My husband and I have always had a good sex life... it was even good during the first several weeks of pregnancy... So why now, 13 weeks into it, is my skin so sensitive I can bearly stand him to touch it? I get in the mood, but then just the lightest touch strikes a nerve & I can hardly stand it. (and not in a good way) This was not an issue during my first pregnancy, so I'm puzzled. Can anyone suggest anything to help the situation?

I had something like that. During my third pregnancy I couldn't stand my belly touched. I could barely get through sex. For me it lasted the entire pregnancy. But hopefully it will calm down some. If not, try other means to keep him happy and make sure he understands that its the pregnancy wierdness, not you.

Well, there could be a number of things going on here. First of all, pregnant skin is sensitive skin. Your hormones during this pregnancy could be completely different than your levels during your last pregnancy making things like you enjoyed before, not so enjoyable now. It's like food. During your first pregnancy you might have craved hot sauce. This time you might HATE the thought of is and be craving peanutbutter. Who knows??
But I think you also owe it to yourself and you husband to consider that there might be something more going on here. You say you have another child. You're pregnant with this child. And your husband wants sex. Maybe, somewhere deeply seeded in your brain, is a trigger telling you that your body is tired and just not in the mood for sex right now. And the next thing I"m going to say is just me hypothisizing and might be totally unrelated to your actual situation but consider it briefly, if you will. You're busy parenting your child. You are putting your body through the stresses and rigors of pregnancy adn child birth a 2nd time. You are busy working every day to keep your home in order, your family's schedule balanced, meals cooked, errands done, it's the holiday season so you're buying, wrapping, baking, planning, and oh yeah don't forget to schedule pictures and write the christmas cards! Maybe on top of ALL of this, by the end of the day when your husband lovingly touches you to signal his interest in sex, you just feel like you don't have anymore of yourself to give and you're witholding the sex as your boundary mechanism.

Because when you get pregnant you get extremly sensitive. Sometimes it's good during pregnancy for some women. You need to ask your doctor thought. Good luck and congratulations.

Probably just something with your hormones.
Maybe a nice hot bath or massage first to help you relax?

I know it is hard, but really all you can do is not get mad at him for it.
