Anyone else partner gone off sex?

Question

So I’m 31 weeks and since being pregnant my OH has really gone off doing the deed. We used to be very active in that department and I would say since 5 months it’s really taken a nose dive.... he says its because he’s worried he will hurt the baby and even after explaining time after time he can’t hurt the baby it’s not improving. It’s really getting me down, as if I don’t feel low enough already! Anyone else have this issue??

Answer

Girl my husband gave up on sex the moment he saw a bump. That was maybe 5 months. I got him to budge a few times by waking him up like 3am on the weekend IN THE DARK lol. 
It really is a protective instinct on their part. It’s not personal. They’re aware that there’s a baby there & because they have no clue how any of it works on the inside, they’d rather not be part of a something going wrong. 
I learned not to take it personal, we just found other ways of intimacy that didn’t require sex. We unplug phones & tv on Wednesday’s. We either take walks or chat or play a game together, depends on the mood. I’ve found that to be a helpful way to still be intimately connected to him.
Can’t say I don’t miss sex. But there’s really no convincing them once they’ve made their minds up.

I thought it was just me 😭 i hit 20 weeks monday and it was the first time in over a week. I AM NOT USED TO LESS THAN 2X A WEEK SO I WAS LIKE UM...hello?!? He just said the other day he just isnt horny..welp thanks I am lol i would talk to him about it or write a letter. I dont think they realise it bothers us but its just nice to feel loved especially when u feel like a cow. Sex lifr defenitly declines once pregnant

Ive got it the other way 🙄🤣
He’s more into it, and initiating. I’m not.
Used to be the other way around 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Went from 5-8 times a week to once every 2 weeks. It's been like this for a couple months and its sooo frustrating. He says he can feel the baby through my vaginal wall (he can, I've felt too) and is afraid to hurt her. I'm getting used to it and just take care of it myself. I cried in the middle of the night once when he told me no and said "I feel like I have to beg you and you always make it seem like a chore. I'm still me even though I'm pregnant." It had me SHOOK.

Answer

My husband is withholding sex from me. Im currently 36 weeks pregnant but i cant even remember the last time we had sex. His excuse is that he thinks its weird and that he may hurt the baby although i tried explaining to him that its ok 🤷‍♀️
