Going off partner

[Secondpreg]

I’m 3m pregnant with my second child, different dad to first. I am feeling really icked out and don’t want to be affectionate with my partner, has anyone else experienced this in pregnancy? I have been really suffering with nausea but now that’s eased off and I still don’t feel like I can be affectionate. I don’t remember feeling like this with my first pregnancy. My first son’s dad was abusive and we split up before he turned 1. My current partner is a good man and will be a good dad but I can’t stop thinking about the fact I feel like I’m not going to want to be with him :(

I couldn't stand the sight of my husband when I was pregnant with my first. Luckily he was very understanding and those feelings went away once our daughter was born.

I literally don’t want him near me I feel awful! Glad to hear it went away when baby was born. My fear is this is still a fairly new relationship. We have been together just over a year only

I felt really disconnected from my husband for four months of the pregnancy. He seemed really smelly and gross and I had no interest in cuddling etc. I just found him so annoying.

things are back to normal now at 34 weeks and I love being in his arms again (and can tolerate his smells again too!)

I had a sense when it was happening that it was a hormonal/pregnancy thing as I didn’t really feel myself in other ways too, and also felt quite disconnected from friends and family. That stage of pregnancy was really lonely and I’ve been very relived to come out of it. I told him I was feeling weird but was confident things would go back to normal at some point and he was really understanding and patient. I found encouraging myself to have a little cuddle helped a bit too.

I hope it works out similarly for you!

Aw yeah it’s really rough I haven’t been feeling myself. But it also doesn’t help that my partner has not been so understanding and keeps interrogating me about how I feel, accusing me of changing towards him etc
