Im pregnant and staying at my mom's place for now. She's gotten very strict and overprotective and thinks intimacy isnt safe at all. Doc said its fine in my case but how do i even talk to her about this without it getting awkward?
Aww, just pamper her first with a nice back massage and some delicious food! Pregnancy fatigue is real, so make her feel relaxed and loved. Once she feels pampered and comfortable, things will naturally get better! 😊
The pregnancy apps have some great articles on intimacy during pregnancy! It is totally normal for her libido to drop because of hormonal shifts and fatigue. Talk to her gently, ask what she is comfortable with, and never force her.
Honestly, instead of focusing on physical intimacy right now, think about all the expenses coming up for delivery and medical checkups! Pregnancy can be super tiring and stressful for her, so try helping her with chores or planning things instead of pressuring her. That will actually make her feel more loved and relaxed.
Intimacy during this time can make many women nervous about the baby's safety. My husband and I talked about this very gently, and he always put my comfort first. Please don't force or pressure her, just talk to her lovingly and respect her feelings.
