Just wondering if anyone else is in the same position, Iām 19 weeks since finding out Iām pregnant me and my partner havenāt had sexual intercourse and he doesnāt want to until the baby is born. Heās worried it will hurt the baby which is sweet but I just miss that closeness. We do cuddles kiss etc xx

Hi, Iām 22 weeks at the moment and we havenāt had much sex at all, mostly because I just donāt feel like it! I donāt think itās uncommon for couples to have less sex during pregnancy, thereās so many changes happening. Have you explained to him that it wonāt hurt the baby at all and itās perfectly safe? If heās still worried you could maybe ask the midwife to explain that itās safe so he has that reassurance? If heās still reluctant to actually have inter course im sure you can find a compromise to get that closeness still it is very sweet that heās worried about hurting the baby though bless him x
Hey, yeah I explained it all but he still wonāt do it š tbh Iām not really in the mood (not feeling sexy etc) but I just feel like not having sex is now affecting our physical connection and then I start overthinking what if heās getting it from somewhere else!! x
hey. My husbandās been a bit weird about this too. Weirdly he was less nervous really early on but has been more awkward since approx 16 weeks and I think weāve had sex once since then (and weāre now 37 weeks) we have tried another couple of times at my insistence š but we get started and then I get a bit tired/turned off. Im not sure if this is normalā¦but I just wanted to let you know that youāre not alone.
Hey, it must just be their fatherly instincts kicking in š¤š Iām sure thatās normal I know lots of women during pregnancy donāt want to have sex and I donāt really either but I donāt want to lose that physical connection x
