to not be particularly interested in sex atm

[asteri]

am 15 weeks pregnant and had a very rough time of it (diagnosed with HG) the past few days have not so bad (touch wood things are getting more manageable now I have the right medication) anyhoo, was talking about sex last night with DH and said that I don't feel comfortable having sex right now, the thought just makes me feel a bit odd. He then said "what? so does that mean another 5 and a bit months without sex?" he seemed quite shocked, I explained that may not be the case but at the moment I am just not comfortable with it. AIBU to be a bit upset by his reaction or am I just being a hormonal mare?

YANBU. I completely lost my sex drive mid pregnancy. It also didn't help that a very "helpful" friend kept telling my other half he should be preparing himself for me to drag him upstairs in a hormonal frenzy (I know some pregnant women get like that, but I didn't).

As long as you are making it clear that you still love him, it's not permanent, and it's part of the process of making his baby, then there isn't a lot he can do but accept it. What does he want you to do, lie back and think of England? Most reasonable men wouldn't want to have sex with a woman who didn't want to do it.

To help the situation make sure you keep "close" to him, make sure he knows you value him and have lots of cuddles and together time, to be absolutely sure he doesn't feel pushed away.

Flippen eck, I felt so rough when I was pregnant sex was the lzst thing on my mind. I think you are normal. You'll probably feel more like it in a month or so, if not, don't worry - it's normal!

yanbu, you have hg its not even like normal pregnancy sickness or tiredness, i can imagine it would be the last thing on your mind!!
but tell your dh to calm down, your only 15 weeks now theres nothing to say u wont change the way u feel later on, and he will have to put up with it for now. i suppose his reaction is probably normal though, it might not have crossed his mind that you will feel like that so came as a shock, he might get used to it a bit more and calm down about it esp if you reassure him its not actually permanant for life or anything

YANBU. I didn't feel comfy having sex when pg, and not for several months afterwards. In fact, it's still an effort for me now - my libido went south with everything else.

YANB at all U. Buy him some pornos and a large box of tissues.
