No sex drive in pregnancy

[diannescruffy]

Sounds pretty normal, I know it's frustrating and you want DH to be happy but he also needs to understand how you are feeling. I've got 4 kids and am not pregnant, no sex drive, when it comes to the evening I just want to sleep.

Regards,
Dianne

Thanks guys, Its just so frustrating. I must say though Hubby has been fantastic and so understanding, but it still gets me down knowing how he feels in this all
And yes Im the same, come bed time at night after running after 4 children and all I wanna do is sleep as well.
I guess whats more annoying is they say if your pregnant with a boy (which I am) then your drive is supposed to have you swinging off ceiling fan just about with all that extra testosterone in your body. Im guessing though thats just a myth, and if it is true its dependent on your hormones anyway. Who knows - the trials and tribulations of pregnancy I guess ...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has suffered a serious lack of sex drive.
I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant with my first and thats the last thing on my mind, the last month or so I haven't wanted it at all.

My sex drive went down early on because I had horrible morning sickness. (it should be called all day sickness!!), but then returned to normal. Now, its lower than its ever been.

My partner has been awesome through the whole thing, which helps.

But again, I'm so glad that there's others that feel like me!!

Last pg, I had a boy and my sex drive was sky high, this pg, also pg with a boy it's non existent! So it must be a wives tale! Well in my case it is anyway!

Yes hormones are something else arent they?!?!?
I think they need an on off button that we can access somehow.

I couldn't DTD for months when i was pregnant. I had the worst MS i couldnt stop throwing up long enough to even do anything and then there was the incident of throwing up on him while we were mucking around.... so we maybe did it maybe 5 times the whole time i was pregnant..

I wouldn't worry too much as im sure like me after the babys born you will have the highest sex drive LOL

Having no sex drive is normal as hormones can make things very strange indeed. Also areas down there are more sensitive because of the blood flow and sometimes things that used to feel good feel awful!
I know that my "woohoo" feels really strange at the present moment. Sensitive to touch and sometimes sore for no reason.

My Sex Drive is pretty non-existant (i'm having a Boy) but I am also finding that DH's Sex Drive is also non existant. I think being kicked in the guts by your unborn baby when your mid stride is a really big turn off for him (that's happened on more than one occasion!) I think also the positioning has to be different when pregnant which can throw a spanner in the works. I'm too big to be underneath which is where I prefer and I feel weird being ontop as I think that I am crushing him

So to sum up, its perfectly normal to feel the way you feel!

I'm feeling exactly the same way. I've found the couple of times we've DTD that it feels weird and I find it off-putting, not enjoyable. I'm also finding I'm ready for sleep by about 8pm, which doesn't help...
