Who does all the work at home? Are you responsible for the vast majority of the parenting and the mental load? What about chores and cooking? If so then it's likely tiredness for a strat

Yeah… I actually prefer to not have sex anymore. I get that I’m pregnant now, but we sorta fell off before hand.

Anyway, I have sex with him even when I’m not in the mood. Just use lube. If I don’t start off in the mood, which is basically always when he’s ready, I get there because sex is fun. But the start sucks!!

There's no harm in getting bloods done to check hormones, I started going through peri menopause at 41.
But most likely tiredness & mental load

I was going through the same thing and talked to my OB. They did a bunch of blood tests and my hormone levels and blood levels were all out of normal ranges contributing to my low drive and constant tiredness. I started supplements and a low dose hormone therapy and it made a HUGE difference. Life in general has improved vastly. Not as tired all the time, mood overall improved, more productive with my days and sex drive improved as well! All this to say, it might be worth talking to a professional. It made a difference in more than just my sex drive in the end.

Are you breastfeeding? It affects a lot sex drive.
If you had a baby less than 2 years ago, hormonal balance can take around 2 years for some people.
It's annoying but not abnormal..
If you're tired, you so a lot at home, don't have enough support and enough time to take care of yourself etc. It can also affect you.
If you can, try:
- exercise, even walking, without kids
- sleep
- get a massage
- take a bath
- eat healthy, a balanced diet
- very long foreplay
- cuddles
- use lubricant

I wish I was feeling like you. I'm so horny like a dog. @least once per day, I'm having sex. My husband be tired as hell, but @least he never says no.
Try some more physical touch, massages n lots of soft kisses.
I hope it gets better for you. Try to do some meditation.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
