sex drive

I have been told girls want sex all the time when they are pregnant but I dont. Whats wrong with me? I even have dreams about it and that want sex but when I am awake its gone and I dont care anymore. I think my husband might be getting frustrated with me.

Mine went down But I compromise and give my hubby some relief. Before I was pregnant we do it almost everyday. But now I'd at least do it once a week. Even if I'm in the mood, I'll tell him and ask if we can do it the next day or something. So give him a hand if he wants to take care of himself. Just let him know that you're there for him, even if your hormones make you not want to have sex. Men just wants emotional comfort.

Oh honey, that isn't true at all! Some women do, yes- but others don't want to be touched at all. I know I went through both phases; first tri and part of my second I wanted it all the time, after that my sex drive took a steady dive... I have to force myself to be intimate with my SO anymore :-\

I've had no sex drive throughout my entire pregnancy & I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow. I'm actually traumatized about sex. I don't want to get pregnant again so I feel as if I'll never be able to enjoy sex again.. Oh well.

I am in my 3rd trimester as of last week and nothing. It has gotten worse. I am just not comfortable in any positions.

Ha some women want sex all the time. Your blood flow increases by fifty percent, so you're extra sensitive down there. Other women have hormones working against them. The sudden increase of progesterone and estrogen can leave you very much not in the mood. It should start to get better in your second tri. I'd compromise and try at least once a week, but insist on foreplay and maybe use some lube. Good luck mama! It gets better I promise!
