DEAR DEIDRE: MY rounded stomach and enlarged breasts make me feel hornier than ever and whenever I’m pregnant, I can’t get enough of my boyfriend.
We’ve had three children in quick succession and I’m itching to get pregnant again but he is doing his best to avoid me in the bedroom.
At first he loved the fact I was insatiable. We went from having sex around twice a month to at least twice a day once those pregnancy hormones kicked in.
I’d never experienced anything like it and really enjoyed feeling so incredible. When I’m pregnant, all he needs to do is look at me and I’ll be tearing off his clothes.
Whenever I’m expecting, I make sure we have sex before we get out of bed in the morning – even a quickie will tide me over.
He used to say that my high sex drive makes him feel so good, invincible even.
He lapped up my higher libido when I was pregnant with our first, the second time he was happy enough to go along with my requests, but by my third pregnancy I could see he was flagging.
Whenever I hint that I like to start having ‘baby sex’ again, he looks horrified.
Every time I try to make a move on him, he either has a bad back, feels knackered, or he hops out of bed making up excuses that he can hear one of the children.
I’d love to have at least one more baby – to have those curves and sensitive nipples for a last time – but I’m getting the distinct impression he is avoiding it.
Last night I started stroking his back and he snapped at me saying my pregnant fetish was off putting.
After snarling that I needed to give it a rest he stropped off to the spare room.
I feel so rejected. Have I got a fetish? I never thought of it like that.
DEIDRE SAYS: It isn’t uncommon for women to have an increase in sexual desire when they are pregnant.
As you rightly say, it’s the increased levels of oestrogen and progesterone that are responsible for intensifying your sexual desire.
Pregnancy also brings an increase in blood flow, in particular to the pelvic area, which can accentuate arousal.
Add to that the physical changes that come with pregnancy, like engorged breasts and many women feel like they have a one track mind – full of sexual desires only.
Your boyfriend is avoiding intimacy with you and you don’t understand why. So it’s definitely time to talk to him about how he’s feeling.
He may be worried about having a fourth child from an energy level or financial perspective.
You have three young children already and it’s very common for couples to feel distanced from each other as they prioritise their children’s needs.
So make sure you are making quality time for each other – time to properly talk and find out what is going on in each other’s lives.
Fetishes might sound like an extreme label, but many people have them and a pregnancy fetish is common.
All it means is that you really enjoy sex while pregnant which is nothing to be ashamed of.
My support pack Kinks And Fetishes explains more.
Dear Deidre’s Pregnancy Problems
Deidre’s mailbag is bursting with pregnancy predicaments.
One woman is expecting a baby with her ex while still sleeping with her husband.
Another man got his girlfriend pregnant after a threesome and now wonders if the baby is even his.
And one reader fears she’s just a rebound after falling pregnant by a new boyfriend who still has feelings for the mother of his other child.
PREGNANCY AND DESIRE: A CLOSER LOOK
A pregnancy fetish — also known as maiesiophilia — involves sexual attraction to someone who is pregnant, or to the idea of pregnancy itself. Like many kinks, it varies widely from person to person.
For some, the appeal is physical: the shape of the body, fuller breasts, or the natural glow associated with pregnancy. For others, it’s more psychological — linked to ideas of fertility, vulnerability, or dominance and possession.
In heterosexual dynamics, it can be about impregnation — the act of “breeding” someone — which ties into power and fantasy. In other cases, the pregnancy itself is not the goal, but a symbol: of transformation, femininity, or taboo.
Pregnancy content is increasingly visible on adult platforms, and some performers cater specifically to this fetish — posting photos or videos while visibly pregnant, or roleplaying pregnancy scenarios using prosthetics.
Like many fetishes, it becomes problematic only when it crosses the line into non-consensual behaviour.
Fetishising a stranger’s pregnancy without consent — especially in public — can feel invasive or objectifying. It’s essential to approach these desires with empathy, boundaries and open communication.

STRICTLY Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has announced the sad news that her beloved grandfather has died.
The ballroom star, 36, who won the last series of the BBC competition with comedian Chris McCausland, shared the devastating news today.

Dianne took to her Instagram with recent clips of her reuniting with her granddad following her successful stint on the show.
In one heartwarming moment, Dianne surprised her grandad with a special visit in Australia.
The 99-year-old was chuffed to see his granddaughter and called her a “champion” after her Glitterball win, as they held hands and swung them side-to-side.
Sharing her heartbreak, Dianne wrote: “Rest in peace pop, you were 99 years young. Thank you for all the stories and I just know you will be up there dancing with Nan already.”
Dianne’s fellow Strictly pals were quick to share messages of support.
Nancy Xu wrote: ” Sending you all the love,” with a string of purple heart emojis.
Pro dancer Michelle Tsiak posted: “I’m so sorry for your loss Di. Sending you and your family all my love.”
Vito Coppola shared a red heart and prayer emoji in the comment section.
The sad loss comes just a weeks after Dianne’s grandmother died.
In March she shared a montage of clips with her late nan and wrote: “Rest in peace nan. Love you very much. I’m so grateful I was home to say goodbye to such a special lady in my life.
“Now go be with pop he has been patiently waiting for you.”
Dianne has been open about her family and their health battles – including her dad’s battle with cancer.
In April 2024, she shared the happy news that her father Mark has finished chemotherapy in Australia after 12 rounds of treatment.
She wrote at the time: “To my daddy you did it 6 months later and 12 rounds done.
“I am so so PROUD of you it’s been a tough road but you have always done it with a smile and a thumbs up. I know you were scared and I know it was not easy but you have done it.”
She continued: “I wish so much I could be there right now and just cuddle you,” she penned. “You’re my hero and you have made me realise we all have so much more strength then we think.
“And to my beautiful mum who has not left your side and been the best support system ever thank you. Us kids are so lucky to have you both we love you so much.
“Now we need to book that trip in back to UK for the both of you.”
Dianne first appeared on Dancing with the Stars in Australia in 2015. She then joined Strictly Come Dancing in the UK in 2017.

CASA Amor beauty Lauren Wood has already been part of the show this series, The Sun can reveal.
Lauren was one of this year’s guinea pig Islanders for Love Island’s ‘dry run’ in May and execs loved her so much, they cherry picked her to return.

The Casa girls were teased on yesterday’s episodeEroteme
It means she could quickly be deemed a “producer plant” by viewers.
Every year a group of stand-ins move into the villa before the real cast arrive to allow the crew to test camera angles, sound, and whether furniture and fittings are all ready for eight weeks’ work.
A source said: “Lauren was one of the dry run Islanders but bosses loved her so guaranteed her a slot in Casa Amor.
“Fans will feel like she’s going in there as a producer plant as she’s been specially chosen and has the added advantage of having been among crew, in the villa, and knows how everything works.
“Certainly it’ll help her feel a bit more comfortable and confident.
“There’s been other Islanders in the past who went from a dry runner to full cast.
2023’s winner Sanam Harrinanan was part of the dry run cast and then went all the way.”
Lauren’s slot in Casa was revealed by The Sun earlier, and she will join newbies including Lucy Quinn and Yasmin Broom in their quest to turn an OG boy’s head.
Also heading into the show for the infamous twist are Andrada Pop, Rheo Parnell and Harry’s ex-girlfriend, Emma Munro.
Viewers caught their first glimpse of the rival girls last night when, in a new twist, the Casa Amor women walked straight into the main villa whilst the OG girls were still in situ.
The Casa boys will be revealed tomorrow.
Lauren shows off her ripped figure in a series of lingerie snaps on her Instagram, while documenting lavish nights out in Manchester and holidays in Thailand.
She counts Chris Hughes and Chris Clark as friends, who are both Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson’s exes.
An ITV spokesman declined to comment.

HAVING recalled some 120,000 vehicles last week, a major car brand’s dealer network is now feeling the squeeze – having told drivers to stop using their vehicles immediately.
Several models are involved in the recall, which is related to faulty airbags that could prove lethal when deployed.
Several Citroen models have been affected by a major recallAlamyThese include the second-gen Citroen C3 and the Citroen DS 3, as well as the DS brand’s 3HandoutHandoutThis has meant chaos for the brand’s dealer network, who have become overwhelmed by the scale of the recall[/caption]
GettySome customers are being told to wait as long as January for a repair slot[/caption]
The chaos involves Citroen models, including the second-gen Citroen C3 supermini and Citroen DS3 – both sold between 2009 and 2016.
The more recently DS 3, sold between 2016 and 2019, is also flagged for a recall.
However, the sheer volume of vehicles being recalled has left many owners facing difficulties in getting their cars repaired, as the magnitude of the recall is placing significant strain on the Citroen dealer network.
According to the BBC, one DS3 owner said she’s “tried to get the car fixed, but as I didn’t get to know about the recall soon enough, the earliest it can be done is the end of July”.
Worse still, another revealed the soonest they’ve been able to secure a slot is January next year.
The sudden recall follows a fatal accident in Reims, France, last month, when a 37 year-old mother driving a Citroen C3 was struck in the head by pieces of flying metal after a minor collision.
The airbag, which relies on ammonium nitrate gas for rapid inflation, can degrade in hot and humid conditions, potentially causing violent explosions that propel shrapnel towards the driver.
This is part of a two-decade-long scandal involving the now-defunct Japanese manufacturer Takata, whose airbags were fitted by nearly all major car manufacturers worldwide.
It saw the French Transport Ministry order the manufacturer to conduct a recall, with Stellantis deciding to issue a stop-drive order in the UK too, to avoid any safety concerns.
The French Transport Ministry has also issued warnings for owners of Audis, BMWs, Fords, Nissans, Peugeots and even Ferraris – all due to fears over Takata airbags.
Citroen customers affected by the recall are due to receive a letter in the post outlining the next steps.
Stellantis have also listed which cars are affected, and also have a recall helpline (0800 917 9285) set up.
Naturally, the cost of any recall-related work will be covered by Stellantis.
Autoexpress believe the repair work should only take around two hours to complete – although it does mean trying to find a slot at one of dozens of authorised Citroen garages across the country.

DONALD Trump issued a bleak warning that Putin wants to “keep killing people” after Russia launched its largest-yet barrage of drones and missiles at Ukraine.
In a middle finger to the US, the onslaught hit just hours after Putin and Trump had a fruitless 60-minute phone call – which touched on the possibility of fresh American sanctions.

Dozens were injured when Russia pounded Ukraine’s capital KyivEast2WestAPPutin launched an onslaught against Ukraine hours after putting the phone down to Trump[/caption]
Trump fumed on Friday that he was “very unhappy” about the phone call with Putin and ensuing strikes.
He said: “[Putin] wants to go all the way, just keep killing people, it’s no good.”
Trump revealed the two leaders had spoken “a lot” about sanctions, adding: “He understands that it may be coming.”
The Kremlin said on Friday it was “preferable” to reach its goals of its invasion through political and diplomatic means – despite having just blitzed Ukraine with masses of explosives.
Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov continued: “But as long as that is not possible, we are continuing the special operation.”
Hours after hanging up on Thursday night, Vlad green-lighted the largest volley of missiles and drones since the start of the war.
Fires broke out in multiple locations as almost every district in the capital city was struck, according to Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv’s military administration.
Dozens of Ukrainians were injured as toxic smoke engulfed the city.
The Svyatoshynskyi and Solomanskyi districts were among the hardest hit, with blazes on rooftops and in courtyards.
Short on air defence systems, Ukraine could only down two of 11 missiles.
Another nine missiles – one Kinzhal [Dagger], two Iskander-K, and six Iskander-M – wreaked havoc in the city.
Trump also spoke to Ukraine’s President Zelensky on Friday – and their chat was much more productive.
The President said: “We talked about different things […] I think it was a very, very strategic call.”
Asked about resuming supplying Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, he said: “Yeah, we might.
“They’re going to need something because they’re being hit pretty hard.”
Zelensky said: “We spoke about opportunities in air defence and agreed that we will work together to strengthen protection of our skies.”
The US Defense Department earlier this week paused deliveries of several critical weapons systems – including Patriot missiles and precision-guided munitions.
Trump has insisted he wants to help Ukraine, but has has not imposed any new sanctions on Russia since taking office.
He also has not approved additional aid packages.

IRISH people are being warned about a new strain of Covid-19 as cases rise in the country.
The two new strains of the coronavirus, including a “super-contagious Frankenstein” variant, are rapidly spreading across Ireland and the United Kingdom.
The new Covid-19 strains are rapidly spreading across Ireland and the UKAlamy
The XFG variant, known as Stratus, is now the dominant strain in England, according to the data issued by the UK Health Security Agency.
And the strain now accounts for 10 per cent of weekly cases in Ireland, according to new data from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre.
The Health Protection Surveillance Centre recently reported 461 cases and 173 hospitalisations in the week up to June 28, both of which were the highest numbers of 2025 to date.
The new Stratus is understood to be more infectious than the previous Covid-19 strains due to mutations which help evade the immune system.
This can be seen in the UK Covid-19 cases, as it jumped from 10 per cent to almost 40 per cent three weeks later in the middle of June.
The new strain is a descendant of the already extremely virulent Omicron and is referred to as a “recombinant” or Frankenstein strain.
This indicates that it first appeared as a new hybrid variation after an individual contracted two Covid-19 strains simultaneously.
However, there is currently no evidence that Stratus causes more severe illness, and science shows that getting a Covid-19 vaccine is “very likely” to offer protection from severe illness and hospitalisation, according to Mr Young.
Speaking to the Mail Online, virologist Professor Lawrence Young from the University of Warwick said: “Given that immunity to Covid is waning in the population due to a decline in uptake of the spring booster jab and the reduction of Covid infections in recent months, more people will be susceptible to infection with XFG and XFG.3.”
“This could lead to a new wave of infection but it’s difficult to predict the extent of this wave.”
Last month, the World Health Organisation declared that the new strain is currently being monitored, which means that many health authorities globally have been asked to track the variant due to its increased spread.
SIGNS TO WATCH FOR
The symptoms of the variant are similar to other strains of the virus.
It includes shortness of breath, feeling ill or being sick, a loss or change to their smell or taste and a loss of appetite.
Some infections may show symptoms, such as nasal congestion, conjunctivitis, sore throat, headache, muscle or joint pain, skin rash, diarrhoea, chills, or dizziness.
If you are currently experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 and feeling unwell, you are urged to stay at home until 48 hours after your symptoms are mostly or fully gone.
Avoid contact with other people, especially people at higher risk from Covid-19.
People are urged to call 112 or 999 if they are very short of breath and cannot complete a sentence.

FIGHTING BACK the tears, Emma Raducanu said she will hold showdown talks with coach Mark Petchey about their future working arrangement.
But she claims she will head next month to New York – the scene of her greatest triumph – brimming with confidence she CAN match the world’s best.

ReutersRaducanu was respectably beaten by world No1 Aryna Sabalenka[/caption]
For those who had doubted whether the Brit would ever replicate the magical form she showed when lifting the US Open four years ago, this was a demonstration of her abilities.
Though she fell short, and was unable to capitalise on two clutch moments in set two, she earned widespread respect for slugging it out with the three-time Grand Slam champion on Centre Court.
Petchey, who joined her team on a part-time basis in March, has had a transformative impact on her form and demeanour but there is no guarantee that coaching gig will continue.
The former tennis player earns a decent living as a respected TV analyst but has to decide now whether to give that all up to sit in Raducanu’s box.
Raducanu said: “It’s very difficult. He obviously also has his commentating commitments.
“He agreed to help me until the end of Wimbledon and then we kind of see from there.
“Because he gave up some work to work with me here, which I really appreciate and I’m grateful for.

“That’s a conversation that we need to have after a few days and the dust settles a little bit.”
Clutching a tissue and sniffling constantly, Raducanu had slightly red eyes when she addressed the world’s media following her exit.
It has been an emotional summer for the Kent-based superstar, one in which she has faced security concerns and received “some pretty bad news” during her run in Eastbourne.
But as self-critical as she is about her own displays, she is proud of how she competed toe-for-toe with Sabalenka, 27, especially in a 74-minute opening set under a closed roof.
And that only bodes well for the hard-court swing in North America.
‘IT GIVES ME CONFIDENCE’
Raducanu – who will play the Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington later this month – said: “It’s hard to take a loss like that.
“It does give me confidence because I think the problem before was that I felt like I was gulfs away from the very top.
“Having a match like that where I had chances in both sets, it does give me confidence. At the same time, it’s very difficult to take right now.
“It gives me confidence that I’m not as far away as I perhaps thought before the tournament.
“Before when I was playing those top-five players, it was pretty convincing, the loss.
‘IT’S A BIT OF A LEVELLER’
“I feel like grass for me is a great surface. It’s a bit of a leveller in that sense.
“Taking it onto a different surface where it’s a lot more lively in America is another challenge in itself.
“There’s still a lot of things that I want to do better, a lot of things I want to improve to solidify my game, so that in the big moments I can back myself a little bit more.
“I don’t think I’ve really had a loss like this in a long time, where I feel like I maybe had chances and didn’t take them. Usually I’m pretty good at converting.
“In the big moments, Aryna was able to convert. She was able to hit some incredible shots.
“I just need to keep working and get back to the drawing board and improve a lot more.”
