No sex drive...

[Babydoll_Perez]

Hi I'm sorry to ask this question it has just been a problem since I got pregnant. Prior to my pregnancy my husband and myself had a healthy sex life but it seems that ever since I became pregnant I have little to no sex drive. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if they had any suggestions on how to remedy this? I have also noticed that I have completely lost interest in everyday things that I do around my house .. like cleaning which I uses to do all the time.

I'm 28 weeks and my sex drive has went down hill. Before my husband and I would have sex at least everyday sometimes twice a day, now it's a hassle to get me in the mood. I love him so much that I just do it any way with the lights off so he can't tell lm faking it so he can hurry up and finish lol.

When it comes to cleaning, lm OCD when it comes to that but now that lm pregnant lv been slacking and thank God my hubby has been picking up the slack.

I guess that's totally normal am 21 weeks preg and I feel tired all the time I used to be OCD with cleaning now am just like whatever I feel tired all the time, I don't enjoy cleaning but I don't feel depress I guess expecting a baby takes a lot of energy in my case am having twins so it harder for me so I hire a cleaning lady for once a week and day by day I do a little by little you will be ok

Ughhh I have zero sex drive I feel bad for my hubby we used to be every nighters now its like once a week... He understands though. He and I did it back in the first trimester when I was about 8 weeks and I started bleedin and it scared the hell out of me! Ever since then its a mix of nervousness and hormones. I have a cervical issue as well though I have an ultra sound every 4 weeks or so to make sure my cervix is staying closed and is still ling enough and I dont think that helps my sex issue! Ive been told though once the baby is born and you get into a good routine the somewhat normal sex life will return!

Consider the depression thing. You don't necessarily have to feel depressed to be depressed. I felt normal, just angry. Then I started getting upset about everything and finally gave in and told my doctor. Went on the meds and I'm fine. I'm still angry a lot but that's pretty much just my general mood bc I hate dealing with other humans lol.

The sex drive can vary from woman to woman. With my first, I wanted to do it all the time and my then bf would not give it up to save our lives. We literally had sex once my entire pregnancy. But I'd masturbate 1-5 times a day lol. With this pregnancy, I want nothing to do with sex. But I didn't have a high sex drive before I got pregnant this time anyway.

And about the cleaning. I can't really help you there. I hate cleaning. I only do it bc I kind of have to you know lol

Wait till you hit your third trimester, especially last month or so. Lol it gets crazy then. At first I hated it too. About the cleaning I was same way but now all I want to do is get ready for the big cleaning, cooking everything

With my 1st pregnancy I had the same sex drive, with my second it got pretty low. This time I really want to do it but I'm on pelvic rest so I'm not allowed to do anything till I turn 36wks which is on Friday. I've had two premies so hoping to make it to 37wks. Kinda hope my sex drive stays the same after though lol cuz now that I want it I can't have it.

It's totally normal. I lost sex drive all first trimester out of no where I craved it like crazy! Now it's all I think about! I'll be 35 weeks Thursday and I have to force myself to clean I thought I'd be in my nesting faze by now but nope I literally use it clean more before I was pregnant drives me insane lol

[kaychristiansen3]

I use to clean and all that before I got pregnant too.personally I think it's due to pregnancy for me, I'm not depressed or that.
Anyway about the sex drive it has happened to me too. I sometimes have a high sex drive for a couple days than I swear it goes away for a month or so. Pregnancy I tell you. Lol

Hi. Yes pregnancy can have an affect on your sexdrive.I have none at all at the moment.
And regarding losing interest in everything, you sound depressed. I know how you feel, as I struggle with it myself and am on meds.
Talk to your Dr about it, he/she can then recommend a good psychologist and/or psychiatrist.
It is important that you get help. You have to take care of yourself to be able to take care of your baby properly. Your mood does also effect your unborn baby.
Good luck and God bless.
