Q: Pregnant And Depressed
asked by: kayleesosa on June 25th, 2004

Okay, my husband who is only 24 makes me feel depressed because he seems like he is not in love with me anymore. Im 19 and we have only been married for about 3 months. I am 7 months pregnant with our first baby and I think that I look pretty damn good compred to most pregnant girls so what is wrong with him? Why does he never want to kiss or hug me? I always have to start anything sexual between the two of us and im sick of it. Even then he almost pushes me away from him! I don't get it! Im not fat, ugly, full of stretch marks or anything! Please I especially need some guy advise!!! Frustrated and depressed, kaylee
p.S. I hope someone writes back!!!!!! Sad

Hello
Hello,
firstly let ,me say,calm down!!! This undue stress is not going to do you or the baby any good.You need to stay as calm as you possibly can.
I dont know you and I dont know your husband.But it sounds like you two have a lck of communication going on.You need to sit down with your husband and tell him exactly how you are feeling.Being pregnant can make your hormones go all over the place and start thinking all sorts of things.He may not feel like being very sexual at the moment as he may feel a little worried about causing harm to the baby.Some men feel a bit strange when their partner is pregnant.(thats men for you) I think if you both approach this maturely and talk to one and other about how you are feeling you will see that there isnt anything to worry about.
Hope all goes well.Take care

I agree with amazing stars advice here. Chill out a little and talk to your husband. Communication is the key as his reasons for paying less attention to you may have nothing to do with you! Could be he's scared of being a father and stressing out himself or a million other things that have nothing to do with how he feels about you.
You also said he's making you feel depressed. I have learned that no one outside of ourselves can make us depressed; it's how we think about what is going on that makes us depressed. For example, you think he's pushing you away and not interested in sex because of your appearance and it may have nothing to do with your appearance. Those are your thoughts! For all you know his mother or father told him not to have sex once his wife is showing because it may damage the baby. I know this sounds rediculous but there are a million old wives tales out there just like this one and you never know who heard them and believe them especially if they heard it when they were really young. Chill out and talk to him. I think you will be fine.
