction. I'm coming around and am getting my libido back. I am 12 wks now but he is having a tough time still. Anyone else have that issue or any advice? Trying to find positions that help us feel close despite my rapidly growing belly. We think it's probably normal but no one talks about men's problems during his BMPs pregnancy.

I'm 15 weeks and my sex life is none existent... its weird because I'm having the dirtiest dreams which put me right in the mood!!!!... but he just doesn't seem interested even if I say I'm horney. Saying that we haven't talked about it so I'm not sure what it is..  but it's more than likely because ive had misscarrages that he and I suppose me are worried? I've also been really ill so probably not all that sexy right now :(

My husband was weirded out about it at first, but then I was put on pelvic rest for 3 months...now that I'm finally allowed to have sex again he's realized he doesn't care as much lol. I think it helped that he was in the room & actually heard the Dr say it was ok for us to have sex.

Rapidly growing belly at 12 weeks?? You may just be a little bloated.

My husband is one of the men it makes uncomfortable, And honestly it has been difficult as we have only been intimate together a number of times but it is only 9 months and he assures me he loves me and that when things are back to normal that our sex life will go back to normal. just try to be understanding and patient maybe he will come around.

My hubby was the same way (first trimester) I had to explain the mucus plug to him and reassure it would be ok. Then when we were both willing to we still weren't as often he explained I am complaining about being uncomfortable and what not. I didn't realize that so I just had to make a point of telling him I was up for it and/or initiating it.

I totally get the claustrophobic in missionary, wait til the lil person protests that position... soo not sexy. For the record my insides moved as ur husband is saying urs have. To the point where in 5 months I've had one orgasm. And trust me, that put a chink in my husbands mojo too not being able to 'be a man'. We just keep at it. Lucky my boobs were always his favorite thing, and are already at 23 weeks in e/f cups... if sex is bothering him and oral isnt enough, try having a look for suggestions for women in relationships who want to maintain their virginity until marriage. They have whole lists for alternatives for both of u that dont involve penatration. Good luck

We have tried other positions and stuff. He says it feels funny, physically. He says he feels the difference and that's half the battle. All good advice though. As far as the size, it's more my belly. I'm bigger than I expected to be already and I feel claustrophobic in missionary which is usually our preferred position.

My unborn father won't have anything to do with me because he does not want the baby. I'm very horny when I'm pregnant. So I have to handle things myself per say. Lol I can't have sex with another man at this time. I feel it would be disrespectful to my child and me. The though grosses me out. But with my sons father we had sex from behind and side, and oral. Hope he gets comfortable and gets over it lol

I am really sorry, some men don't get bothered like my husband and others are turned off like my friends husband who they don't have sex for the whole pregnancy.  She quiet about details so not sure what takes place over all in their relationship.  Could oral sex work for both of you or I would invest in some good toys to help with my needs.  Really sorry you are having this trouble.

Do it doggy style or on your side having them skiing you from behind that way doesn't have to think about the baby and probably playing some music while you're having sex would be better because then he can concentrate on the music rather than the thought that he's having sex with somebody who is having his baby trust me he will get over it but he's got to understand and you got understand that nothing you're going to do sex wise so long as it's normal he's going to hurt the baby his penis will not touch it

At 12 weeks it really shouldnt be a hassle caise the baby is literally the size of a small kiwi. I'm 29 weeks and have no problem besides discomfort from my huge belly. Maybe you could try role play. take his mind of the tiny baby inside you.
