Husband Losing Interest

mpwifey - March 12

ok I'm in my 5th month of pregnancy and my tummy is getting bigger. but so far I've been keeping myself healthy. He's just not wanting to have s_x with me anymore. I don't know if he's with another woman. I'm trying not to get suspicious and paranoid. But this is frustrating. I just feel like he's not trying. Am I the only one who's husband doesn't like her new pregnant body?

It's a common reaction for husbands to stop showing an interest in s_x during pregnancy. He may be worried that he'll squish or harm the baby, or he might be adjusting to seeing you as a mom and not as a just a wife, or he might just get weirded out if he can feel the baby move while you're having s_x (I guess 5 months might be a bit early for that one though). Have you tried talking to him about it?

I have and the only reaction I get is the "I don't know whats wrong" one. And he never seems to know, ever. >.<

Hey mpwifey - I am no expert but I do think this happens for some men like Malica said - he may just be a bit scared of hurting the bub or just not sure how he should feel if that makes sense? And he might just say he doesnt know what is wrong because he is embarrased about being scared of hurting the baby because he also probably knows he wont hurt the baby but its just something that has stuck in his mind - I dont know if that makes sense? :)

MPWIFEY-I totally understand you. I felt the same way. My husband separated from me last Dec 2007 while I was 7 months preggo. He had started staying out late and sometimes overnight before separation... I found out a day after delivering my twins on Feb 1st 2008 that he cheated with a woman in Dec 2007. He confessed. I wished he didnt share it on my first day home... He has not returned home and feels that he may want the single life rather then being married. This hurts and I dont know what happened... He was the perfect husband up until that point... Then he made comments like... Put clothes on... No one wants to see you like that... It hurt. Not saying that this is your situation but I am just sharing mine. I am still hurt and still in shock. I criedalot my last few months. If you feel uncomfortable ask questions.

Well I don't know your relationship with you husband but if he hasn't cheated on you before he probably isn't now. IIf this is your first child chances are he is thinking about a lot of stuff involving the baby. My husband was the same way with our first child. He stopped being interested in s_x because he was thinking about supporting the baby and how our life was getting ready to change. Once I had our daughter he was back to normal. Within in a month we were having s_x and enjoying our beautiful new addition. Don't worry about it. Just keep talking to him about telling him how you feel. Also try to look s_xy every now and then.

we are still ttc but my husband has already told me point blank that once i get pregnant s_x ends lol hes afraid in the beginning to cause a miscarriage and hes afraid in the middle and the end that the baby is too big & it creeps him out...good thing i have a pocket rocket huh?

he probably doesnt want to hurt the baby or you, i remember my boyfriend was the same way i just talk to him and said if it hurts the position we do it i will let you know and everything was fine after that good luck hope this helps
