Is it just me?

I don't know if it's my hormones, but for weeks, months now, I haven't really felt like being intimate with my boyfriend. I'm 14 weeks tomorrow and I feel really bad about not spending any time with him. I love him, I do. I just don't feel like being touched or cuddling or anything right now. Also, I dread getting into the shower. I've cried trying to take a shower once before. It's just not comfortable or refreshing. What do you girls think?

I've been the same way! It may get better though. I was like that all the way up until a few weeks ago. I've been more affectionate towards him and actually wanting and willing to be intimate lately . I'm 29 weeks and 2 days now !

I am the exact same way, have been since  around 7 weeks I'm now 23 weeks. And I hate showering and bathing (of course I still shower) mainly because it's uncomfortable for me, I can never get the temp just right and always get dizzy and almost faint so I have to get out at least twice every time just so I don't faint. And bathing I've always found disgusting because you're sitting in your own filth so in screwed lol

I was like this too. Some women want it all the time while pregnant some don't want  it at all. it's normal.

Thanks. He's heard other people at his work tell him that they went through the same thing with their pregnancy. I'm glad I'm not the only woman inadvertently doing this to their man.

I was exactly the same in the beginning!! Now I'm 35 weeks. I wanted nothing to do with my boyfriend until well into my second trimester, most nights he slept on the couch because I just couldn't get comfortable with him in the bed. I still have no real desire for being intimate, but I don't mind cuddling every now and then. I like him a lot more now then I did in the beginning of my pregnancy.
