Pregnant Sex

I'm approximately 7 weeks pregnant. Lately I've been turned off by sex. The mention of sex changes me from happy to moody. Penetration seems annoying and the UN and out motions make me cringe. Can anyone help me understand why our at least explain to my significant other because I know it hurts his manhood that I take a shower immediately after and most of the time I don't want to have sex anyways.

I feel the same way. It happened with my first pregnancy and now this one. I had no sex drive what so ever. I agree with the first comment. It's just our hormones being crazy. And if it is hurting then you shouldn't b having sex. I would talk to your doc but mine said no pain should be going on! Tell your man that you are carrying his baby and he should just try to understand that being pregnant is really hard! Hopefully he understands!  Good luck!

Hormones! We all feel differently, some sex drives go way down and some go way up. Ask him to imagine being bounced around with a baby inside him lol tell him you just need some space and sympathy right now
