Yummy mummys or is it a myth?!

Guys please help am now 8 months "gone" and husband hasnt been near me since June!!!
I'm very upset about this and feel about as sexy as a lump of cheddar.
He normally cant keep his hands off me in fact Im ashamed to say I have even been known to complain in the past that his demands were too much, yes yes I know serves me right etc etc!!
He says that hes afraid of hurting the baby and that it doesnt "feel right" and I wanted to know if men REALLY do find pregnant women attractive or if now Im a mother he'll have to start looking at thaibridesforyou.com?!

Hmm, some men find them really sexy and some men don't!! It's the way of things.
I'm sure once the baby's come he'll return to his amorous ways and you'll be telling him where to get off
My dp finds preg women unattractive, which is a shame. It does make you feel somewhat "ugly and fat" but you're not, you're blooming!!

Unfortunately it seems to be a common thing. Mine didn't touch me once the bump was obvious, despite me loving my new figure and lovely round tummy. I think it's the roles of wife change and you become A Mother and therefore untouchable. I've HEAR of men finding preggers women attractive, indeed heard of specific porn sites to accomodate such views, but so far I havent dared to check them out... You'll just have to wait another month or so till you deflate back to 'normal'. Get some rest while you can maybe?!?!

I loved my DW's bump. She felt a bit weird about that side of things so things were a bit, um, quiet though.

I also found other pregnant women really caught my eye around that time too , whereas I hadn't really noticed them before. I still think pregnant women are really sexy, but I definitely don't fall into the 'special interest' category!

I've never really got why pregnant women feel fat, when a bump is so usually so tight past the first 20 weeks or so, and the body shape is so different to being overweight.

Agree with Da. A bump is lovely in its own way - not really "sexy" but then it's not supposed to be! It's totally different from having wobbling lumps of lard. It looks very beautiful.

I find the whole thing a complete turn on to be honest. When my missus got past the first trimester we were at it like rabbits.

I would get home and she would be on the bed on all fours shouting "COME ON BIG BOY!" (or something along those lines).

Twas great.

Same second time round too. Once it gets to the uncomfortably big stage it waned a bit on her part a little - but i could understand that and didn't put so much pressure on her cos i knew she felt knackered.

We still went for it though - just not as much.

Everyone is different though. I guess because of my experiences i now find pregnant women EVEN MORE of a turn on cos i secretly think they are gagging for it - although for most of them this might be the last thing they want. Women are different in this apsect too. I am sorry to hear that things have changed for you and i hope they get back to normal soon.

EricL are you a real person? hmm]

Just logged on to check messages and ericL your message made me snort tea out of my nose(not adding to my attractiveness now I understand!!)
Tried to talk to him last night and he said that it was like someone watching, having the baby in there...maybe he can imagine the baby holding up score cards etc!
Dont understand myself but I cant do it with the dog in the room which I guess is similar(allthough the dog did try to join in which can be offputting!)

lol foosfan my dp wouldn't come near me for first 3 months although i did find he smelt disgusting and wanted to vomit lol hormones he was in fact clean but i still felt sick when he caame near me

once my sences returned to normal he found me attractive and our sex life didn't suffer it suffers more now than it did then but i actually felt really sexy with my bump not liking tummy now so suffers because of that

alot of men worry they'll hurt the baby they find it weird something being in there maybe pleasure each other in other ways we did this when i was to uncomfortable so we still had intamacy but remember you are god damn sexy lol

Ive only got two weeks til due date and once baby comes along friends have told me I'll be too tired to even think about it anyway so prob solved hurrah!

There seems to be a lot of women in the mens chatroom, do we all look because we secretly want to know what they all talk about?!
Guys, do you mind this?
We know you read our Heat magazines when you think we arnt looking!

We don't mind. There aren't enough of us guys to keep it going anyway.

We did ask the doctor what the natural protection was in her body for when the baby got bigger - just to reassure ourselves. He obviously told us there was nothing to worry about unless you were medically abnormally large in that area.

I wasn't sure whether i fell into that bracket and was unzipping my fly to whap it out on the table for the docs opinion - but the wife was very definate that i shouldn't worry for some reason........

Know where youre coming from, my arse apparently according to hubby has not so much got bigger but spread higher up my back.
WTF??
Dont you blokes realise yet that when asked THE questions, you know the ones:
Am I fatter than I used to be?
Do you fancy me more than Angelina Jolie etc etc you are meant to LIE FOR GODS SAKE!!
We know the answers allready but our girlfriends lie to us so we expect our men to as well.
Hubby regretted arse comment though as prompted epic discussion (on my part mostly) about what exactly did that mean and more importantly did that mean bigger?!
Valuable lesson on his part learned there...

My ex went off me when I was pregnant, he was convinced he would hurt the baby's head (Ha!) or that (slightly more realisitcally) the waters might pop all over him and he would never be able to get it up again.

Aw bless him
Without being too nosey did er things get back to normal afterwards?

Why would your nose change?!
Honestly the things they dont tell you will happen in pregnancy are innumerable!
I have one fat leg, the other one is fine whats that all about?

When I wear leggings (hideous crime against fashion I know, but sooo comfy!) it means that one leg reaches my cankle while the fatter leg one cant quite make it and I cant wear boots to hide it cos I cant do the zips up anymore!
Might just hide out in bed for the last few weeks with a skipfull of chocolate and cheesy puffs next to me!
Just remembered we are in the mens room.
Where are they?
Have we frightened them off?

Yay as in flashdance how cool...runs off to garage to get hubbys blowtorch...dancing round kitchen in pants and legwarmers with blowtorch...sets fire to curtains oh dear!
Am I showing my age now?

Foosfan, my DH was like yours - afraid of hurting. It wasn't anything to do with what I looked like. We found other ways to entertain ourselves for the duration

did the nose get back to normal after birth?

Maybe if he comes home from work to find me in the pants/legwarmers ensamble that'll do the trick.
Or it might scar him for life also I guess...
