Hello, I'm 31 weeks pregnant, it was not a planned pregnancy and my partner and I have not been together very long- 15 mos. My problem is that my partner cannot bear to touch me. We have not been naked together since I began to show. I am worried about the implications of this on the intimacy of giving birth. And how things will be after the birth. I don't feel comfortable with him anymore and hide myself- my self-esteem has plummetted...
He is a big porn watcher and this makes me angry, upset and paranoid like never before.
Any ideas of what to DO? I feel like I have become really irritating and emotional and I talk AT him, he never says anything and won't see a professional 'cause as he puts it, if he can't talk to me why would he talk to someone he doesn't know? He has managed to tell me that the idea of the baby 'in there' whilst attempting anything sexual or intimate makes him feel sick.
I really want to feel joyful and excited about the birth but spend a LOT of time worrying about this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thankyou!
