will it ever come back?

I have had zero sex drive for over a month. I see all these ladies posting about intimacy issues that are about husbands not wanting to and how it bothers them. I feel as if I'm shutting my husband out. I can't help it. I feel so unnatractive and exhausted. I'm only 30 weeks. Will I want sex again before this baby is born?

Shelby,  my guess is your husband understands and forgives this.  I mean, look at you in the mirror.  He must understand that you are struggling physically.  

It sounds like your husband is a great guy.  My husband is a great guy too,  and wouldn't have insisted on sex in the last trimester.  

Later,   after you've delivered it's not clear that your sex drive will come back right away.  I'm just saying that from experience.  I decided to have sex with my husband even though I wasn't into it for about a year.

Because of how painful it is, I haven't had a sex drive my entire pregnancy. I did it once a month just for my bf sake, but he noticed what I would go through(as far as suffering) & decided he would wait it out until after the baby. But, for some reason my sex drive has been through the roof! Lol I watch porn, & masturbate just about every day hoping he will want to have sex. (I still want to even though it's painful to help prepare for labor) Just started feelong this way abiut a week ago, now 36weeks. Hopefully things change for you ladies, especially if it's not painful.

It would bother me at first but not anymore more and if I ever get in the mood I rather pleasure myself because I tried doing it with my husband but I just couldn't focus or get turned on...i think all men are messy lol give him a chance if he's been to supportive with you takes care of you then yes do an effort to please him he probably well deserves it :)...

I wish it didn't bother me. It doesn't make me want to cry or anything like that. I just feel a little guilty is all. He has been very supportive and an excellent provider from day one. I can't really complain. He is kinda messy though :)

Girl we r on the same boat I haven't had any sex drive in all my pregnancy but I at the point where I don't care cuz I'm the one carring this baby I'm the one going through all the mood swings I'm the one that's gonna go through the pain...the reason I don't care it's because he has an addiction of watching porn it does bother me but there's nothing I can do about I think that's more the reason why I don't want to be intimate with him either...
