SEX?

My husband and I used to be very sexually active since the beginning. We've been married 5 years and it's never stopped even when I was pregnant with my son.  But with this pregnancy I can't seem to get in the mood. He wants to do it but I just tell him no. I feel bad because I don't want him to feel that I don't want him no more but I just can't get in the mood. Nothing works :( Anyone else go through this? Will it get better as my pregnancy advances? Which btw I am 12 weeks and 6 days pregnant.

That's probably why. I am obsessed with makeup I have tons of it but ever since I've been pregnant I've probably wore makeup twice. I don't even bother to do my hair I just leave it up in a bun. I might have to give that a shot.

Before i left my baby daddy and pregnancy we were worse than rabbits. 4+ times a day. once pregnant i just didn't feel sexy. Hemorrhoids, bloated, nausea, sore breasts, cramps, it was bad. the last time we did it i purchased a new bra and panties, the sexy kind, and a skimpy night gown, wore those  heels that you wear just to look at abd not walk in, did my makeup... it really helped. made me feel sexy. prolly the best sex i ever had. I suggest this to every woman struggling with her sex drive. Dress sexy, feel sexy, because you are sexy. embrace it! Explore. try something new. visit a special toy shop. sometimes its what's needed. :)
