I am 6 months pregnant and me and my partner's sex life has slowly deminshed over the past 2 months from 2 to 3 times a week to like once a week if that. It's really frustrating because I already feel less attractive because of my growing body and sometimes I feel like maybe he just isn't attracted to me as much because of my growing body. I have even had the thought like what if he is cheating on me? He has assured me though that he isn't cheating on me and says that he has just had a lot on his mind. I know it's probably because i'm getting bigger and maybe his is afraid, but I still don't quite understand. Can anybody help me understand?

Hi

When i was pregnant with my little girl me and my fiance must have only had sex about or 5 times throught the WHOLE of my pregnancy. Sometimes i was just so tired or ill or whatever but it turned out that he was so scared of hurting myself or the baby (to which i assured him that he or ANY man is no way big enough to worry about that!!) but he also said that he still thought that I was attractive to him but he also felt a bit perverse as he couldnt help but think that a babys head is literally just above where he wanted to go!!! He explained it to me like having sex with your mum and dad watching!! I completely understood and we both then decided to leave our sex lives alone for a bit and spend more time cuddling, kissing etc. At the end of the day we are spending the rest of our lives together so for me and him sacrificing this for a few months didnt pose much of a problem, so long as the feelings mutual i suppose.

Try and talk to him you may be suprised as i was.

Hope all goes well and congratulations on your pregnancy.

hi im 6months this week and my partner is the same. yet i think it may be both of us. we havent had sex for 3wks now, this is my 2nd baby and this happend before so im not so worried, look dont worry to much and dont keep thinkin he has someone else, your body is changin alot and its hard for you and him. why dont you try spicin things up a bit, candles and all that he is probably feelin exactly the same as you! if anythin he is attracted to you more not less your carryin his child which means alot, but some men think there goin to harm the baby during sex thats why sex lifes go down hill, it will all be back to normal before you no it. i hope you feel betta. let me no how things are, take care xxx
