Hi all,
Before I got pregnant DH and I had a decent sex life, we've been together 4 years, married 2 and would have sex once or twice a week, more if on holiday etc nothing exciting as DH is quite vanilla but that's okay with me (I don't mean this in a bad way).
When I got pregnant we had sex once and then Hyperemesis hit and I just couldn't, I was so tired and sick and DH understood, he never pressured me or even mentioned it but after 8 weeks I pressured myself and when I felt a bit better I rushed to have sex. It wasn't great and now I feel awful for him, I wasn't really interested in it (not because of hubby, I love him and I'm still very attracted to him) but I feel like a whale, my boobs hurt, my belly hurts and I just feel gross and due to not having sex for like 8 weeks and not being that interested - it really hurt. I just have a low sex drive at the moment, I haven't even indulged in self sex as I'm really just not interested.
My husband seems to understand and he's a very good husband and man but I can't help but feel guilty - I'm currently 18 weeks nearly 19 weeks pregnant - will things start to improve for me sexually or is it a case of just getting on with it for DHs sake until the baby is born before I can enjoy it again?
