I Dont Think My Husband Is Attracted to Me Since Im Pregnant

You are def not alone here. I went through it as well as my sister in law. My BIL finally told her that it wasn't that he wasnt attracted to her it was just scary for him cause he didn't know if he'd hurt her, or hurt the baby, or cause a miscarriage or something. Once they finally sat down and talked things were back to normal for them. :)

Yes, my husband did not want to do anything while I was pregnant, both times. He felt it was weird and didn't want to hurt the baby, whatever that means. He just didn't feel right about it. After I had both children he bounced back to his normal self, which is wanting it everyday if possible. Don't worry too much, it is not you he probably is just weirded out about a growing baby inside your belly and doesn't want to intrude on that space. At least that is what my husband said. Hope this helps make you feel a little better. A lot of my friends experienced the same reactions from their husbands as well. Its Normal I think!

I thought the same thing about my hubby when I was pregnant too. He told me finally after the baby was born that he was afraid to hurt the baby, he didn't know any better. He went back to college and actually took a human development class, so now he thinks he's the expert in this area...lol and know he knows better.

honey,
its not that he is not attracted to you its that he feels it might hurt the baby in some way or in my husbands case he might feel its wierd since the baby is inside of you. just be patient it will pass.

my husband was that way too. I loved being pregnant but I always felt so hurt by him during that time. As soon as the babies were out things changed rather quickly though. With my husband I knew that it wasn't because he didn't find me attractive it was because he couldn't deal with the fact that his child was inside me. It was rather distrurbing for him and very frustrating and hurtful for me.

I went through something similar. We got pregnant unexpectedly...we were going to wait a couple more years, and when I got pregnant and started showing, my husband didn't seem to be attracted to me either. I truly believe in my case (not necessarily yours) that I (and my changing body) was just a constant reminder to him that his responsibility-free world was coming to an end. He didn't think he was ready for a child...although he COMPLETELY changed when the baby was born. He's the best dad I know and he LOVES being a dad. But I know how you feel. Hang in there. He will come around, just like everyone said. There's lots of cute maternity lengerie out there too.

On a positive note.. there are a lot of men out there that are really attracted to pregnant women. Seriously... I guess it's the maternal thing in us, or something. It's just new to him right now, he's still getting used to the idea. He'll get past it, trust me!
