Intimacy

hi, so I'm 24 weeks along and lately my sexual desire has gone down, I still try to please my bf and make it seem like I'm in the mood I don't want him to feel like we've lost the spark. I want to want him but I just feel so dry down there and not in the mood. Is that normal, this is my first pregnancy

I'm in the normal to high range so it's not really an issue for me lol but if you're dry get some lube and play around it's all about having fun! If you're not in the mood try starting with a massage and see if that helps

I'm 25 weeks and in the beginning it was heightened but now I do not have much of a desire for it.. But I'm trying to keep my boyfriend from realizing as well. It hasn't been easy!

I have normal to high desire BUT during and especially after I'm always worried we are hurting him somehow :( I know sex is supposed to be totally safe but my mommy worries are already working overtime and it's hard to shut them off...

Yes. I also have zero desire to have sex with my husband. My doctor said that the reason could be part psychological (feeling unattractive) and part chemical (hormones)...can't wait for that part to pass

When I first became pregnant sex felt horrible being that this my first pregnancy... because everything was stretching eventhough Im still stretching I have found comfortable positions for me and my husband and if your not comfortable just please him or just tell him its not comfortable for you im pretty sure he will understand
