having a very difficult time

I'm not sure how to tell my boyfriend that I'm just don't comfortable with having sex while I'm pregnant. Ever since about 16 weeks it just weirds me out. I've been having Braxton hicks that stated around that time and after sex one night I had a bad contraction.. I keep telling him it's because I'm not comfortable or in the mood even though I am.. I feel terrible and ashamed.. What should I do..

He is so understanding and such a sweety but I'm just upset that I haven't been telling him why. I know he will understand. Sex has always been some what difficult abd painful for me because I'm such a small chick and now it's just harder to ignore the pain and enjoy the time because I get so worried about the baby

I'm about 4-6 weeks pregnant.  Still early days. I don't think I will be having sex again until after the baby is due :)

You should never feel ashamed.  Sex should only be done with the mutual agreement of both partners.  If you don't feel comfortable.  Then there's no need to continue having sex. I'm sure he will understand eventually.  You shouldn't feel obliged to have sex to keep him happy. You should do it when you want

to and you're 100% ready for it. My boyfriend would completely understand. He's not really that bothered about sex anyway. We do at most twice a month.  Majority of the times it's just once a month. That's his decision completely. Whenever sex hurt for me especially the first 3-4 months of our sexual relationship.  He would always suggest stopping. He's loving, caring and considerate.
