Totally, completely, 100% normal. Some women are lucky enough to have their sex drives go into OVER drive with their pregnancies...but most of us lose it altogether. Sometimes it's because we're so damn tired, sometimes it's because we don't feel like we're in our own bodies so we just don't feel sexy, and sometimes there's no reason, we just don't wanna! And well, you and your partner had better just get used to it, because it probably won't be back to normal until your baby is here and sleeping through the night!

What's a sex drive? Mine has been non existent since we found out. Poor DH. Thankfully he has been very understanding although I know his patience is running thin and eventually I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and give it up ;)

 


Married my BEST FRIEND on December 1, 2007. Started TTC in March 2008. Found out we were expecting our first child in October 2008 - but had a m/c in December 2008 - resulting in a d&e. Met with a RE in May 2009 and set a plan - but conceived unexpectedly on our own! Our precious little Sophia was born on February 9, 2010! Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

Mine increased at first until about three weeks ago, I am about 19 weeks and DH is not very happy with the decrease, he is not used to it.

Ugh it's sooo low right now. I feel really bad for DH because he was so looking forward to the process of making the baby and all that extra sexy time...and then we got pregnant first try. We were thrilled, and surprised at the same time. But I feel like he got cheated a bit hah now that I'm never in the mood. I try to make an extra effort for him, but I don't wanna feel like I'm faking anything or forcing it either. Hoping it comes back a bit this trimester...

Mine has decreased but I don't see my husband everyday because he is military however, he has joked that his secret ploy did not work. He wanted me knocked up to cut my sex drive because I was killing him. I have two older kids and know from experience for me it is worse after they are born. I probably be low for first 2-3 years after baby

I feel like mine has just fallen off the face of the earth. I feel so bad for my hubby too, because he thought that once I got into my second trimester it would be Ready Set Go. But it's the opposite. It feels like just the thought of it makes me tired and well, even more not in the mood. My best friend said that when she went into her second trimester it was ALL THE TIME. I'm so jealous of that, I wish mine was just so I could not lead my hubby on. But I guess it's normal and it's different in everyone. One of these days I know I'm going to have to bite the bullet for my husbands sake. Lol

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I get it back sometime soon before baby comes.

I'll keep them crossed for you too=) I know how frustrating it is.

Mine kicked into over drive for a bit & my husband was actually complaining!!!!!! At first he was excited, said it reminded him of our relationship when we started dating & now it's started to slow down again. He's complaining again! I happily remind him that he was complaining about how much I wanted sex. MEN!!!! Just wish there was an in between....... Crossing my fingers for everyone :-)

I've been fairly lucky in that area...  DH has only gone about 12 days without since we got pg.  I really had to make the effort at first, but I have been able to keep at least once a week.  Now I've hit second trimester and things have been a slight bit better.  And I'm able to initiate.  I know that makes DH feel better.

Now after... that's another story!
