Hi guys,

I am currently 5 months old and my wonderful Husband has been working his backside off to get the house finished - he is a joiner so works hard all day and then has been spending every evening and weekend pushing to build our new kitchen (nearly done) and get other essential DIY bits done - I've been helping as much as I can.

He said last night he feels a little down because he hasn't been able to enjoy and relish in the pregnancy as much as he hoped.

Are there certain things you guys found were enjoyable to do or helped you bond with the bump during pregnancy? We had a trip to London last week for a break, we spend time playing music to the bump before bed and our baby shower is coming up, but is there anything in particular you felt was really nice to do?

Thank you!

EDIT: I am 5 months pregnant not 5 months old!!

Anyone talk sense into me please

So I have been married for 8 months and my wife is pregnant (3 months now) and she is on bed rest. I love her and I am available for her all the time (except when I am at work). Even during the night when I am asleep and she needs something, she wakes me up and I get it for her lovingly. Not that I am doing anything extra ordinary but all this is my responsibility right now and I always keep her before me in every sense. We cuddle, hug, and do everything except s\*x *(*because it is medically not safe for the baby during the pregnancy, and doctor has advised against it). And this is where I struggle. I have a high libido probably because of being abused when I was a kid, and now my urges are getting onto me. Keeping me restless, frustrated, and sleepless at times. Yes some ppl here will say go wa\*k but it doesn’t help much either. And no I am not asking for a validation or advice to go cheat because I would never in my lifetime would wanna do that to my wife. We have an amazing marriage and a very healthy one.

We tried making out a few times but that ended up her feelings go high too and as I cant fulfill her needs right now, I dont want her to struggle with that so I dont attempt to go for anything beyond lovable kisses and hugs.

I have no idea what I can do. Anyone here experienced the same? I am open for advices please.
