Intercourse During pregnancy.

Hello, so my husband basically said that he doesn’t really feel like having intercourse during pregnancy. I guess it’s the whole having to be careful with my stomach. So basically it ends up being plain oh sex. I kinda understand since I as well don’t feel as sexy as I used to with my belly. which, I think is normal. Im not against having sex though. And If I ask for sex I feel like he’ll have petty sex with me which I’m not interested in. So bottom line is I’m a little concerned that we are not being intimate. I’m concerned this might bring us apart. How’s everyone’s sex life during pregnancy?

My husband still wants to have sex and while my belly is mainly bloating I still do take it slower bc I want to avoid bleeding as much as possible. I have noticed we do it a lot less and he did say once that since I only want missionary that it’s not as exciting as it once was. I understand it but I try not to loose the intimacy between us so I try to do more things he likes. The only tough part is when I’m sucking his dick I get nauseous fast and I’ve been throwing up a lot so I don’t enjoy it like I used to but I still try my hardest to do other things he like because ik it’s not as exciting which I agree with. We do like it rough which is not gonna happen for the next few months but I do what I can to make me feel comfortable and him enjoy it as much as possible

I'm due in 3 days now and had just had sex like an hour ago (it's midnight here) and now we're getting ready for bed. It definitely has its downfalls when pregnant but my partner still lets me get on top and have a say in what we do.. It took communication though because for a phase of the pregnancy he was terrified of hurting the baby and turned off by the fact I have a growing baby in me. 😂 I would say communicate and make sure you initiate as well. That's what helped us and I'm hoping it works out well for y'all 🫶

@Angelina same. And well I’m 31 weeks pregnant now so I’m definitely on the bigger side now. I think it’s mainly that for both of us. Hopefully it does get better for us.

Mine did the same I started to think he was cheating … idk if men r just not attracted to ur pregnant or they r being careful idk… but that deff affected me having sex with him.. we r better now but it caused issues for me

@Briella I want to initiate but I think I’m having a hard time with him saying he’s not into it in the past. It might have made me distance myself a bit. He hasn’t initiated recently either so I take it as he doesn’t want to.🤔(like I don’t want to make him either lol). before he would definitely initiate all the time and well it was very natural for both of us. The whole situation is a little awkward I guess.

@Luz I’m actually glad I’m not the only one! And In my head I do wonder if he really is just going without ejaculation?!? 🤔🤷‍♀️Is he cheating, taking care of it himself? Before we were having sex about 3 times per week so I really wonder now. I guess it’s now going to be a deeper conversation we have to have. We’ve talked about it very vaguely.

Me and my fiance still have the same sex we did before hand but his 1 problem is the bump gets in the way if his on top since I'm 38 + 3 weeks and there not much I can do since he did have a part of making this child so it's his problem not really mine since I don't have any complaints inless he puts to much weight on my stomach cuase it uncomfortable with a small amout of pain when he does but other then being more careful

3rd pregnancy here but all my pregnancies hubby still wanted it all the time and wasn’t put off by baby or bump. We just worked around it and explored other positions - I took him to most of my ob appointments first time around so he could ask any questions about anything. He did ask if he would harm the baby and the dr reassured him that he wouldn’t. We still have as much sex as before (well as much as 2 toddlers will allow 😂)

My husband didn’t care about my belly… he saw it as beautiful because I was carrying his child. I of course didn’t feel sexy but my sex drive was high! We just found safe and comfortable positions. Maybe say to him that once baby is here he will hardly get it 🤣

We had sex about once every week til about week 37 (always missionary, put pillows under my butt to prop me up but by week 37 I couldn't breath l. My husband knows I'm uncomfortable with porn and he agrees (although I have to remind him how unrealistic it is to keep our son's away from it once their teenagers and not to teach them it's sinful) but I digress. I appreciated his efforts in just making me feel wanted when Im the size of a circus tent lol but I've dated men in the past that were more scrutinizing about physical appearance, addicted to or used porn as a Crux. But then I had a great body before this last pregnancy, now I feel like soggy cardboard being held together by chewed up bubble gum lol
