    I wouldn't be too concerned at all
    It's quite common for both women and men (believe it or not!) to lose interest in some of the more intimate moments, there are so many variables in pregnancy!

    Being bigger, sleepier, more uncomfortable and those blessed hormones raging in all different directions makes it more undesirable for "special cuddles"

    Hubby actually became less interested as our last pregnancy progressed, but he insisted that I not be offended - he thought his hormones were perhaps emulating my motherly ones! (He also got a little sympathy morning sickness too!)

    Your feelings of desire will pick up again, as mentioned above a good rest would probably help
    Good luck!

    Thanks for all your responses... I'm glad I'm not alone. Anna you're probably right about being honest with DH... let's hope we both get lots of sleep and we can start to feel a bit normal again.

    Or as normal as one can be at 21wks!

    Oh goodness! I'm 18 weeks today and since finding out we were expecting (at about 4 weeks) we have DTD maybe 3 times at most I am totally uninterested and too tired, but the times we have dtd was sort of out of pity for DP Oh well!

    They say some women get more interested, but nah I am the same as you, I could take it or leave it most times. But most times I will initiate DTD just so that I know DH is satisfied. I also love the physical touch. I may not get the 'O' happening but I love the closeness its comforting to me and that is more important. I find though that I love my boobs and love showing them off to him and teasing him, that eventually gets me going.
    But as some of the other girls have said also. I have noticed DH not as keen for it as he used to me. Like I said I seem to be the one initiating it most times. I am not sure why but I am not worried it kind of takes the pressure of me a bit. but I wont let 3 days go past without some lovin. Like I said I love the physical touch, but its also important to me that he is satisfied!

    Make that three times . Puppies, I only ever do it at the moment to make sure DH is satisfied!

    Maybe this is TMI and needs to go to AO, but I get kinda annoyed when I say I am tired and not interested in bd, and so DH asks for *that* instead, as if that is less work. Hmmpf!
