I found out I was pregnant 2 days after I married the father of my 2 yr old. I have 0% sex drive, and I feel sooo bad for my husband! It was this way with our first as well. My sex drive came back about 6 weeks after having our first daughter.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I couldn't get enough. It was multiple times a day, or at least I tried. My husband was frustrated with me trying to keep up. And i've always kind of had a high sex drive, then it increased by 50 lol. But now i'm 8 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and I have absolutely no interest at all for sex. My husband is once again upset as he was now looking forward to the increase this time.. Lol thats what he gets for pushing me away a lot last pregnancy. :)

My first preg i had a girl...and didnt want sex... as far as getting it back after delivery it depends how tired you are... it took me a while to get it back, kinda when i got more organized and Allisa started sleeping more...

Im actually relieved that i have some drive this time as it is tough and its hard to get them to truly understand that its not them it you lol

I'm the opposite. With my son I wanted it ALL the time and now just the thought repulses me. I'm 28 weeks with a girl. I feel bad for my husband too. He was really understanding at first. Mostly because our dr said none til the 2nd trimester due to some issues but now it's starting to bug him so I cave in but i am so uncomfortable and I just don't want to do that lol.

I can tell you that I had a lower then normal for me sex drive right until about a month into my pregnancy.   Now I have zero sex drive.  i feel bad for my husband but I have come to realize that is fairly normal.   Apparently it's also a old wives tale that when you lose your sex drive that you are carrying a boy.  Which according to 2 U/S now is what i'm having.

About 50% of pregnancies have decreased sex drive. Its normal. With my first I didn't want to be touched with a 10 foot pole. I literally had sex 1 time in 13 months it was so bad. But with my second I couldn't get enough. Each pregnancy is different and the hormones will react different ways.
