My husband is scared to have s*x with me while am pregnant?

Question

My husband is nervous about having s*x with me while I am pregnant. I am only about 17 weeks and he says that when he lays on top of me he feels like hes crushing the baby. I told him that its not paining me but he says that just because its not hurting me doesnt mean its not hurting the baby and I always tell him that the baby is well cushioned and right now am to early for it to be a problem. I still sleep on my stomach sometimes and not only is the baby bump very visible but my stomach is still big from previous kids I have had so I feel more so that the fat there is even more cushioning. He doesnt lay against my stomach often so its not an often thing but in the heat of the moment when he has he gets nervous and says hes crushing the baby. I dont want him to feel bad and keep trying to soothe his mind but I told him we can do other positions if that will make him more comfortable but how can I convince him that the baby is fine.

Answer 1

Honestly, if you can't convince him, none of us will be able to, but you're right.  It's perfectly safe.  I suggest you have your ob/gyn reassure him, and/or try different positions.  Congratulations.  :)

Answer 2

you could try other positions.

Answer 3

tell him to look at everybody else in this world they havnt been crushed they're still in one piece,no guts hanging out, not flat like a pan cake, hey some of them are even too plumped  , you dont have to put it on hold. lol  how old is he

Answer 4

s*x while you are pregnant is healthy for you. Tell your doc to tell your man that it perfectly fine or tell your man to look it up

Answer 5

i think you should cheack with your dr or use different position, should be fun. congrace

Answer 6

Take him with you when you go to the Dr. The Dr. will assure him that it is perfectly safe.

Answer 7

At 17 weeks its probably the size of your fist, tell him to relax.  Otherwise get on top, he shouldn't have any complaints!

Answer 8

all this talk Is getting me hot and horny. Its perfectly safe, take your hussie to the gyn to make him a firm believer.

Answer 9

Wow... well at least he is concerned but maybe you should ask the OBGYN while he is at the appointment with you so he would be assured. Even after that he still may be scared but try another position when having s*x.......Good Luck

Answer 10

Take him along to your next OB appt and let him ask the dr. There are probably other things he'd like to know and this would be a good time to involve him in the whole process.

Answer 11

well, my husband is the complete opposite. he was a little rough, it was like he totally forgot i was pregnant! maybe next time yall should do woman on top
