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!
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.
Aww you guys are so awesome.
Its so great to hear that others are also going through this. I think what bites more is our drive is basically also based on our emotions (which are usually all over the place in pregnancy) whereas our mens drive are a physical thing. (Lol I cant think of the right word so thing will do)
I can relate on so many levels with you ladies (except the "all day or ms" sickness). Im lucky I dont have that. But I too am ready for bed by 8, and because I cant sleep on my stomach anymore i have to sleep on my side which leave my hips aching all day long. Not to mention the groin constantly aching (that I think I should probably get checked by doc or midwife) and so on. Im not sure if I have ever moaned this much in my life until this this pregnancy.
Hopefully things pick up soon for us all!!!
