Did your husband loose intrest in sex while you were pregnant?

Question

I am 29 wks and our sex life did a complete 360? Just wondering if anyone else was going through the same thing.

Answer 1

My fiance didn't lose interest. He wanted it more. Some men are turned on by pregnant woman, others aren't. You might want to try to talk to him about it. More than likely, he is scared of hurting the baby. You can find plenty of information to show him that it's nearly impossible to hurt the baby in any way. Either way, Good Luck!

Answer 2

My husband could hardly keep his hands off me while I was pregnant, and lucky for me, I felt the same way. As individuals, we all experience different emotions and changes when we go thru something major like a pregnancy. Some men are turned off or worried by the fact that there is a baby in there and such, other men find pregnancy to be ultra sexy and feminine. I have also talked to a lot of women who's husbands lost interest in them AFTER the baby was born, for varoius reasons which is really sad. Keep the lines of communication wide open. Try talking to him about why his feelings have changed, and try to reassure him that sex is perfectly safe your entire pregnancy unless your doctor says otherwise. Good luck!

Answer 3

My boyfriend definitely wishes we had more sex right now. Unfortunately, I am one of the women who lose interest in sex during pregnancy. We have sex 1-2 times a week. My friends husband lost interest in sex and I have read that it is completely normal. It is not that he is turned off by you, it is probably that he is more worried about the baby. It is an emotional time for both of you so changes are normal.

Answer 4

My fiancee seems to find me more attractive than ever now. I'm only 24 weeks and have gained 11 lbs, so my body hasn't changed that much. He does get concerned about hurting the baby or me being uncomfortable (which seems to happen often) but he's now showing me little gestures more often --such as holding my hand, placing his hand on the small of my back to guide me through crowded places, and sitting closer to me while we're out. I think we're more in love than ever and we've been together 7 years.

Answer 5

My husband and I went completely in the opposite direction too! He was scared that he was going to hurt the baby, but he really can't. Talk to him about your concerns and if you're really interested in sex still, make him change!! Or take him to an appt so he can hear from the dr. that sex with you is okay.

Answer 6

Oh Gosh..
My husband didn't touch me for most of my pregnancies.. either one.

The thought of having sex when there was 'a baby in there' grossed him out completely.. and he was always fretting about how he was going to hurt the kid..

I think some guys have hang-ups about it. They don't understand the whole process and they're just freaked out by it.


I wouldn't worry too much.

Answer 7

Nope! He would have sex 3 times a day every day if I would let him! I'm the one that completely lost interest...I'm uncomfortable, my back hurts, my belly gets in the way....he doesn't care about all that....he still wants it all the time. I definately DO NOT! :)

Answer 8

No i am the one who lost interest well it wasn't comfortable for me any longer. Maybe he is afraid of having sex because of he thinks he might hurt you or the fetus. There are alot of men that do think that. Talk with him. Good luck and Congrats!

Answer 9

Take him along to your next OB appt and let him ask the dr. There are probably other things he'd like to know and this would be a good time to involve him in the whole process.

Answer 10

At first, no. And it wasn't until I was about 7 months when HE started getting really scared about hurting the baby! We talked to the doctor about it, but he was just too nervous, and he also thought it was gross to have his "man parts" so close to the baby's head!! Lol! So we just waited until she came into the world!
