Go Ahead from Doc but...

Tara • Wifey💍, Working Mom, mommy to Lilian, born 2-25-18, Reagan, born 8-28-20, and our third baby due 4-12-25💕👶🏻

So at my 39 week appointment today, due the 25th of Feb., with my husband, I was 4cm dilated and favorable for labor and my doctor also did a membrane sweep. She then said that we should go home and do our ‘homework’, aka have sex... Which made me really happy because my husband hasn’t put his penis near my vagina in about 5 months. (Not that we haven’t been intimate in other ways.) But he still won’t touch me... I just cried and cried and tried to talk to him about it and how it makes me feel, and he just rolled over and put his back to me and said he ‘doesn’t want to fight’. We never really fight ever, but this is how he deals with topics he doesn’t want to talk about... it breaks my heart. All I want to do is at least talk about it, but he shuts me out completely... 💔 He has been a wonderful and supportive partner through this entire pregnancy, except for the sex thing. He knows how much I have wanted to this whole time, and I really thought that my doctor telling him to have sex with me and that he won’t hurt anything would convince him it’s ok. I’m so hurt, it’s hard to put into words... he doesn’t even care... I feel like he’s totally unattracted to me and that I’m hideous in his eyes or something... I only gained about 30 pounds and it’s all baby... only a couple of stretch marks on my Butt and boobs, none on my belly... he still won’t touch me. Its making me regret getting pregnant... what if things never go back to how they were before... what if his repulsion toward me doesn’t go away after I have our baby... our marriage was perfect before, and now I’m scared that it’s all ruined because I wanted us to have a baby... 💔
