2nd Trimester
DH afraid to have sex
I am 24 weeks and my DH won't have sex! He says he's afraid of hurting the baby. Which in my eyes is an excuse because he knows he can't hurt the baby. I think he is just not attracted to me right now because of my growing belly which is really making me feel low. He promises me he loves me just the way I am. Have any of you ladies expierenced this with your DH?

Re: DH afraid to have sex
Yes, yes and yes.
My DH stopped having sex with me (first time around) at about 28 weeks. His excuse was that he decided it was too uncomfortable for me. Um, hello? I think I can be the judge of that, TYVM!
This time around, I don't remember the last time we had sex. I'm too exhausted by the time we crawl into bed and DS is up at the butt-crack of dawn. On a positive note, he isn't complaining either.

It's possible that he may not be attracted to you but that seems unlikely. Guys usually aren't as put off by the body changes as we are.
We've stopped having sex for a variety of reasons. The main one being that H finds it hard to be intimate so close to his daughter. If he feels her move it's over, if I have a contraction it's over, if he thinks about her while we're trying it's over. He just can't get aroused when he knows she's involved. It has nothing to do with me or being sexually attracted to me as we can do other things but sex is too intrusive to her space right now for him.
I know it's hard, and even though I know H is still attracted to me I've had a few crying melt downs over the decrease in intimacy but I don't want to force him into something that makes him uncomfortable.
Hello Ladies,,
So, that's what it takes for me to feel LO move, SEX!!! Okay,, Dh hasn't said that he doesn't want to have it,, so when he comes home this weekend, hope he won't be so tired that we can have sex and hope the baby does move so I can feel it!! Thanks!!
