Is it normal?

Sorry for this kind of question, but any of you have sex problems while pregnant?? I just have no desire to have sex lately. I don’t know if it's my hormones or the fact that I feel sleepy all the time but I cant even get truly turned on.. Makes me worry that my love is going to give up on me soon :-((( (hope not lol) but is it normal to have a decrease in sexual desire???

My sex drive increased during my first pregnancy but not during my second. I think my husband was expecting me to be the same way. He was a little disappointed, lol. Anyway we are on our third and I think really he has just been trying to stay away from me because I've been really moody. I am almost to my second trimester. For the most part we never had any problems with things.

Yes it's normal. Your love should get used to the idea of less sex at some point because in the 3rd trimester it's almost impossible (not entirely impossible but pretty difficult when you feel like you have a watermelon of a belly in the way). Plus the 6 weeks post partum you have to wait for sex. LOL!

The 2nd trimester means more energy so you may get more action then. He should read The Expectant Father so that he gets man-to-man information about sex during pregnancy and beyond.

That is definitely normal, some people just feel it at the beginning of pregnancy and some all the way through, while others have increased sexual desire when pregnant. It's your hormones, insecurities, and fatigue that causes it. I'm sure your husband will understand that you just don't feel like it, you can also find other ways to please him, like foreplay that kind of thing, or wait it out and see if your sex drive comes back! Good luck :]

Very normal! Everyone is diffrent though. You might notice after the 2nd trimester starts (if your not there already) Your libido will pick up. I have days where I dont want to be touched and other where if he doesnt touch me I would make his life hell:) But in the begining I wanted nothing to do with sex.
