Is it normal for your partner to not be attracted to you while pregnant? This isn’t our first child together so he has experienced me being pregnant before.
I asked him if pregnancy is a turn off for him and he said yes.
Sex has been maybe once a week (used to be a lot more)
He usually has a high sex drive.
At night time he just rolls over in the opposite direction and goes to sleep. He says he is happy and excited for this baby (his 1st boy). he doesn’t like touching my belly to feel the baby move.
I’ve asked him what’s wrong and he says nothing I’m just tired or uses every excuse under the sun and says your pregnant…
I’ve told him it doesn’t hurt the baby..
(I think he feels weird that there is a baby in there).. thoughts?
This is a place where women from different backgrounds, cultures and beliefs come together to support one another judgement free.

It would be weird feeling it move. Just because he's medically allowed to be with you doesn't mean it's wrong if he'd prefer not to. It also doesn't mean he doesn't love you. I don't think that this is something that you can or should influence. You just need to understand what he says and value how he feels.
My husband was like this when I was pregnant. I think some men just don’t feel right doing it.
Not my husband. We had sex frequently the whole time with 2 pregnancies. We just had to find comfortable positions
My husband was the same and I’ve spoken to heaps of the blokes at work who felt the same. They just said it creeped them out lol. So it’s not you.
What was he like during your first pregnancy? Was he the same, or is it only this pregnancy that he has an issue? Does he attend appointments with you? Maybe take him to your next appointment and bring it up with your doctor or midwife, so they can discuss it with him. If he was fine during the first pregnancy, then you’ll need to get to the bottom of why he feels differently this time.
