Next to no sex drive..

Hey gorgeous mummies.. I'm currently 18wks today and since I found out I was pregnant I've had no interest in sex whatsoever.. I just wanted to know if anyone else has been the same? My partner understands somewhat, but is becoming increasingly frustrated with me and will often ask if I'm sleeping with someone else..

I was same way! I could care less about sex. My husband would want it and I would just hope he would forget by me doing something else like dishes or something to stall time. When we did do it I couldn't wait for it to be over. Now though I am 22 weeks and the last week or 2 maybe have been different I want it all the time. Well like every other day at least.

Is ur fella guilt tripping u? I Google it myself as goin through the same, an it said on every site about a lacking libido being normal in pregnancy. Seems to me that when speaking to real people only a few still do it normally never mind more often. Your perfectly normal :)

My libido tanked due to morning sickness & hormones for first 17 weeks.  It came back at 18 weeks though.  We're both much happier now but DH was very patient.  He did say it was difficult for him though.  If I reached for his hand he would pull back at first but we eased back into things!

Thanks ladies, makes me feel not so abnormal now. My partner understands but is quite frustrated with me to the point that he even googled my lack of interest only to have good ol Google tell him that my sex drive should be through the roof, needless to say I felt quite inadequate when he informed me. Fingers crossed it returns when bub us born.. Best of luck to everyone!

I know exactly were your coming from , I hate when my babydaddy tells me if I have a Sancho that I'm getting it from lol, I swear men say the dumbest things sometimes.  Haha but on my part I lost intrest cause of my belly and cramps but I sometimes give in when I know he's been good and patient.
