I currently have no libido at all. I didn't have one with my first pregnancy either. I wish I was one of those women who have crazy libido when pregnant but no luck so far.

I feel like I have a decrease... this last week DH has been working late and I'm asleep by the time he gets to bed so part of me is relieved I don't have to deal with it. Last night he did wake me up and say "Sex Time!" when he came to bed... I got all grouchy on him and told him to leave me alone ha ha, but come on... I was sleeping! Don't wake up a sleeping pregnant lady.
Ugh I'm glad I'm not alone. Normal I'm a lot more 'fun' according to my guy, haha, but lately I've just had no energy and haven't had the same level of interest. It's driving him crazy - poor guy lol. Plus I've been so emotional!! (crying and sex do not mix!)
I'm hoping it gets a bit better in the second trimester. I've read that energy levels go back up when the morning sickness phases passes, etc
Plus the pain! Oh God it's terrible. What normally would be enjoyable causes this awful cramping feeling... Feels like its going 'too deep' when it really isn't.
I'm on full pelvic rest until at LEAST my next appointment on 6/29. Hubby has to handle things on his own if he wants. If the whole pregnancy stays this way he may go get snipped so that we can't have a second. I would say I feel bad but considering I have NO desire to be touched, I don't feel even a little bad.

Its only been a week since I found out but I feel like mine has decreased. Now DHs? His has increased. Not sure whats going on there, haha! My first pregnancy, bless his heart, we barely ever had sex. The second, was much much better... this one is still up in the air. Maybe I need to re read 50 shades of grey or something!
Mine also disappeared, HOWEVER, I'm not going to reject my husband's needs, and despite lack of interest, it feels amazing!! Really incredible, and thinking about how much better it feels, has given me a jumpstart and gotten me more interested. Like, why are we not doing this every night!?
I'm scared ... The one time we did since finding out resulted in cramping after. I don't want to be in pain ... Maybe I'll try it again after our doctor's appt in week 8 but not before that.

I'm all for doing it if it feels good but doing it so you don't "reject his needs" sounds a little stepford wife to me to be honest. Girl, your needs come first for the next 9 months. Well, in my house, my needs probably always come first if I'm being honest lol. I'm sure you didn't mean for it to sound that way though - just bustin your chops

Ha! What libido? DH, however, responded to the BFP news (after the initial surprise, hugs, etc) with an invitation to the bedroom. I wonder if pregnancy makes the guys just feel more "manly" and virile or something that gives them a rush of testosterone.
Yup. Accompanied by pain (cramping) upon climax which is not encouraging either. Oh man! Darn is right.
Edit: added cramping
Omg THIS; WTF. This is so scary every single time. I feel like I'm endangering the little bean, but how can that be? Making me crazy paranoid that I'm not meant to be enjoying my sex life anymore--but I refuse to accept that until a doctor says so.

All the nausea and bloating puts me off anyway and I think its just decreased I've been having a lot of pain we never we have sex so I don't know what's going on its so stressing though I feel like a waste of a woman... Xxx
Mine has increased but I'm so exhausted, I want to go to bed after our 2 year old goes down around 8 pm so we try to do it in the morning more often now.
It's like a cruel joke. . . I've had an increase, but by the time we're both home, I'm exhausted, ridiculously bloated, and my boobs are killing me. . . Kind of offputting.
Definite increase. I could go 3x a day. One of my favorite pregnancy symptoms!

Used to have such a song sex drive...lol....anywhere, anytime, but now I am just not really interested. It is good to know that apparently this will change. Feel bad for my BF. Lots of cold showers and alone time.....I know, tmi, but just saying.
Can I have some of y'alls insatiable desires/needs please? I am way too exhausted to even think about it. Poor DH. I need to suck it up, hes been a trooper.
I don't know that it has changed. I always want it all the time lol. However the fatigue is getting to me. I want it so bad but I'm so so tired. When I was pregnant with my daughter I wasn't into it at all lol. We had sex like once a week during that pregnancy
I want nothing to do with sex right now. My libido is gone and it's uncomfortable to the point where it kind of hurts. Hanging in there for the magical second tri libido return that I got last pregnancy.
I've been starting to feel better lately which has helped in the increase of libido department..I think I'm going to try to surprise DH tonight when he gets home from work. I bought new lingerie when we were just starting TTC that I never got out of the packaging since it happened so fast.
Mine went from super high to basically non-existing. First time in my life at age 37. Super weird.
I feel really bad for him, because he's still ready to go at any moment. We noted last night that this is the longest we've ever gone without sex, I think it's been a week now.
Also, tons of stuff he does gets on my nerves BIG TIME and grosses me out. That's new too. I feel mean thinking this stuff and I do try to keep it to myself so not to hurt his feelings. I was semi-turned on last night before bed, but then he did something that grossed me out and turned me off...gosh, what was it...? I think he posed in the mirror and squeezed his stomach, pointing out that it's bigger than mine maybe.
Anybody else getting turned off super easy by stuff their guy is doing? I feel so bad about it
