My bf and I have been together for about 3 years and he was the one who suggested we try to have a baby. We are due early August and also just purchased our first home, so we have a lot of stuff going on, but ever since we found out I was pregnant the intimacy has almost come to a halt. I’ve tried talking to him many times about it and my feelings and all he says is that he thinks everything is fine and feels closer now than before and that he is still attracted to me and wants me. I feel the complete opposite. People tell me how “great I look” and that I’m all belly and whatnot, but the one person that it would mean the most from barely touches me anymore (even after all the times I’ve talked to him about it). Is it just my hormones being crazy and making me more needy? Or are other women going through the same thing?

Maybe he doesn’t want to do anything physical because he doesn’t want to hurt baby.. I know a lot of guys that do that.. I’m not sure if it’s hormones or not but I know when I was pregnant I felt super needy 😂 Maybe if you instigate some touching he will go with it :) good luck hun!

@snoopaloop011, I have done that and he is receptive, but it feels like he is rushing it and wants it over. Zero intimacy anymore.

I personally am not experiencing this but I have friends who are and things go back to “ normal” after the pregnancy. Some men feel as if they are going to hurt the baby or you and feel uneasy about sex..

@jaimiexo, I hope it goes back to normal. Not feeling wanted by your SO is horrible, especially while pregnant.

I completely agree with @jaimiexo, :) I think it’s a completely normal thing for men to be a little more distant during pregnancy cuz they think the girl is more fragile and same with baby.. maybe try telling him you want some kissing and cuddling but then stop him before you “do the dead” 😂 make him beg for it a little ;)

@snoopaloop011, agreed! my SO was like "are you sure i won't hit his head..?" noooooo honey 😂 we barely had sex between the 4-8 months and my final month I would cut him if he even thought about having sex with me 🤷🏽♀️😂

I understand it’s hard for us with these hormones 😣 but as long as he’s there emotionally I would try to not dwell on the sexual part until after the baby ( easy for me to say, right? ) good news is you’re almost done. ❤️ I’m so opposite right now, I want my husband to leave me alone sexually and then it causes fights because he thinks I don’t want him. I just don’t want to be touched at all and I can’t help it.. then I start getting upset with myself for being the way I am 🤦🏻♀️
