Your partner may have similar feelings. It s normal for both of you to feel like this. Your first pregnancy is a very important event. It will change your life and change can be frightening even if it s something you ve been looking forward to. Money problems may be nagging at you the loss of an income for a while, extra expenses for the baby and, if your partner returns to work, the cost of childcare.
Some men feel left out.
Your loneliness may be increased if your partner doesn t want to make love, although some women find sex more enjoyable than ever. It varies from person to person. If she s not interested in sex, try to find other ways of being close, but do talk about it. Some men find it hard to make love during pregnancy. They feel strange doing it with someone else there or may find their partner s changing shape disturbing.
