sex drive

So my last pregnancy I had no sex drive, in fact we barely had sex....like honestly MAYBE once a month while pregnant until 7 months then none at all. I just wasn't feeling it and maybe it was my body image too. This pregnancy is a TOTALLY different story. But seriously how can you go from one pregnancy not interested to another pregnancy very interested? I still don't 100% like my body and the million stretch marks from my first pregnancy but I am slowly accepting it.

Anyways, anyone else have that?

Re: sex drive

  • I'm a FTM so I have nothing else to compare to, but I have ZERO sex drive right now and it's been that way since the BFP. It has nothing to do with body image for me, I guess my hormones are just really out of whack. I will say that I struggled with sex drive issues before getting pregnant though.

  • My first pregnancy i had very little sex drive. We were about the same as you maybe once or twice a month until about seven eight months then not at all. This pregnancy i have even less of a sex drive : ( We've done it maybe three times in four months. It's very unlike me. When i'm not pregnant i want it all the time. My sister is 8 months pregnant and she's been feeling rather frisky. Wish i was, but at least dh has been very understanding.

    Nope. No sex drive any of my 4 pregnancies.
    It probably doesn't help that the only way I can O is by alternative methods besides actual sex.
    So frustrating.

    Eta: I'm glad your having a good time though. ;)
  • I think my sex drive has been about the same now as it was b4 I was prego. Although like previously stated some positions aren't as comfy anymore. But I think overall things are more sensitive down there now( blood flow) I guess. I hope I don't loose my sex drive too much because I like to have that time with my husband. But I guess time will tell .
  • Before kids I had a very healthy sex drive, it dwindled with age/kids, but whenever I get PG, sex drive is high...DH likes this, haha.

  • Last pregnancy I really could take it or leave it.  This time around I have been wanting it a lot more.  I think part of it was that because of some bleeding I was told no sex for a few weeks, so that made me want it.  This time around I actually woke dh up in the middle of the night to do it.  That hasn't happened in forever.

    This is me 100% also. Zero interest before & zero interest after BFP. Due to being high risk I was put on 100% pelvic rest .. So poor hubby has been a trooper since 6dpo & I'm 18w4d today .. With no end in sight of being "allowed" to have sex again anytime soon. & I was excited when at 12w the doctor extended my no sex/pelvic rest rule. Lol.

  • I am just the opposite. My first pregnancy, I could not get enough of DH. It was almost embarrassing how insatiable I was. This time, eh, take it or leave it. I hate to turn DH down, but it's soooo hard to get in the mood when all I want to do have a nap.
