i feel withdrawn...especially from my baby's father...

i feel withdrawn...especially from my baby's father...

hi, i'm almost 8 weeks pregnant and i feel down and alone right now even with tons of support around me. the person who supports me the most, my fiance and baby-daddy, has hurt feelings because i don't seem to want to be touched too much or hugged on or in a good mood ever. sex usually sounds disgusting to me right now but occasionally i try to do it anyway so he feels better. i just wonder if this is normal, like will i be like this the whole time? i miss feeling close to my best friend and love of my life, i wish i could make things normal with him again. any advice?

Talk to him about your feelings. For my entire pregnancy I was not in to sex much. I told my partner how I was feeling and asked him how he felt about things. I would have sex with him occassionally even if I didn't want to. I did make it a point to ask him to cuddle with me, and I made it a point to touch him physically - like giving massages, washing his back for him in the shower, etc. Being intimate doesn't always have to be sex.
