Pregnant and cannot stand partner!

[CobaltRose96]

Hi all,

I'm currently 21+3 with my first baby and seemingly cannot stand my partner right now!

Everything he says or does irritates me. I even feel my heart sink when he comes home from work! My sex drive has tanked (haven't had sex since I was 6 weeks pregnant and have no desire to do it whatsoever. In fact it kind of repulses me right now), and I don't even like being touched by him! I have to force myself to hug and kiss him. Even just him putting his hand on my back makes me cringe. Sometimes I wonder how I ever managed to find him attractive enough to make a baby with 😂

I initially thought my intolerance of him was due to the unpleasant symptoms of the first trimester, but I'm well into the second trimester now, don't feel ill anymore, and he STILL annoys me! I'm far more irritable and impatient with him than I was pre-pregnancy. It's not just him though, I feel more impatient and irritable in general, but since I live with the poor bloke, DP bears the brunt of most of it 😂

This has all been since I got pregnant. I actually liked DP quite a bit beforehand 😉 I feel like such a cow as he's not actually done anything to annoy me, so I try not to be too hard on him. I'm sure he's noticed, though.

Did anyone else go off their OH when pregnant? Seems like you always hear about women who become absolute horn-dogs during pregnancy and pounce on their men at every opportunity, but not the opposite!

I had this when I was pregnant with my DD! Exactly the same, couldn't stand DH for the duration of my pregnancy.

Did a complete reversal from about 1 week after the birth though, so it didn't stick around!

I’m the same in 19 weeks at the moment. He’a irritating 😂 He will just have to deal with being told to go away 🤷🏾‍♀️

13 weeks here and feeling similar 😂🙈 just blaming the hormones

If you’re anything like me it’ll continue until baby is born. I’m 36 wks pregnant with DC2 and can’t bear DH - it’s got worse as pregnancy has progressed. I just hope that I’m hiding it well enough. I was the same with DC1 and then back to normal once baby was born so I’m assuming it will be the same this time too.

Am currently lying awake next to him whilst he has the cheek to breathe. Yes, it’s that bad that I’m even finding his breathing annoying.

I'm the same. Mine is sooooo irritating. When he comes to hug me in bed and gets his face really close to mine it gets me so mad. I have to tell him to move his head back, I can't do with him breathing right in my face. And when he kisses me and his nose touches my face I hate it.

Only 14 weeks to go haha

I had this with both pregnancies, thankfully it's more of less worn off now I'm in the third trimester. There are a few days when he irritates the hell out of me but that's just being married!
