Iam a soon to be first time father. She already has a son. We are six weeks pregnant. My questions are if this is normal for pregnancy: She does not want to have sex. She is very moody toward myself but seems ok with her family. We were talking about moving in but always seems to have an excuse now. She keeps telling me "we are not pregnant, IAM!". Is this normal behavior or is she pushing me away due to something else.

Everything sounds completely normal. With my first, I wanted sex all the time, but now that I'm pregnant again, I'm not all that interested in sex. Because she's still in the early stages of pregnancy, she may be feeling morning sickness (which can last all day for some) and that may be the reason for her not wanting to be intimate. I'm very moody towards my husband as well. I miss him like crazy when he's at work, but when he's home, I want to be alone until it's time to go to sleep, and then I want him next to me. Just remember that her hormones are all over the place. Give her space when she needs it, but be there for her when she needs it as well. I think expectant dads have just as tough a job as moms sometimes. Don't worry and congratulations and best wishes.

It could be the raging hormones kicking in. It's hard to say if it's just that or something else becuase I don't know much else about your relationship. The things you can expect are raging hormones, especialy after the baby is born. Some women have a tendancy to want to have sex constantly in the first trimester and some don't. Be a good partner and good Dad, rub her feet, make her her favorite meal, help her prepare for the baby. I'm sure her mood will change towards you if you do those things.

Trust me it will get worse before it gets better the best you can do is agree with her and do as she tells you and just be there for her even if she bursts into tears and doesnt know why just cuddle her and tell her you love her overall just be there for her and try not to get too frustrated. Oh and further on the pregnancy she may go through an uber horny phase to make up for the lack of sex now :P

It's normal. It will pass soon. Try not to smother her too much. I'm finding myself being mean to my husband too. He's on the couch as I speak. I'm 9 weeks pregnant with our 5th so he knows what to expect. Have patience and give her space; but be there when she needs you at the same time. That's what we want. We want breathing room but we want attention at the same time. It's a tough job, but I commend you for even attempting to go through with it. A lot of men these days bail on the woman for a while or for good.

pregnant women are really sensitive on their first trimester (1-3 months of pregnancy) and during the last trimester (7-9 months).. iw ould suggest that you always be with your gf and show her that you care and that you want to be involved in everything that has to do with her and your soon to be baby... being a father is such a nice thing. just take good care of you're gf..

maybe you have over done the "we" are pregnant bit!!! pregnancy can be hard for a women hormones are all over the place she probably feels a bit low due to that.
give her space but let her know you love & care very much
as for sex 100% normal try to put yourself in her shoes its not much fun!!!
just be there for her

I can see why she would get irritated by you saying 'we are pregnant'. That's about the most annoying expression in the English language. When I read it at the start of your question, you irritated me, and I don't even know you.
The easy solution would be stop saying it.

I guess nowadays, most couples say "We are pregnant," to share the joy although she is the one literally pregnant. Six weeks is very early for her to have lost interest in sex. It sounds kind of like she wants to move on without you. You should try to find a way to discuss and resolve this problem.
