Pregnancy is a special stage in a woman's life, which makes her almost a completely different person. After pregnancy, women feel a sense of pride and pride psychologically. Pregnancy further reflects the value of women and demonstrates their unique contribution. Indeed, the fulfillment of reproductive function is a sign of physiological soundness, not only the highest symbol of love, but also the highest creative act, the most pleasing of all behaviors. Women entering pregnancy experience the mysterious process of life giving birth with their entire body and mind.
She almost poured all her emotions and energy into the little life that was gradually maturing in her womb. The slowly wriggling little life mysteriously brought the pregnant woman into a magical fantasy world. Pregnant women participate and experience mystery throughout their entire pregnancy. However, the participation and experience of each pregnant woman are different, with some pregnant women experiencing more consciously and strongly, while others are in a state of less conscious participation and experience. Women may also experience empathy during pregnancy. Empathy here refers to the transfer of most of a woman's emotions from her husband to her child during pregnancy and postpartum period.
When a woman has a new life in her womb, she involuntarily pours most of her emotions into that life. Although she still relies on her husband at this time, even more than before, she just hopes to get the emotional care she needs from her husband, but she pours all the emotional care she needs into her new life. That is to say, its emotional center is with the fetus, not with the husband. The phenomenon of empathy continues to persist and tends to strengthen after childbirth, causing husbands to feel alienated and neglected, which can affect marital relationships over time. Pregnant women have varying degrees of sexual distancing. Women who enter pregnancy feel an increase in sexual excitement from the beginning of pregnancy.
However, what confuses many men is that although women experience increased sexual excitement during pregnancy, they do not show a practical positive attitude towards sexual activity. There are two main reasons for this phenomenon: firstly, pregnant women are afraid that having sex with their husbands will harm the fetus, so they try to control their sexual excitement. Pregnant women's aversion to sexual activity can arise from their own past miscarriage experiences or from the miscarriage experiences of others. Unless a woman has no intention of retaining an intra-abdominal fetus, she cannot ignore the possibility of miscarriage. When the fear of miscarriage overwhelms sexual desire, pregnant women try to avoid actual sexual activity. When a pregnant woman's motivation or "hardship" to avoid sexual activity is not understood by her husband, she may gradually weaken her sexual desire, making the sexual life of the couple more disharmonious.
The second reason is that pregnant women are afraid that their body shape cannot arouse their husband's sexual excitement. Although women are proud of their physical changes during pregnancy, they are afraid that others, especially their husbands, may not like their bodies. Some husbands may unintentionally show ridicule towards their wives' physical appearance, which further wounds the self-esteem of pregnant women and makes them lack the confidence to easily engage in sexual life. Over time, they will suppress their sexual desires and show a distant or indifferent attitude towards actual sexual life. Actually, this is a misunderstanding of men. A man often feels beautiful about his wife's body during pregnancy, at least not unsightly, less disgusted, and does not affect their sexual interest in her. The view that sexual activity is affected by physical changes after pregnancy is entirely the result of a woman's increased self-esteem during pregnancy. This view may come from the viewpoint that men value women's physical form that pregnant women heard before pregnancy. However, pregnant women without the aforementioned psychological burden still account for the majority, as they experience increased sexual excitement and a strong desire to meet sexual demands.
