My Husband and I have been married for only a little over a month, we have been together for a year. I am five months pregnant and have lost all sexual desire. Before I got pregnant we did it like rabbits and I loved it. But now just the thought of him touching me grosses me out and I feel bad, I love him very much. and feel guilty because I haven't had sex with him since our honeymoon over a month ago and even then I cried cause I didn't want to. I don't even like him to kiss me. Is something wrong with me? What can I do to make this better without feeling awful myself. I don't want him to feel neglected. HELP!!!!
