HG ruining sex life

[shas19]

Im around 7 weeks and feel awful. Constantly nauseous and fatigue from hell. Im at home with the kids all day so dont really get a break so to say. Dp every night for the past week has been asking for sex but i just can't bring myself to do it. Even the thought of sex atm is making me feel horrible. Im in bed crying right now as im just so drained and feel awful having to keep turning him down atm. Usually we have sex between 2-3 times a week, last time being sunday so not long ago. Aibu to think he he should just wait until i feel ok? I hate feeling like this:(

Wonder if you should let your midwife / Dr know that you are feeling far more sick than you were with your other two pregnancies. In the old days it was often used as a sign of a twin pregnancy. They may arrange an early scan for you . The news of this possibility might just calm him down .

Of course he should wait! I can’t imagine getting aroused and orgasming while having sex with someone who is unwell, feels sick and is frequently in tears. That’s grim.

Is this your first child together? He sounds a bloody moron to be honest. Remember during pregnancy and after pregnancy, women are most at risk from domestic violence.

Was he like this during your previous pregnancies?

My DH just looked after me when I needed it when I was pregnant.

No pressure for sex, cooked the meals, went to the chemist for me, indulged my cravings etc.

This was the same for my friends too. What you describe is not normal. What’s he like normally as a partner when he doesn’t get what he wants?

I had HG, one very near miss (jumped off DH and ran to loo) stopped sex life very quickly. He didn't say a word.

Its definitely not twins as I've already had an early scan. As for the domestic abuse comments thats a big reach. Hes fine in general i think hes just used to us having an active sex life im never actually unwell, especially for sex. As i said previous pregnancies i wasnt like this so i cant compare tbh. He doesnt have a massive strop when i say no, i just hate having to say i feel unwell etc when he knows this. Hes currently gone to the shops for strawberry pencils and cooked dinner and bathed kids
