Soph and bump. xx xx Reply to this Question

 Oh God yes this is completely normal. It didnt matter waht I said to my hubby he felt *odd* about having sex with *baby* around (as it were). Can't really offer you any advice except get him to speak to one of your health care professionals and see if they can reassure him.
Good luck with the delivery and everything.x

It will make your hubby feel more at ease when he hears it coming from the doc himself. Yes it is normal for a first time or even an anytime daddy to be scared to have sex with his expecting wife when she starts to show for fear of hurting the baby. Have your husband spoon you in bed, give you back rubs, wash your back for you in the tub, lotion you up for closeness if he is not comfy with intercourse with you. There is also oral sex. This is a good time for the two of you to bond and enjoy the time you have together before the baby comes so enjoy.
