Sex in pregnancy

Since I’ve been pregnant I’ve had no sex drive, I thought after the first trimester I might want to but now I’m nearly in my third I feel bad on my partner 😩 we have had sex a few times but now it just feels uncomfortable. He’s said that he feels abit weird about it now as i have a visible bump, but he’s also made a few jokey comments about wanting to. He’s really supportive of me, but I just don’t want him feeling like I don’t love him or I’m not attracted to him 🥲 Has anyone got any advice or feel the same! Thank you x

I am in the same boat as you. I find the sex enjoyable when it happens but I am not interested in the slightest. My husband used to make sly comments and I had to tell him to stop cos it makes me feel bad for no reason. Since then he’s given me the space. Unfortunately one of my symptoms of pregnancy is lack of affection so even kissing him sometimes is too much. It’s been tricky. As much as I am enjoying pregnancy, I need my emotions back cos this is not like me whatsoever

Girl it’s okay, my partner wants it at least few times a week, he always supports me and helps me in position nothing but doggy really works but it does work, he makes sure I’m comfortable, maybe try doggy with lots of pillows underneath? I have my pregnancy pillow underneath and always one hand on the belly to protect it

I’m in the same situation, it’s odd because I have been extra affectionate and a bit needy but when it comes to sex drive there is nothing. He always has to initiate and I would for his sake but I’m honestly so uninterested that it doesn’t even cross my mind. He’s given me all the space I need and hasn’t made a single comment on it but it’s so hard not to feel crap about it. I’ve been making a conscious effort to do other nice things for him and when the mood does happen to strike, absolutely jump on it 😂 Hoping that drive comes back once this baby is out of me and things have settled down!

Had this with my first and now again this time but it came back after a few months post partum. I think it’s really common, don’t do anything you’re not comfortable with, you’re growing another human and hopefully he appreciates that x

I’m in the same boat, I have no sex drive at all. The thought of it puts me right off.

I really want to have sex, I just have zero drive to do it. My bump is huge and although my partner doesn’t care, it really gets in the way and it all feels very clunky and awkward. I think it’s all very normal, but it doesn’t make it any easier! I know post partum sex comes with its own challenges, but I cannot wait to get my drive back and be able to move!
