Hi lovely mums,
Has anyone else experienced being slightly repulsed by sex or sexual contact with your husband while pregnant. I'm 9 weeks pregnant and from about 4 weeks I can't stand the thought of sex or kissing with my husband. I absolutely adore him and he is a wonderful supportive and very understanding man, I just can't stand touching him atm. I feel so bad and have made sure I try to get in the mood at least once a week. He doesn't pressure me but I think he can sense I am a little repulsed which I don't understand as I'm very attracted to hubby.
I hope I'm not the only one that felt like this while pregnant ?

Pregnancy can do really weird things to you. You are not alone, it won't be forever. Don't make yourself have sex, relax. I wasn't up for any kind of exercise or sex due to morning sickness for the first few months, then my sex drive kicked back in and it was all on again.
Yep I have 3 kids and my 2 nd I didn't want a bar of my hubby the 1st and 3 rd I couldn't get enough. Hormones do weird things to your body. The only thing I can suggest is a very understanding husband.
Definitely not alone on that. My first pregnancy sex drive came back for most of second trimester then left again for the third. This time round, just no interest. All hormones.
My baby is 2 and I still don't feel like having sex :p
It will just be hormones, no need to worry and stress and it will pass soon enough
We only had sex 3 times the whole pregnancy! I was very sick for 26 weeks so definetely wasn't on the cards. Hope your partner is as understanding as mine was
Yepp, I was starting to think I lived his as a friend and no more I was quiet stressed about it. Nopee went back to normal after baby :)

I was exactly the same!!! I couldn't even stand kissing him and I actually felt dirty having sex. I told myself I'm not going to do it anymore unless I really wanted to because I couldn't get in the mood. And I felt bad because we have an amazing sex life. I'm now 18 weeks and it definitely coming back. I'm no longer repulsed lol I still take a while to warm up but we get there.
He was very patient while I went through this.
Don't do anything you don't want to because I feel like that will make it last longer.
I Am Currently 16 Weeks Pregnant With My Second Child & I Feel The Same Exact Way. Decided To Look This Is To See If I Was The Only One . Glad To See I’m Not. It’s Crazy Cause I Did Not Feel Like This At All With My Daughter.
You're not alone. I'm 7 months pregnant and sex makes my stomach turn. I try to push it out of my mind, but I just can't get in the mood with my husband. The very thought disgusts me. Hopefully after baby is born, my hormones will go back to normal.
