How do you keep your relationship during pregnancy?
Author: I've heard that during pregnancy women get more difficult, like havung PMS for 9 months. How do you keep your relationship working great when you are pregnant? How do you deal with the idea the he might not be attracted to you anymore cause you are gaining weight, or because you've become this big green moody monster? What is healthy in a relationship during pregnancy?
My relationship with my husband has actually grown stronger. I've given him lots of reading materials about my hormonal changes so he understands I'm not always in control of my own body anymore. There have been times when it's been rough, but on the whole my pregnancy has brought us closer together. We talk a lot more about our hopes and fears for the future. I think communication is key. As far as attraction is concerned…I haven't noticed my husband "checking out" other women and he tells me daily how good I look (and he likes how I smell. apparently I smell differently. He even made a joke the other day that while God has given me cankles, he made up for it by makign me smell good.) I did want sex more earlier on in pregnancy (when I looked normal) but now at 8 months it's the last thing on both of our minds. We just talk and laugh together. That's what's healthy for us. But it's important to remember that every relationship adn every pregnancy is different.
