    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...

    Same, no sex drive at all. I am 23 weeks and all I want to do is sleep all the time.
    It's ok at the moment as DH is working really long hours and is too tired himself...

    22 weeks here (first baby) and my sex drive has been non existant for pretty much the whole pregnancy. I've had a couple of moments, but nothing much. Thing is, DH has a super high sex drive and isn't so quiet about his urges hes not particularly understanding and it has led to tears on my part on more than one occasion!

    Even me almost throwing up on him when I had ms (and I agree, it should be called all day sickness!) only very temporarily dampened his interest!

    Tbh I think it's perfectly normal.

    I completely lost my sex drive in my last pregnancy, and tbh I only got it back recently. It's hard when sex is such a pivotal part of a relationship but you need to explain to him how you feel and that it is a hormonal thing and not a reflection of your love for him.
