Lack of intimacy

Hey. I’m 32 weeks and I am struggling with the lack of intimacy from my partner. I never thought I’d be the one pretty much getting turned down and it’s making me feel really paranoid. Bump is pretty big now so I understand it’s not the easiest but that doesn’t make me feel any better! Has anyone else had this? I feel like a crazy hormonal woman that assumes the worst!

Have you talked about it with him? At some point my husband mentioned he doesn't think the idea of a baby being physically in the way is arousing lol

@Dominique my partner said the exact same thing to me 🤣 and I do understand that

@Katie 😂 yeah, I mean, I think I'd feel similar

But to OP's point, it's not nice to feel rejected when you're already at your most vulnerable

I have felt like this throughout my whole pregnancy, you’re definitely not alone! My partner and I never struggled with intimacy before but since becoming pregnant it’s a pretty rare occasion now. I’ve spoken to him about it as I was overthinking and worrying he didn’t find me attractive anymore, he said that he hasn’t lost any attraction at all and feels more in love with me than ever before, he just has a whole new feeling towards me, more of a caring/protective/nurturing side so his libido is lower than usual.. like others have said above, I suppose the thought of the baby being right there isn’t particularly arousing🤣 your feelings are totally valid though, I definitely feel the same despite reassurance from my partner and I’m sure a lot of the women on here feel the same❤️

Ah I know this feeling my partner we spoke about it and he told me that’s not the case he’s still attracted to me but it’s just don’t want to hurt our baby. 😔but I understand.
