Not in the mood

Hi, I'm 21 weeks pregnant with our first child. This is kinda awkward but I just have no sexual drive. Anyone else feel the same way? Is there anything I should try?

I could care less about sex this pregnancy, we still have it it makes me feel close and connected to my SO. I'm sure not as often as he'd like lol. But when I was pregnant with my son my gosh I could get enough even if SO wasn't home I'd take care of it myself lol

I'm almost 30 weeks, my sex drive has been non-existent for about 30 weeks. Just try your beat to communicate. Hopefully he understands. This is me and my husbands first child together. But he has 3 previous kids with his ex wife. And he tells me this pregnancy is completely different from hers.

Ugh, those dang hormones.  I was the opposite where my sex drive sky rockets.  My poor husband got chased around the house a lot!  :>)  but then right after the baby, it plummeted.  So, I've had both.  A piece of advice is this----  even if you are not in the mood, try to be intimate with your partner in 'some way' (even if not intercourse) on a semi regular basis.  They will appreciate it and you will stay close that way.  good luck

I didn't either but, I found by just doing it I really got into it. That and it really boosted my sex drive, I love my man so much, reguardless of how driven or undriven I am I couldn't go that long without sex. Just the closeness and connection makes me feel better in a lot of ways, I know he appreciates and enjoys it too (;

I don't have a sex drive either. I've had sex once since I've been pregnant and I'm almost 6 months.
