Every since I have been pregnant I can't enjoy sex with my hubby even though I want to. I know it won't hurt the baby and I know the baby doesn't know what's going on but it's almost like my body has went from sexy to mommy equipment. My hubby is okay with having sex and it doesn't bother him but because of my frame of mind I can't just let go and enjoy it. I find myself sexually frustrated and upset because I want to make love to my hubby but in my oppinion it's no fun unless both parties are enjoying it. If you don't have advice then just let me know someone is out there like me. I am 18 weeks by the way.
Update: I have tried putting on make-up and stuff but I still feel like a "mommy" and I would like to get my nails done or be pampered liek that but I don't have the money. My hubby gives me back rubs but it just makes me sleepy. Nipple stimulation just makes these "mommy" feelings more clear because I leak.

Try some good old-fashioned romance. Like a nice long talk about your first date, first kiss, meeting the in-laws - But NOTHING about the baby. You are his woman right now, not a mommy.
That's what it took for me. I lost the desire for about 6 months. And we just had to pretend to be dating again, you know, revive the spark.

I was in a similar position when I was pregnant. My labido went down the drain and I really didn't get it back until after I had the baby. It takes a little old fashioned romance. Try going out for dinner someplace kind of nice (Doesn't have to be fancy) or someplace that has significance (like the place where you had your first date or something). Right now it takes hitting your emotions more than your carnal instincts. You're totally normal. It'll be alright. I promise.

That is just one very breif stage of pregnancy, It will pass, and your husband will probally think your crazy because if your anything like me, you will go from not wanting any to being horny as hell like, almost overnight, it's all part of pregnancy.

Your boobs leak at 18 weeks? That's amazing.
I'm 9 months and mine aren't leaking yet.. unless I squeeze them.
