Sex?

I’m almost 31 weeks. Feel huge. Don’t feel sexy. Don’t feel desirable. Sex life has sort of tanked as a result, of late. I know my husband understands, but I hate this lack of sexual connection. Makes me feel insecure and less connected to each other. Anyone else struggling with this?

I haven't been sexually intimate with my husband since the first trimester

We haven’t had a lot of sex since I started showing. Maybe once every 2-2 1/2 weeks. I want it but my partner can’t really get past the look of the bump/ my changing body. I don’t feel sexy. Or look it 😂 I’m quite huge as I’ve put on 40 lbs and we’re both a little turned off by the basketball in my tum. If we do have sex he can’t finish so it ends up with me just giving oral and feeling a lil down. I do use my vibrator in solitude once a week ish when he’s at the gym

I don’t be feeling like it but I let him do it from the side every other day he has needs too 🤷🏾‍♀️ only position that isn’t uncomfortable

Omg I feel this sooooo much!!!!

My husband and I have had to be carful when it comes to sex, he almost put me into labor the last time we did it (almost 2 weeks ago) I’m in a high risk pregnancy and this is my 5th pregnancy but 2nd full term pregnancy. Baby is super low and we are both worried about her coming too early, we have stopped having sex almost all together and yes it has affected both of us but in the end we both know it’s for the safety of our unborn daughter. My OB will deliver my baby at 35 weeks (2weeks away!!) but there are still risks to delivering early.

I guess I’m opposite we have sex at least once a week. If I’m not in the mood for myself because of pain or what not we just do other fun stuff where I’m not straining myself but making him happy and that makes me feel like I’m taking care of his needs. Sex actually has helped me with a lot of pain control while pregnant which is nice. The farther I get the more gentle he is if we do it all the way cause I am high risk but the OB says it’s ok as long as I don’t feel pain. Try other things like cuddling and stuff too if the act of sec is too much. We also just text each other sometimes if needed.
