I have no desire to connect sexually with my partner, my body feels closed and unwilling to open to him and most of the time it hurts. I feel like some of it is because of all the physical changes my body is undergoing, however I feel like there is an emotional aspect playing out too. Physically everything is more sensitive, so I usually feel like it gets too much to continue and we stop. It feels like my body isn’t working- please tell me I’m not the only one…

How far along are you? During my first trimester I wasn’t feeling it, but then second trimester I was a freak 😂

I am in my first trimester I’m 12 weeks nearly and I can’t even be bothered to have sex most of the time because I have no energy but before I was pregnant I wanted it every night your not alone xxx

I’m due next month and haven’t wanted to do it this entire pregnancy. Last pregnancy was different. Listen to your body and don’t force anything that doesn’t feel right. Your partner and sex will both still be there after you have the baby.

I’ve had little to no interest in sex my whole pregnancy. I tried to rally during the second trimester when i was physically feeling up for it (no more nausea and no belly yet) but now at 32 weeks I honestly can’t even picture how that would go lol. I’ve been in so much pain and discomfort the last week in particular, and I imagine it will continue or just get worse as I grow.

I’m struggling to get some 😭 my husband prefers to abstain during.

36 weeks and slowly declined over the course of my pregnancy. I love him with my whole heart and we do try but like you, it hurts and it’s very uncomfortable. I just can’t focus on us and it feels very awkward!
He’s very supportive, and doesn’t pressure me at all and kind of just leaves me alone. I do keep asking him if he’s okay with this and he says he feels the same way and doesn’t get turned on as much too! I think hormones and pheromones play a lot into it!

I’ve always had a high sex drive but when I was pregnant it went pretty much straight away, it just never appealed to me and I was interested in it. Also I didn’t feel very comfortable in my new body that was changing but within a week of having my LO my drive was back and stronger than before 😂 but we’re all different and you just have to listen to your body, your partner will understand 🤍

I had a very high sex drive with my first, but I was more fit at the time and felt sexy. This time around I was heavier, already not feeling great in my body and it’s been a lot less of a sex drive for me plus some pain with penetration. Letting go and relaxing has helped but at this point (36 weeks) all we can really do is doggy and it’s not very intimate. I’m all for it though bc sex put me into labor last time and I want this girl out! Lol

literally same my sex drive was alwayssss high then i got pregg it went away i had sex up until the second trimester the 2& 3rd trimester i wasnt active at allll & had 0 arousal my boyfriend kept thinking i wasnt attracted to him anymore but i kept telling him its cause im pregnant i read some woman do experience low sex drive during pregnancy

We aren't intimate as we've both been nervous (16 weeks now) and honestly my body feels terrible. We are just being okay with it, who knows things may change later in pregnancy, especiallywhen im just about due and want the baby out 🤣. We love each other very much and have a great relationship so not worried about waiting until I have my body back after the baby and rekindling that part. Good luck!

i completely lost my sex drive from second trimester until my little was born. i got my libido back three days after giving birth though 🤣 now having to wait the six weeks is draining me 😖 everyone’s hormones during pregnancy are completely different 😊

yeah I read about it too, it’s funny how our bodies work and change so much! My partner was the same with me x

I've had a crazy high sex drive my entire pregnancy. Sometimes it hurts but lube and foreplay are my friends. (I'm 30 weeks)

I was putting of my partner for a week and kept declining him but was so upset because I thought I caught the ick. Fast forward 4 weeks I found out I was pregnant but he was the one making assumptions because he said I’m never not up for sex lol. There was times I was forcing myself too have sex with him because I felt bad but it didn’t turn out well. Ended up feeling extremely nauseas after and started crying mid sex! He freaked out and never touched me again 😂😂 but he’s so understanding so I’m lucky!

they will think its them but it’s literally US 😹😹 our bodies just dont want it at the moment

literally!!🤦🏼♀️😂 that’s all it is

I was exactly the same 😂 second trimester I was worse than my partner and that’s saying something!!!
