No my husband looks at me now with only sex eyes. It's almost creepy. I don't know what it is but he is all about it. Although, we are having less sex because I fall asleep way before I used to, so that could be some of it.
The only concern DH had was towards the end of the pregnancy I was in a lot of pelvic pain and he didnt want to hurt me. It was not the first time for either of us so our sex life never really changed.
DH is pretty freaked out by my belly, too, lol
We're super active, gym, playing hockey, running, etc., and I think it's hard for him to see me having a hard time getting around these days.
It doesn't freak him out completely, but he's not as into sex when I'm pregnant. With baby #1 right around 6 months he was like "I'm sorry, I feel like I'm crushing you, and with the baby here it's just weird..."
I was understanding about it. After the baby he was timing that 6 weeks like clockwork, but it ended up being 9 weeks after.
DH likes to see my belly, and he does like to touch it. I think he's a little scared of hurting me or the baby though. He's very gentle and careful now, and intimacy has been an issue lately b/c I think it scares him.
Intimacy has been a big issue with us lately. The 1st trimester I didn't want to, but now I do and it really freaks him out! He feels like he is going to hurt the baby, and he doesn't like my belly touching him becuase if the baby moves he can feel it! I understand, but it does suck!
My DH has been touching my belly since we found out we were pregnant. He talks to the baby and rubs the belly all the time. Im really lucky, because I thought he would be turned off by my growing belly especially since he was is in total shock when I told him we were pregnant.
@Rosie Girl: It's been an issue with us too. For weeks and weeks I didn't want to, and then when I finally started coming around to it, he started getting pretty freaked out. If you add to that the fact that our favorite old positions aren't working so well anymore (if at all), and it's definitely a balancing act.
HE hasn't felt the baby move yet, but I sort of think once he does, he'll stop even trying completely. No matter how many times I tell him the baby has no clue what he's up to, he doesn't really believe me.
I'm not sure if he thinks it's "beautiful" especially right now (first trimester) since I'm lazy and look like I have a beer belly for a bump. He certainly doesn't make me feel any different while I'm pregnant. He still tells me I'm beautiful and that I'm not fat...right. He LOVES feeling the baby kick - last pregnancy we were up until midnight once while he was holding my stomach and smiling.
He's all about sex right now, for some reason sex is just better pregnant. Maybe because we don't have to worry about preventing it or trying to get pregnant. The only time he denied me sex during my last pregnancy was when I was 9 months, which was fine... I was uncomfortable anyway.
DH didnt mind really. He really liked my pregnant belly for some reason, and thought it was the coolest thing ever to watch my tummy move when the baby moved. He was fine with preggo body and post preggo body because he says its amazing to know I am the mother of his child and he liked seeing the changes. He is weird though. LOL
Granted I'm only starting to pop but he loves it. :) He loves putting his hands on my tummy to feel the baby or put his ears to it to listen for the baby. He claims he's heard the baby kick. hehe Silly man.
I honestly feel he thinks everything about this is just amazing, as do I. And therefore loves every part about it.
Intimacy hasn't really been an issue. We're generally pretty sexual beings and pregnancy has put my sex drive on ...ahem....overdrive. :D
I'm not pregnant yet, but DH insists that pregnant women are hot. We'll see what he thinks when I actually get there. ;)
My husband tells me he's fine with it (we are not parents and not trying, so take this FWIW) and will still find me sexy as my body changes during and after but the things he likes sexually and physically don't pair well with pregnancy and I have a feeling he will really shut off. I'll be getting pity fucked. Sad.
Sometimes I wish intimacy was an issue right now! My husband couldn't get enough before and can't get enough now. I hate the belly, so him wanting to touch it all the time drives me crazy!
So weird that so many of you ladies said you DH/SO feels uncomfortable having sex.. I was the one who was weirded out by sex with the baby in there! DH was always trying to convince me everything is fine. Once the baby started kicking it got even more weird. We still try to have intimate time once a week, but if the baby kicks during, I can't continue. I become "turned-off" and I can't get into the sexy mindset if I feel him moving. It's just weird. So definitely not as often as we used to, though I try :)
Otherwise, my hubby is great about my body. He loves my belly so much and is always stroking it, putting his hand on it, feeling baby kick everyday. He is great about giving me massages anywhere I'm sore, kissing my belly etc. He is even so great about the stretch marks! I got them about two weeks ago and cried! He was so sensitive, and so supportive about it. I told him since I have to deal with stretch marks on my stomach for the rest of my life now, I should have full naming rights ;) he didn't fall for that one though, darn. lol
DH loves the baby bump and is always trying to get a rub in - we now have "belly time" at home before I go to bed.
As for sex, he's up for it, but I'm more "eh" - not in the mood and haven't figured out what position would be the most comfortable.
I'm relatively certain there is nothing that could happen to my body that would discourage my husband. If anything, I think pregnancy makes it worse, since my boobs have gotten so giant and out of control.
My husband is in the "pregnant women are hot" camp, but he is also afraid of "poking the baby" when I get pregnant, so we'll see which wins!
He's happy about it and it doesn't freak him out, but he's afraid to hurt me and the baby during sex. The last time, the baby stuck her feet under my hip bone and I was in unbelievable pain for about 15 minutes.

I talked to my DH tonight, and he told me that seeing me with a big belly kind of freaks him out! He doesn't really like to touch my stomach becuase of it. He doesn't know if its more of the fact that there is a person in there, or that my tummy got so big and fast! My dad was the same way. So I'm curious, is there anyone else who's SO is freaked out by pregnancy and your body during?
