decreased sex drive

[KTkirk]

This is a weird question but does anyone else have a decreased sex drive now that they are pregnant? I feel bad for my boyfriend because I just don't want it at all and he's trying to understand but its still hard for me and it's hard for me because I don't know what to do about it besides wait it out and see if it increases once I'm out of the 1st trimester :( I'm 12w5d with a healthy little baby inside my belly so I'm almost to the second trimester :) but I'm not sure what I can do about this, any ideas?

It'll come back, and it'll come back with a vengeance

Went from at least once a day to um I think we did it last week?? Lol. My hubby is very understanding and if I am up to it honestly a quickie works wonders.

This makes me feel better. I'm 12w and my bf & I used to have sex 2 times a day. Now its 3-4 times a week

Im the same exact way, none wat so ever my bf gets mad but theres nothing i can do about it lol

[sweetlulu88]

I'm 13wks and have no desire to have any sex what so ever. I guessing because it's my third pregnancy. .... my last two pregnancies I was very active lol I lost all my energy I guess.but don't feel bad it may be normal for pregnant women

I'll be 16 weeks Wednesday and my sex drive has returned!! I was the same way in my first trimester but the 2nd trimester has really been good to me! Good luck ladies!

I thought I was the only one. I'm 15 weeks and it doesn't cross my mind. My husband on the other hand can't stop thinking about it and I feel bad telling him I'm not in the mood

I'm 16 wks tomorrow and I still have no desire but this wk I have to put in the attention to my hubby he's been so Patient and supportive. I've been sick with a head cold and more recently dealing with hemmriod issues for the first time. All not helping in the "sexy" department. Hopefully they will subside in the comming days and we can get back to business. Ladies we gotta try and treat our man right. Even when we don't want to we gotta find compromise.

Im 13w and i just dont have the need for sex anymore right  my poor bf likes sex 3-4X a day everyday and i just cant for one i dont have energy really and for two im still not over a head cold. But he slowly understands. Ill still do somethings for him here and there but there is just no pleasing for me.

I'm 14 weeks and finally getting some energy back but my interest in sex is limited. We used to do it most days out of the week and we've only had sex once a month for the last three months. I had to explain to my poor husband that my nipples are in pain and I have no interest. I encourage regular masturbation but I don't think he's doing it. I hoping now that I'm getting more energy we can start being intimate more often. I saw something on another community about oral and the use of a grapefruit. I don't know if I could do that but it looks interesting!

I'm with you ladies...never enough sleep and no interest in sex. We've been making do with other things for him (hand jobs mostly). Every once in a while I do my best to be intimate even without the initial interest. Sometimes I can get there...other times it's just about the intimacy. I think this is what all the books and "experts" mean when they say it's more about the intimacy than the passion as you move forward in your relationship. I hope my drive comes back but in the meantime I'm trying to enjoy and learn from setting aside my lack of interest for the sake of staying emotionally connected. We've been together almost 9 years and married almost 5 by the way. It's our first.

I dont have any ideas but im the same. 15 weeks and absolutely no desire for sex. Sleeeeepp on the other hand I cant get enough of, lol.
