My only advice I can give you is to just have patience with her and give her all the support you can. The first few months of my pregnancy I didn't want to be touch by my husband . I felt so bad for him but I just couldn't let him touch me. I promise it gets better over the months.

Remember that it's all hormones. Try not to take offense to it, and see if you can't both compromise. My husband and I have do the deed atleast once a week and make sure we are doing other things as well. For us, taking showers together helped because I was often uncomfortable and nauseous.

As above, for some women pregnancy kills the sex drive. It's important you realize you're not the only one suffering due to this. My husband didn't Handel it well when this happened to me, hurting our marriage leading to a great deal of pressure on me. This just made my sex drive twords him plumet even more to the point I hated every second of sex and every touch. Just remember it's due to hormones that are out of her control it's not her fault and make sure you talk about it.

Many women lose their sex drive during pregnancy. It just makes you so tired all the time and bothered by the symptoms, plus it's hard to feel attractive. Its definately a time where men have to put in a little extra work and think outside the box. This is my 5th baby my husband and I have been together 15yrs so we communicate well. We have sex 4-6 times a week but he knows I can't always be into it, and I know I can't always deny him. We have a mutual understanding where sometimes it's a quickie just to do the deed and relieve the build up.

This is my 4th baby unfortunately I've never found sex to be very uncomfortable during my pregnancy. Just try an ne understanding to how she feels an maybe she will come around. But it is very common to lose sex drive while pregnant. Maybe try to do a date night just the two of u an go to a movie  or go out to eat. Try an remember u can have intamacie without sex also.

Just be patient with her it will come when she's ready it's just hard we have a lot going on right now hormone wise baby wise taking everything in our bodies are changing in ways we never thought not to mention where exhausted physically mentally also just genuinely being supportive and physically being there for her is one of the sexiest things a man can do while we go through this and may open the door to that sexual attention you are needing
