i feel bad for my husband?
i'm 34 weeks and i have been put on complete bed rest until the baby is born. which means i am not allowed to have sex. i know this is best for my baby and i know my husband understands,but i just feel bad for him. and then, i cant really have sex after the baby is born for 6 weeks, so thats 12 weeks without having sex. it pretty much sucks. i just feel bad for my husband. i also feel bad for my two year old son because i cant really be there for him like i used to be. how can i make my husband...and ME, feel better about this?

i was on bed rest from 17 weeks on.. so that means my husband and i didn't have sex for like... ever.. (well until they took my cerclage out).... but instead of having sex, we laid together naked in bed at night, and he held my belly and felt the baby kick and it was a really intament time for us both, we would kiss and tell eachother we love each other every day.. at night i would caress his hair while he fell asleep..
then after the 6 weeks, it was on.. we both were wanting the sex, it was like we just BURST ;)

Actually, I think your husband is fortunate that he has a job to go to and get out of the house for a while -- I'm sure things aren't easy for him what with a large family to support, but at least he gets to take a break and find some communication with other adults. Although I think that's very sweet and admirable that you're so concerned about him, it sounds like you have enough on your plate without that added worry. Just let him know that you love and appreciate him and are concerned for his well-being...I'm sure that will mean more to him than anything. Maybe you could even write him a letter or a poem telling him how you feel.

Just think of what you are going through to bring that new member into your family... I know how you feel... I have been on the "no sex diet" for months now... and my husband acts like a baby about it.... If your husband is supportive you are lucky... I too understand about not being able to do so much for your son... I am on partial bedrest... and my boys are really missing some of the things we used to do... Just hang in there ... we are almost there... ♥

Uhm....penetration isn't the only form of sex. You can do other things to please him. And trust me, while sex is vital to a man, 12 weeks without won't kill him. LOL...Just use your imagination and have some fun in other ways.
As for you feeling better about this....well, the life inside you is a part of you both. The important thing is to bring a healthy baby into the world. You have the rest of your life to make your husband 'happy'. And like I said, there are other ways to have fun.

u you can just try to give him a message in bed, pregnancy wont last forever so just look forward to after the baby is born and the 6 weeks and make sure u cater to your husband for at least one night, get a babysitter and do "WHAT U NEED TO DO" to make him feel like a man again. CONGRATS AND GOD BLESS U AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

girl, that's only about 12 weeks. me and my boyfriend haven't had sex since i left his country at 11 weeks and now i'm 32 weeks imagine that. and also, some women are put on bedrest and can't have sex since their early stage of pregnancy until they give birth cuz they have high risk pregnancy. can't you even do alternative ways to spice up your relationship? think about it, it's gonna be very exciting once you are already allowed to have it. as for your son, let your husband have bonding moments with him. it's ok, it's just 12 weeks not 12 months.

I am sure your husband does not mind at all. It is one thing he can do without complaining to assist you in having a healthy child.
And I disagree with the "oral" advice... if you are going without then so should he!!! Make it fun.
My hubby and I had 3 months of NO-SEX and although he used to say he was dying - lol - we still make jokes about our time of abstinence now... it turned out quite a bonding thing to do!.

you can do things to your husband in the "oral" department.. and for your son, just talk to him and tell him.. mommy has to stay in bed..
