The Ick for DP when pregnant

[cheeseontoast7]

So I have extreme “Ick” (for those who know what it is) for my DP and I’m 20 weeks pregnant.

I can’t stand him being in the same room as me, everything he does I find beyond irritating, no attraction to him, his touch or kiss makes me shudder, and I feel sick at the thought of having sex with him :( I feel awful and so guilty for feeling this way but I’m starting to think I felt this way before I think that I may have. He is so sweet and lovely to me but also very needy which just makes the ick even stronger!

I know this sounds ridiculous but he spent ages at the supermarket yesterday and I hoped that he had run away and left me 🙈
It’s got so bad I’m thinking of leaving once the baby is here and already making plans in my head about how this is going to work. Is this just pregnancy hormones? Or have I realised we aren’t compatible far to late?!

I didn't want to read and run... I had the exact same feelings when I was pregnant (it ended in termination so different but the feelings exactly the same)

The sheer smell of my partner made me sick, I used to make him shower twice. I couldn't have him touch me, I was co convinced I hated him, everything he did despite being SO SO LOVELY made me shudder. I thought about moving to the other side of the world to get away from him. Not long after the termination, all those feelings went and I loved him exactly how I did before and I could no longer 'smell' him 😂 I've read a a lot of posts on here about the pregnancy Ick - it's very common. Make sure you let him know it's the hormones and stay as positive as you can knowing it IS just hormones x

Yes hormonal Ick is a thing, I get it when I'm due on, every single month I plan my escape, then when I come on I love him again 😂

I also had it when pregnant.

Don't make any life changing decisions and just see how you feel when the baby is here!
