I'm six months pregnant and my husband is now disinterested in sex. I've only gained 13 lbs. could he view me as unattractive now? Have any of you ladies experienced this, i'm feeling kind of low now.

i highly doubt it's the weight.
Alot of men worry about hurting you, or the baby when you start getting further along. Don't feel low, he loves you, he just probably has alot going through his head when he thinks about doing it.

You should talk to your husband and express your concerns. Some men become disinterested in sex with their pregnant wives because they think they will hurt the baby, or they think differently towards you because you are the mother of their child. Some men do find a pregnant woman unattractive...some men quite the opposite. But the only way to really know is if you talk to him. Make sure you make yourself feel prettty, eat healthy and stay as fit as you can. Do that for you and your baby.

Like everyone else has already said, it might be he is afraid to hurt the baby. Your hormones are all over the place right now, so you are going to feel unattractive. Trust me, you are not.......look in the mirror.......see yourself glowing? You can't be any more beautiful than you are with that tiny life inside of you. So don't stress about it, try getting through your pregnancy and things will eventually get back to normal. Maybe not right away because the new little one will be pre-occupying you for a while. Congrats on your pregnancy and you know where to find me (one of your contacts) if you need someone to talk to.

Something is not right here. Most husbands find their wives incredibly attractive when they're pregnant. 13 pounds is NOT a lot of weight for you to be 6 months pregnant, that's all baby and water--not fat. You guys definately need to have a heart to heart. I don't think hurting the baby is an issue. I think there is another issue at hand.Good luck.

There is a reason for everyting, but before YOU decide on your own what it is, you should sit down with him and ask him....
My husband wants me every single day (im pregnant now), but with my first child he felt VERY wierd, my sisters husband did the same thing....Some men feel wierd when there spouse is prgnent for the first time..
i have heard them say they dont want to hurt me, or the baby, or things like that..
But talk to him, it is the only way to figure it out,, tell him how you feel, tell him the complete truth. and see what he says. . Dont argue just talk. There should be no reason for him to get upset bout anything unless he is hiding something, but everything will work out for the best... Good luck

I have not been pregnant before; however, I have heard of men feeling strange being inside you once they can feel the baby... and most men are stoic and might not tell you something like that being afraid you wouldn't understand.
Also, how have you been acting? Are you still being loving and attentive? Are you pouting a lot and/or nagging or resenting? That might cause him not to want to be close to you also.
But I do wish you all the best.

Have you talked to him about it? Maybe he is afraid he will hurt you or the baby. If the doctor said it is ok to continue having sex, tell your husband that it is ok. Communication is really important! Just ask him about it and let him know you understand any concerns he has but that it really is ok. I didn't experience that from my husband when I was pregnant with our two children but men are not all alike contrary to what everyone believes.

Frankly speaking, usualy wont get turn on when wife's pregnant.
Secondly is that what we are afraid of most is the baby that's 6mths old.
Im sure he will be turned on again with you after you've given him a cute baby because by then he will understand the toughness of you as his beloved wife carring a baby for him so long while he's wrong to have felt turn off during that period of time.
Good luck.

Some men get sexually desinterested when their wives are pregnant. Maybe they think that having sex with a heavily pregnant wife is a no-no, that she could be harmed, etc etc. Ask him what's going on, maybe he has not a lot of education about sex and pregnancy, faulty ideas about it, this could be his case.Some men have amazing sex with their pregnant wives. Anyway, this lack of interest is temporary, don't worry about it. Try to seduce him, wear sexy lingerie, keep yourself well groomed, you know the drill.
Good luck!

It is something wierd they experience, unless they are one of those freaks who are turned on by preg wmn. My husband's excuse was he did not want to hurt the baby. They are not comfortable w/ your body changing, don't worry everything will get back to normal after the baby comes and you quit bleeding. Do NOT LET IT BOTHER YOU, enjoy the miracle girl, you are bringing another soul into this world!!!!
