I am 36 weeks and me and my DH haven't had sex since April...I dont even want to count how long that is!
Anytime i mention it DH says' "Not in your condition..." in a humorous way which i know is his way of saying he doesn't want to 'hurt' the baby/he finds it wrong to do that when there is a baby in there. This is fine but as he isn't the most affectionate of people anyway (very loving, attentive and generally fab husband otherwise) i just feel really distant from him without that affection.
Very very little cuddling and nothing else going on...making me really sad feel totally distant from him but he doesn't get it. My hormones are wild and even now starting to think he doesn't love me anymore. If i said that he would just tell me i'm being silly.
I really need affection etc and as I'm not getting it i'm finding it so hard.
Anyone else???

34 weeks here - and nothing since last year (30th Dec to be precise!) on honeymoon before we found out. Has always been a bit of an issue in our relationship tbh (we're one of those annoying couples who conceived after one shag in 4 months) and I am missing it. Had lots of little bleeds earlier in pregnancy so that put me off sex, but would be nice now to do something intimate together. Getting worried how long it'll be before we do it again! We are affectionate in other ways though, and very snuggly in bed (bit too much for me when I'm already boiling...).

Maybe talk to your OH? Let him know how you're feeling - or next time he is spontaneously affectionate make it clear how much that means to you (rather than pointing out something he isn't doing to him). :)

Good idea misty will definitely point out the positive and not go on about the negative. Think that just makes it worse! Good luck with your pregnancy...not long now!x

BabyLove80 I am pleased someone else feels this way, all I seem to read in books is that men will want sex and we'll have to negotiate not too!

Opposite problem here I want to but he doesn't! I dare not count back to the last time we had sex, my DH says he can't as its like there is "three of us"

Our NCT teacher actually said to us at the women only session that after the birth we would have to have sex again eventually as our DH/DP would only wait for so long!!!!

I was beginning to think I was some kind of nymphomaniac (sp?)

My DH isn't really one for lots of kissing/cuddling so I really miss the physical affection.

I am embarrassed to admit this but on Saturday morning he put his arm round me in bed, then patted the bump and rolled over to the other side away from me, so I cried (I didn't tell him) Sad

Ash vic don't worry it's just our hormones and I think men just get freaked out by it all, which is understandable, freaks me out to think there is a whole baby in here!!! If it makes you feel any better last Friday I had this really vivid dream dh didn't live me anymore and left me and I woke up sobbing...when dh asked me what was wrong he said, "doesn't sound like such a bad dream to me!"Angry lol could have killed him cheeky bu*%23€r!!x
