Hi all,
I'm new to the forum, and new to the pregnancy experience. I just hit 27 weeks, and am really feeling frustrated in the sex dept. My sex drive is almost non-existent, but I WANT to be in the mood. My husband and I haven't been intimate in a couple of weeks mainly because the last few times we tried it wasn't good at all.
We've reached the point where there is just no comfortable position. My biggest problem though is I honestly can't stay mentally in the mood. If my husband goes anywhere near my boobs, i immediately imagine breastfeeding the baby. What makes it worse is when she's actually moving around while we're trying to be together. it's not the physical aspect of her moving that's a problem, it's the fact that I can't be sexual knowing my baby is right there between us lol. It just feels so wrong.
We've kind of accepted that sex will be a challenge for now until after she's born, so we're approaching it from other angles to avoid being frustrated. But that's not working so well for me. I miss my husband, and I just hate being so distracted.
Anyone else going through this and has any tips or advice on making the best of the situation? Thanks.
