for me it was like as soon as the test came up pregnant I lost all desire. haha. my boyfriend was the same as the other girls. he wanted it and that's all that mattered to him. but around 16 weeks my desire came back and still hasn't left me haha..it'll come back!

ill be 9 weeks tmrw. I lost my desire at about 5 weeks and it came back around 8 weeks but my fiancé says its like freak status. lmao. so just don't think it will never come back bc if it doesn't for the rest of the pregnancy then it will come back afterwards. :) My drive only came back AFTER i was told i was on pelvic rest. thank god its overrrrr :)

It's perfectly normal. My sexual desire is off an on. I'll go a week going crazy in bed, then a week I won't want him touching me! But usually when that comes I try to do oral or something to satisfy him because not being intimate with our husbands, is like them paying no mind to us. And that kinda ***** right? So I at least try something whether I am in the mood or not. Not trying to TMI, but we are all grown here.

I'm almost 36 weeks with a girl and i do not have a sex drive at all and that's not normal for me lol. When i was prego with my boys i wanted sex all the time that the hubby couldn't keep up with me lol.  Maybe it's a sign it's a girl?  :-)

I've lost my sexual interest day one of conception. I'm 8-9 weeks. I honestly think that you should both talk about it and come up with a solution or do oral for his pleasure. I hope it goes away sometime throughout the pregnancy I know Im praying it will.

I understand where your at with this!maybe try doing things for him..you know helping him out without having sex..that's what I do when im not in the mood.i know it's tmi but I use the Johnson's baby oil gel and he gets satisfied and it's sexy to him that I want to do at least something for him.just surprise him:)as long as he gets satisfied I'm sure he will be happy!

Im 35 weeks and have been like that my entire pregnancy. Try and communicate is my best advice and that didnt really work for me. I tried talking and explaning to my bf but he whom only thought about himself and thought that hormones were just another excuse was like i have a gf i cnt do anything with which made me feel like ****. Long story short i still get **** for it and i dnt care anymore if i dnt want to i dont want to simple as that
