Improving intimacy during pregnancy

During pregnancy my relationship started to lack intimacy the bigger I got! I felt big and disgusting so I was to insecure to even try to start something with my man!

I felt he did not want to cuddle or touch me because my hormones were all over the place! I constantly cried and vented to my partner because I felt so lonely!

Nobody told me during pregnancy how lonely I would feel and how much I would just want to cuddle I couldn’t ! I got to big, sick, uncomfortable so easily, and can only lay on your side!

My man and I finally sat down and had a conversation on how he can help me feel the love and affection I needed! We worked on our communication, lol emotional, and physical connection! We started doing date nights even if we stayed at home! We stayed up with eachother and talked all night like we did when we first started dating! He rubbed my feet and found ways to cuddle with me little bits of time even until we got uncomfortable!

He didn’t want to hurt me during intimate moments but we put in the work and we did research on what could be most comfortable for me! We tried different positions and more foreplay!! Fore play was everything!!
