Heya Gage,
Great name BTW!
I am sure I am not going to offer anything new to this thread, but if its any consolation I haven't felt much like DTD at all during this pregnancy. My poor DH also feels the same way you do. He also knows I am feeling a bit out of sorts with my body etc. I use to be a dancer and was trim, taught and terrific but now have these god aweful stretch marks, I have blown up early etc
DH has started doing nice things for me like rubbing the bio oil into my back, butt, belly etc etc which doesn't do anything to get me in the mood but seeing him appreciate my body in this way without wanting anything in return is really sweet. And through this I know that he is appreciating all the changes that are happening with my body and can appreciate why I am feeling so yuk about my appearence. Seems like a silly thing to him because he loves me no matter what I look like but women like to feel good and when we feel good you know
We have spoken to out GP about sex and know that its ok to DTD but it doesn't help the way i feel.
Besides - this pregancy stuff is totally exhausting just remeber that Bub is sucking everything out of her literally to grow and develop into a healthy baby. She is probably up a few times a night, heartburn, food preferences etc all of which can be very draining.
It is hard for Dh or partners etc and you're only human so its natural to feel a bit left out and unloved etc just give it time and do nice things like rub her back or help her moisturise areas etc without it leading to anything, and when she is feeling ready she will come round.
Just be patient, it is easier said then done but remember you're not the only one not getting any - she isn't either so she is also going through the lack of physical contact + everything else .... which is alot.
Nae x
