Pregnancy is tiring, what does he expect-some rampant minx.God I was knackered when I was pregnant and still am nearly 10 years later!! Maybe you could encourage him to have a few cold showers.

On the other hand I think its fab you fiance fancies you so much while your pregnant.When I was pregnant my ex used to say I was like a beached whale-hence one reason why he's now my ex.Enjoy your relationship and your pregnancy-you'll both be shattered after bubs arrives!!.

Re: suffering s.. life

This is perfectly normal. Especially later in pregnancy when sex can become uncomfortable. Well not so much the sex but certain positions. I actaully had that problem the other way around. I never wanted it befor I got pregnant but then I wanted it all the time.

With your partner, Have you spoken to him about your feelings?  Everyone says a relationship can't be based on sex but I believe it is a really big part along with honesty and communication. If you haven't already speak to him and just ask him to understand and if you can try to explain why? Make sure you let him know he is doing nothing wrong and everything is else is fine (which hopefully it is). Good luck and hopefully you come up with a solution where you are both happy with the outcome.

Hey.

I totally understnad what your saying and its completely normal to lose your sex drive.

Im 37 weeks pregnant and HAVNT had sex in 6months!!!!!  Yes my partner complained at the start but he now understands that its not me its my hormones. Im not by any means ashamed of my body, i loved my body before i was pregnant and still love it now, BUMP AND ALL LOL!! Im scared that it will hurt the baby cos i know it cant unless you have been told so. I think its more the fact that i just dont feel like it and im not going to do something that i dont feel like.

You need to talk to your fiance about this, the last thing you need is to feel pressured into having sex. You can do other things.

Sweetie, this is perfectly normal.  Some women's libido increases, others go down and some stay the same.

I'm 32 weeks along with my 5th, and I have my days where I couldn't care less, and then there are the days I wish this was my first! lol. 

It depends on a number of things, like hormones and how you are feeling as well as your self image.

Sex during pregnancy, unless you have a known complication that precludes you from having some fun, is actually very good for you.  It can help to keep muscles toned, ready for birth, and can be a great mood lifter.

By now, i'm sure you are pretty tired all the time.  yeah, know that feeling.  Tiredness will also affect your desire to have sex, so try and get some decent sleep (if that is possible when pregnant!).

Intimacy is different to sex.  You don't even have to get your clothes off.  This is more important than sex, and keeps your relationship even stronger.  Talking, massage, cuddling and just spending quality time together can help you to feel closer.  It can also spark your sex drive again.  You could try showering together, and washing each other.  Let your fiance be involved with your pregnancy by rubbing your back, or your feet or your belly!
