Hello, i am a concerned husband.
my wife is about 8 weeks pregnant, and we just went to our first doctors visit last week. My problem is, she has stopped showing affection towards me. She was always the more affectionate of us, and now all of a sudden it seems to have stopped. it's like she has no interest in touching me even. We are facing a couple of problems that are about to be resolved; finances (because we had to take time off work) and an overbearing mooch room mate (Who has now been kicked out and we are preparing to move).
I am wondering is this loss of affection a normal part of pregnancy, and if so will it go away, could it be the doctor, and in part her own sudden realization of how real it is (I feel she may feel that some of her youth is being stolen with this and she blames me. Whenever we talk about it she will say "It's your fault this is happening" and when asked about the fault she replies she is happy but it wouldn't be so without me), is it that she blames me, and if so will she come to terms and become affectionate again, or could it just be her stress over these problems, and maybe all of the previous in one?
Is it normal, or do i need to look into something? ↓
I wouldnt blame yourself, just be there for her when she needs it. Get her food that shes craving and just be extra nice to her. I am a real easy going person and lately I am a witch! I'm arouns 9 weeks preg and my bf does a lot for me but sometimes its just not good enough (as I think). He stays out of my way and we plan us time which it just laying around watching movies or going out to eat. I never want sex or i may want to cuddle but it lasts for no more then 5 minutes cuz i just get overwhelmed. Just let her know you will be there for her and give her her distance ↑
Hormones are all over the map now and until well after she delivers. But especially in the first trimester most find their sex drive drops. For most it returns in the second trimester, others not at all. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions on this one -- you need to talk it out with her, not try and speculate here. ↑
Yeah its definitely a hormonal thing. When I was pregnant I cried when my husband went to work and when he came back n tried to hug me I begged him to get away. Don't get offended or take it personally, just know that she isn't feeling exactly like herself right now. ↑
