7 Reasons Why Me & My Husband Decided To 'Stay Off' Each Other During Pregnancy

We know how the horny nights fizzle out once you get that bump. Oh, but didn’t we hear you say your erotic drama eclipses 50 Shades Of Grey? How could that dwindle? But hello, we are preggos! Allergic to touch, allergic to smell, and of course, we go bananas about anything. And we perfectly understand why you might no longer be so artful. We anticipate these could be some of the excuses you used to ward off your husband when he wants some action:

1. We Think You Are Smelly…Honestly We Are Top-Notch Sniffers

Our heightened sense of smell can put the best sniffer dogs to shame. Seriously, the FBI might want to employ us now. He washed his socks yesterday, but you can still smell the odor from the shoe-rack. And the garlic, don’t even get started on that. Despite his regular baths, his skin pores are infused with that pungent garlic he ate almost ten days ago. Forget about mounting you! That’s something too proximal for an odor sufferer!

2. We Might Explode Anytime. So Stay Away

He uploads a life in you, and he wants you to download it as though you are a high-speed internet connection. We want him to lug a life in his belly to know this is how we feel. He will be counting the days to get that thing out. And let him get one thing straight – pushing it out isn’t easy. He must be grateful we are there to do it for him. And if he wanted to show his gratitude, ask him to do a favor by not trying to weigh you down with his 154lbs body.

3. Don’t Bend It Like Beckham

Hot-to-trot? That’s not us now – even if the alarm turns on. It only means trying different positions is just a distant dream. Baby, we are not flexible jelly, we are hard pumpkins. And we are ultra-sluggish. (Don’t blame us. Blame our rising progesterone levels). So he dare not impose his manliness on you this time around, especially when your legs can’t do hairpin bends.

4. Honey, I Shrunk My Days. (Translates To Don’t Wake Me Up)

Once the queen of the night; you love falling asleep early these days. Sometimes you forget to announce your newly programmed bedtime. Ask your husband not to get perplexed to find you curled or snuggled in the bed – perhaps with your back to him. And clearly you didn’t wait for him, let alone coquettishly invite him in there. Advise him that it’s only a phase that will pass. Train him to take it in his stride.

5. We Don’t Love Freckles

Pigments and freckles have become the highlights of our bodies as pregnant women. You don’t want him to see the prettily speckled frog croaking ‘No’ all the time. The catch here is – We don’t feel beautiful. So stay away for some time.

6. Ouch, Don’t Induce Premature Labor

Didn’t your man know that some women are prone to premature labor – that is if he mates with you during advanced pregnancy? The semen contains a hormone called Prostaglandin that can stimulate the cervix and start contractions. Do it only if you think your baby is fully-grown ;) May be we have just given you a ploy for the next excuse ;) but take it.

7. We Have A Witness

So you want to have your private affair become more private. Well, then that’s least likely. Is someone getting a whiff of some profanity there? If you are getting conscious with the little bun inside you, you have every reason to tell your husband so.

Here were few reasons why super preggos don’t love to have sex with their husbands during pregnancy. Although medical sciences approve of having sex during pregnancy (it is quite safe provided you follow few rules), some women are more put off than the rest of the herd during this time. Interestingly the estrogen levels and gushing blood that can excite them can also make few slow down a bit. As we may have it, all women are different. But we would love to see if you have a story to share.
