Intimacy during pregnancy

Ladies, do you and your husband still have sex during pregnancy? Since we found out about our pregnancy, we stopped altogether cause he’s afraid to hurt the baby, which I have reassured that it won’t happen. I even tried initiating sex but he would brush me aside. I guess what upsets me is that he watches porn, masturbates behind my back and yet wont even cuddle me like before. Must be my emotions but I feel like with this pregnancy, with the changes my body is going through. Not quite sure if he’ll even find me attractive post pregnancy. Even I don’t feel attractive myself. I don’t know if I’m the only soul who feels this lousy.. :(

I can relate and understand how you feel, my husband was the same too during my pregnancy. However I realized it is a common mindset with husbands and we need to keep in mind they are going through a lot of changes too like us. It's not an excuse when they say they are afraid to hurt us or the baby, plus any position would be pretty awkward with the tummy in the way. I'm sure he still loves you and baby a lot, but I think you should have a heart to heart talk with him and explain your feelings and give him a chance to explain his. Good luck!
