Sex Drive or lack thereof

Is anyone else also struggling with this. I am 21 weeks and the last thing I want to do is have sex with my partner.  I have also had several complications with bleeding and being in hospital. Not sure if that is making me wary. I just don't want to have sex.  He's trying to be understanding, but I can see it's getting to him. I just am not interested. Is this normal?

Me too. I haven't wanted sex in the slightest since we conceived. Sometimes I don't even want to be snuggled up to at night.
I.feel so bad for my hubby. I gave him a hj the other day, and I barely had the motivation for that...

I'm 25 weeks and have had the same problem. It's gotten a lot better over the past 2 weeks. Just have good communication with ur partner and tell him that u will be back to normal soon.

I haven't had any sex drive either.  I admit it's nice to see I'm not the only one.  I'm 21w3d and when my husband is getting antsy, I try to indulge him in other forms (hand jobs mostly). I definitely make the effort to remain affectionate though through touching and kissing.  It makes a big difference and I think it makes it easier for him to handle it as well as he is.

Sex is the last thing on my mind. I'm so tired and uncomfortable that the thought of it makes me exhausted lol my husband thought it was him but I explained to him it's not him it's me lol

Im 20 weeks and have that same issue. My sex drive is totally gone.My hubby is understanding but he does have his moods. I can always tell when it's bothering him. Sometimes I force myself to have sex, but it's nothing like before I became preggo. I can't wait to get it back.
