    Sure there are some men out there who really aren't turned on by pregnant women and find it difficult during pregnancy to be intimate with their partner for a variety of reasons but most men do really find their partner attractive during pregnancy. We might think we look like rubbish but they don't see the things we do. They see the bigger breasts, rounding belly etc as sexy or beautiful and of course as evidence of their masculinity and ability to impregnante

    As many of you have said that DH is just buttering you up for a bit of action - personally the fact that they are trying to get you into the mood for a bit indicates that they fancy you right? If they didn't find you sexy they wouldn't be putting in the groundwork to get you into bed would they? I think that is evidence for the case that yes they do actually find you sexy while pregnant.

    Nope I don't believe a wod of it when he says it. I don't feel very sexy when I'm not pg, and when I am it's non existent! It doesn't help when DH tells me flat out at other times that he doesn't think pg women look sexy. Or the fact that he barely touches me or that we don't DTD almost at all. And he doesn't do things like he used to- watch me get out of the shower, get dressed....If I ask him if I look ok he has said 'as ok as you can being ... months pg'. Hmmm way to make a hugely pg, hormonal, insecure woman feel good.

    kellieem - i have the same type of partner as you.
    makes it very hard emotionally.

    My problem was that i wanted to DTD often when i was pg and for the most part was pretty happy wit the way that i looked... when i didnt get any reassuring words and he was not interested in the bedroom it really really hurt and i started to not like my growing belly as much...

    He has never liked the look of pg women, sure he loved the fact that i was growing his child and he loved the chenges, just not in my figure.

    Be greatful that you have partners that love your sexy body and lap it up...
    I would kill for a partner that wanted to butter me up for later when i was pg!!!

    I think some men have a disconnect between a male society that says you're 'supposed' to think thin is sexy, vs their own reaction to their gorgeous wife growing a baby! Plus I think all that extra oestrogen swimming around in your system has got to appeal to them at some level!

    Sammiejane, Yep my libido is through the roof too. It so sucks cause we could have had such fun !! LOL.
    And I agree with Marydean, if your hubbies/partners think you look gorgeous and tell you so, bask in that glory!!

    To all ladies pregnant or not,you are all beautiful in your own way,believe in yourselves,learn to love what you have or what you can`t have,you don`t need your partners or husband telling you otherwise,I?m a cuddly woman and my hubby loves my curves,but it would be a turn off to some,but who cares,my husband loves me for who I?m and he is even more grateful for sharing every pregnancy and being able to give him children.Sometimes I think it`s the men who are insecure and need to get over themselves,( not all men ) if only they realy knew what it was like to be pregnant and to give birth,they would appreciate us more.This should be a happy time for all you lovely woman,so love yourselves and take care.
