Strangely, I can't seem to find any posts on this though I'm sure there must be some...
I'm 8 months pregnant and DH has gone right off sex while I've been pregnant. He says it seems weird and wrong and jokes he just doesn't fancy me from the neck down. Not great for my self-confidence but I haven't found it too much of a problem. Speaking with friends i think this is more common than i orginally thought.
Our sex life has always been good previously, although admittedly he has a lower sex drive than me and I usually instigate it. This morning while watching him get dressed i made some dirty comment and he was a bit horrified! he said he can't look at me that way now. I said I just hope we get it back after the baby comes but now I'm worried he's gone off me.
I want to hear from any women who've had the same. How do you rekindle a non existent sex life as new parents? surely with a new baby around it will be ten times more difficult? will I ever be able to seduce him again?
I should note that I genuinely don't think he's having an affair or getting it elsewhere. We're very effectionate towards each other and have a great relationship - i just think he's stopped viewing me as a woman with needs!!
