Not wanting to be touched?

Currently 17 weeks pregnant with DC2 and over the last week or so I’ve increasingly found that I can’t bear to be touched.

I think DH struggles to understand why I’m not my usual affectionate self but I just can’t be doing with being touched right now.

If he puts his hand on me I’m pulling away and I really can’t stand him touching my bump or pressing his face to my bump to talk to the baby.

I’m still happy to have cuddles with 3 y/o DD but as far as DH, the dog and everyone else goes I just want to physically be left alone.

Is this normal? Has anyone else felt like this whilst pregnant?

I’m feeling like this!!! I could have wrote this post😳
I grimace the moment he comes near me! Hope it passes soon!

@Anon9990 that makes me feel much better that I’m not alone!

I don’t remember feeling like this so early on when pregnant with my first - just had enough of everyone touching my stomach by the time my due date eventually arrived.

Likewise..... hoping it passes soon. Confused

Totally normal. I felt exactly like this until the 3rd trimester every time DP would touch me even in his sleep I would just want him off me couldn’t stand anyone’s touch at all. It’s just hormones and will pass :)
