I am currently 8 months pregnant.

With my pregnancy when I was carrying my son I had my moments where I didn't want to be affectionate, but for the most part I retained intimacy and sexual desires.

This new pregnancy however has totally obliterated EVERYTHING!! I have had absolutely no desire for sex and do not even want to do the simpler things like kiss, cuddle, etc since shortly after finding out we were having another baby.

My husband needs the affection (he has said he can go fine without the sex) and I have a strong aversion to it. What are some things I can to do fulfill his needs?? How can I overcome my extreme (temporary) distaste for intimacy??

Here's a guys point of view...

Intimacy is not just the cuddle and sex. I think that just acknowledging your lack of desire to him is a form of being intimate.

Reassurance that it is not about him but your condition is respectful and thoughtful.

By the way, this forum is a little slow. Try moving it to General questions for a better response.
