I’m so glad that you asked, because many women are too embarrassed to talk about this very common reaction. Many women feel very sexy and delicious during their pregnancy and are hot for their honeys all the time from the hormone bath they’re taking every day. These hormones cause the breasts to enlarge, become more sensitive, and can make orgasms even more powerful. And instead of their partners being very happy and eager to have sex, many seem to run the other way. It’s difficult not to feel rejected when this happens and to wonder if there’s more to it than their husbands are sharing.
There is nothing wrong with either of you. You are both entitled to your desires and your feelings - yet for many men, explanations and reassurances don’t change their minds and they’re still hesitant for a variety of reasons. Do any of these sound familiar...?
- I’ll hurt the baby...
- Sex will start labor...
- You’re a mother now, and it’s too weird to view you as sexy...
- Your body changes are bothering me and I don’t find them appealing...
- We have to change from our typical positions...
The good news is that your sex life is not over! Your most important and sensitive sexual organ is... drum roll please... your brain and your ability to communicate! So talking to your partner, listening to his concerns, sharing your own, and making a commitment to be loving towards each other in other ways will increase your intimacy and your trust in each other. It’s very important to find a way to talk about the ways in which your husband can show his love for you even when he’s saying no to sex.
You’ll probably have to adapt a little and be comfortable giving him the understanding that he needs. Things will change again when you have your baby, he may be hot for you and you may not be in the mood. Good communication now will lay the groundwork for more intimacy in the future. Good luck!
My husband won't have sex with me! He says he feels like the baby is watching. I know it sounds silly, but is there something wrong with him or us? I'm afraid that after the baby comes, our sex life will be over.
