I'm 27+1 weeks pregnant, and over the last 4 weeks, i've started to find my partner is becoming is becoming quite distant. Don't get me wrong, he still tells me he loves me and he loves to cuddle up in bed, but everytime I try to initiate or show some interest in sex, my advances are rebuffed Sad I've tried bringing it up in a 'jokey' manner but he just laughs it off. To be honest, i'm starting to get a bit worried...I don't know if he doesn't find me sexy anymore because of my changing body or if it's just me being paranoid...HELP!!

You won't know if you don't ask. Some men are squeamish about having sex with pregnant women. Others find it a huge turn-on. Express yourself assertively rather than joking or making assumptions which leave you feeling insecure.

Some men have an irrational fear that they'll somehow hurt the baby.

Do ask him, and explain how you feel.

Agreed. There's also some creepiness around the whole ejaculating-on-the-baby's-head thang. You may have to draw some pictures.
