During my first pregnancy my sex drive was like a roller coaster. One week ill have zero drive and the next ill be a raging bull LOL its completely normal, just let your partner know whats going on so he doesnt feel left out.

I'm the same! I'm normally the one who makes the first move but recently I have completely lost it! I'm so tired that all I want to do is sleep! It's had the opposite effect on hubby - typical!!

I feel ya!! I've had random days where I've wanted it, but other than that my sex drive is inexistent. My husband is always revved and ready to go so I feel bad that he isn't getting his. But he has been really understanding like your man has been. I'm at the end of pregnancy and we tried having sex a few days ago... Yeah it was awful. Haha I hope we get our mojo back!!

I know exactly how you feel. I'm 33 weeks and still have no sex drive. My man gets mad but also understands how uncomfortable I am.

When I was pregnant with my son, my see drive was through the roof. My husband had to tell me no multiple times. With this pregnancy I have been in the mood twice, I'm 27 weeks along. I just don't want sex at all. My husband was not understanding at first and thought that I didn't want him anymore until I explained that I didn't want sex at all, that nothing about it was appealing at all.

Congratulations, i'm a ftm too and will be 15 weeks tomorrow! I have zero sex drive aswell. I was told that somewhere in the 2nd trimester or 3rd trimester, we'll get our sex drives back.

My sex drive has diminished and I'm not as moist down there so it makes it sort of uncomfortable and I'm only 7 weeks.. This past weekend wasn't as bad and I actually enjoyed it a lot more than previous weeks.. I say take your time that's what I think has helped and more foreplay.. My man is understanding too...I mean hey we have to go through so much a little less nooky is only a small sacrifice lol

Absolutely true @ babyboo32. We definitely have to include our hubbies.  Its just so hard for me to fake it..and God bless my man because he is sooooo understanding and gentle and patient with me. TMI ALERT: last night he went down town to pleasure me and out of nowhere i just bust out laughing and then told him to just stop what he was doing. Smh i got bored and all i could think was damn i really just wana go to sleep right now...which in turn made me laugh. Anyway i told him to just do me real quick and get it over with. I know i sound horrible but this pregnancy business is real maaan....*sigh* i just want to have my baby already! ♡

Yeah that really ***** & I know how you feel. Zero sex drive during my 1st pregnancy & zero sex drive during this pregnancy too. & some women's drive accelerate when they're pregnant! What I do is have sex with my husband anyways. I encourage him in the fact that my sex drive is great when I'm not pregnant, so if this is as bad as it gets, hey, were actually doing pretty good :-) If I'm feeling miserable, which I Really did during my 1st trimester, I just encourage him to finish quickly rather than be concerned about pleasuring me. Tmi I'm sure, but mommy's can't forget to take care of their hubby just because babies come along. & let's face it, we're not superheroes, we have our limits :-)

I was like that too but it was my first trimester and I was completely miserable with nausea and very tired all the time. It'll get better, that's so good your hubby is understanding. Mine was the same way and now it's I who can't keep my hands off him! Lol I'm 27 weeks now and I'm barely able to enjoy my pregnancy. You will too it'll just take time!
