Normally ? I have a very very high sex drive and DP doesn?t want it nearly as much as me. He is more than happy with once or twice a week But since being pregnant it is like role reversal! I cant think of anything worse! And he is like a sex starved maniac! He loves the way that my body has changed (and that he did it! Lol) and it turns him on! Which is great for my confidence on my days when I feel like a blob, which is about every second one at the moment!
My Advice is just talk about it. We are very open and have talked about it quite a great deal. He knows where I am coming from and I know where he is coming from. It doesn?t really help the situation but it makes it much easier to deal with because there is no animosity between us about it. DP knows that I will instigate it when I am ready, and we are still intimate ? just not sexually. We still cuddle all the time and he rubs moisturizer on my belly every night so we still have that contact. He has even got quite inventive about doing things to relax me and hopefully get me in the mood! Some nights while I am showering he will light a dozen candels in our room and we lay in bed cuddling listening to a CD, or he will surprise me with a full body massage ? no strings attached. Yet sometimes these are just the things I need to make me interested! It?s a bit hit and miss but he gets it and luckily doesn?t push.
My biggest issue is I think ? I have very low blood pressure, and it makes me really tired along with shocking headaches, in addition to almost constant thrush.
But I am praying like mad that it comes back with the baby and everything goes back to normal ? except of course DP?s new obsession with sex!
