| My DH is very high drive. He’s not pushing me to have sex but I know he wants to. I’m 35 weeks and absolutely miserable and do not want to have sex or do anything sexual. Is this terrible? I normally like sex and we normally have a good sex life, but I am just over it. (And by it, I mean literally everything.) |
Only thing that matters here. |

We did it 6 hours before the baby was out (my water broke right after we went to sleep). But that’s because I wanted to! Tell him outright “Listen, I’m hugely pregnant and just can’t have sex anymore. Sorry, let’s try after baby comes and my doctor clears me for it. I love you!”
Offer some no penetration intimacy if you want to, but any sane man will realize he has to suck it up. Think of how many men get deployed or put on submarines. Guys can easily go months without sex, they just don’t like too. |
| You don’t want to. End of story. This can wait until you’re ready after delivery. |
| Throughout the pregnancy. Up to the day before going into labor. |
| Agree with the other posters. I'm also 35 weeks and have absolutely no drive. I still do other things for my husband because I don't mind. If you're not into it, just have an honest conversation with him. Any reasonable man will understand and be supportive |
| Oh, gosh, my drive went out the window at about... 5 months? At that point my husband found it a little freaky too, so we were done then, both times. |
| He can get over it. I’m 30 weeks and have been on pelvic rest for over a month now. It sucks but it is what it is. During my last pregnancy, I think the last time was around 34 weeks. It was just too uncomfortable for me after that. |
