Don't want sex anymore

by Confused

I can't stand it when my husband touch me or want to have sex with me. Last night I gave in to him since he is getting really frustrated and I felt bad for him. I didn't enjoy it and felt dirty. To be honest I really hated it.

Why am I feeling this way? I'm three months pregnant and two months ago I still enjoyed sex and wanted it. I don't want to hurt my husband, he is the closes person to me and I love him dearly.


My answer:

I'm sorry to say but that is how the changing hormone levels during pregnancy occasionally works. Things that felt natural, easy and good a few weeks back can feel repulsive now. Hormones affects how we feel, think about and see the world and ourselves. You need to ride it out and try just to laugh at it. It will pass. In a couple of months you will laugh about it.

In the meantime, make sure that you are eating healthily, take your supplements as you should, get enough sleep and rest. Consider having a talk with you doctor about this. A little adjustment may just make a difference that will make things better for you. Explain this to your husband so that he understands what is going on and supports you during this time.

During pregnancy there are some women who wants sex at every opportunity possible and some who hates being touched in any way. It is normal. Try to relax and know that this will pass in a while.
