Pregnant and struggling

2 replies

I'm 33 weeks pregnant. I'm struggling to be close with my partner. I feel like we never cuddle anymore, or have any intimacy at the minute.

We have been together 5 years and have a 2&1/2year old. Obviously pregnancy is a factor but it's all I can think about at the moment. I feel soo distant from him and I don't know why I'm struggling to even cuddle on the couch.

Please tell me it's just my hormones and lack of sleep?

It’s hormones and lack of sleep Grin

I think it’s nature’s way of kind of making you focus on the baby. I remember feeling like I was under water most of my pregnancy. Very detached.

@Bigmango Thankyou! I don't remember feeling this way when I was pregnant first time round. I know being busy with her won't help. Plus I want her to feel like she's my top priority. Just feel like my partner might think I don't love him anymore 🤦🏻‍♀️
