Sex Drive..or should i say lack of

[steph0607]

Please tell me that i am not alone in this...I have no sex drive at all..My poor husband and I havent been intimate in over two weeks and to be honest i really have no desire for it..I dont know if it is because i am so big and not comfortable or if im too exhausted from not being able to sleep..please tell me this is normal and will go away..is anyone else feeling this way?

[steph0607]

i am so glad to see that i am not alone in this..my poor husband tries all the time and i just tell him that i dont feel like it or not right now or just a flat out no..then he always makes me feel guilty because he makes a comment like you can aleast say you have a headache or give me some other lame excuse beside just saying no or that you dont want to..i feel bad that i dont want to have sex but its not him at all i know its because im big fat and pregnant..i hope things go back to the way they were before i was pregnant..

I agree! I didn't have much of a sex drive before which has always bothered my husband but now that I'm pregnant and it's even worse he gets so upset. I feel bad but I just can't get myself to do it.

Wow, I was feeling so, SO guilty, but now that I am reading everyone else's posts, it's kind of comforting to see I'm not alone in cutting off the ol' supply, so to speak.

Honestly my sex drive never came back after my last pregnancy. I was thinking about asking my Dr. about it after this pregnancy is done. I dont know if there is anything you can do/take to help this out, its not like they have viagra for women?

within the past like 7 months I can count on both hands how many times we've had sex. its only 6 times. maybe this will get better. lol.

With each of my pregnancies it has been DH who hasn't been near me lol!! With my two boys after the 4 month mark nothing until after I stopped nursing, this time not since I got my BFP, it doesn't help that DH is only home 1 or 2 nights a week either, at least we are still talking about it and if DH feels this way about me being in 'mommy mode' then I have to respect that too, i think 1 preemie baby with serious complications and two miscarriages has just made him fearful no matter how much i reassure him. At least I
know thIngs go back to normal afterwards, well our normal anyway!!!

I dont have any desire to have sex!  It's the last thing on my mind these days! LoL I feel very bad for my bf but I hope he understands. Plus I'm so drained & feel like a whale. Haha I'm 34 weeks

I have not had a sex drive for awhile now, I was hoping the pregnancy would kick start it a little with all the hormones but no can do. I kindof go through the motions once a week which I know is sad but really not sure what else to do. Plus you are right, being huge and uncomfortable doesn't exactly make it easy.

Uggg....It's been A LOT longer than two weeks for us, and I mean a lot longer. Sex started getting really uncomfortable and even painful around 5 months or so. I was trying to keep that on the low, but I knew he could tell and felt bad. I've had NO drive whatsoever for quite a while, I have to admit. I'd be willing to do ummm...."other stuff" but I think he's kind of lost his own drive lately, too because he knows I'm pretty uncomfortable most of the time.  So don't feel bad!

It was the other way around with me. He wouldnt touch me for awhile cause one night I caught a bad cramp in my stomach and it scared him so he wouldnt touch me. The other night I just had to take it. Sorry if its tmi.
