I am 22 and my boyfriend is 30. We have been together 11 months and expecting our first child together.I also have a daughter who is 2 and half from previous relationship witch he is totally fine about. When we first got together we were having sex at least once a day. These last few months it has dropped dramatically like once a week/fortnight. He says he doesn't want to as much because I'm pregnant but the sex dropped before I was pregnant. I'm not a sex addict or anything but I don't feel this is enough. It makes me feel insecure horrible and ugly. I've tried numerous times talking to him about it but don't really get anywhere. Any ideas anyone please thank you xx

Some guys lose interest in sex while their partner is pregnant because they fear that they might hurt the child but they need to be made aware that the baby is completely safe while in the mother stomach and protected by the amino sac. Also, having sex is good for the mother while she's pregnant unless the doctor tells you otherwise.
Don't let this make you feel any less about yourself but I understand your feelings because I went through this with my daughter's father. I educated him about sex while preganant through pamplets and I had the doctor talk to him. Slowly but surely he starting coming around and our sex life increase. He this his first child?
Here is a site that you can have him take a look at. I hopes this helps. www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/antenatalhealth/sexduringpregnancy/

Wow, he must have been interested in something, cause your pregnant, and the hormones are raging. Relax, till the baby comes, and please don't bite his head off.
When guys make a baby it's a lot of work.
Poor guy.
