    I am a ftm so I don't know but I know since I have gotten pregnant I stared ms and have had no sex drive for 5 weeks now. My poor dh.

  • I'm 9w3. I haven't had drive for a month now. Hubs is not impressed, but I didn't know this happened. In fact, I had heard it was heightened during pregnancy? Not so far atleast... It's weird that one day my drive (which was a good one) was gone, one day will it just magically come back? What about you moms that are due early Jan, do you have your drive back yet?
  • That's what I always thought too that it was increased but I'm definitely far from that!
  • I'm due January 4th and I've got nothing. Poor hubs!
  • It gets better sometime in the second Tri. My first pregnancy was way different. I didn't have morning sickness or anything. This one, I'm nauseous all of the time. The few times we had sex, i felt like I was motion sickness and I was on a boat. I can't bring myself to do it again. Lol hubby can't wait until I get off the couch.

  • I think it tends to be tough in the first trimester because of MS. I know I've been feeling too crappy to even consider any sexy time. Within the past week I've been starting to feel better (and have even been having some crazy sexy dreams!) so I'm hoping our time is coming soon! I think it's totally normal to feel this way during the first tri then things pick up in the second!
  • I have the thought during the day that I should just suck it up for him but then the second he comes home and tries it just goes out the windkw...I really hope it changes soon
  • Mine is 0%.  Exhaustion, working, and a toddler have crashed it.  The placenta is over my cervix right now so I'm not allowed to have sex, so at least I have an excuse to use...gee...so sad.  Lol.

  • Per my OB, I'm not allowed to have sex either. I think it's true that if you don't use it, you lose it. I don't really even want to right now. It's a little sad really, because I do miss this closeness with my husband.

  • Its pretty normal in the 1st tri for sex drive to plummet. Its been weeks here, but this happened with DD's pregnancy too. Sometime in the 2nd tri I suddenly couldn't get enough of DH ;)
    And then later in 3rd tri DH was weirded out by the belly and wouldn't anymore.
  • I'm due January 4 and I have no drive whatsoever. I didn't really have a high drive to begin with but it was definitely better than this. I used to make sure we did it at least twice a week but now, i can't even make myself once a week. I'm tired all the time and the thought of anyone touching me after my 2 year old goes to sleep makes my skin crawl. I wish I could remember if it came back last pregnancy but I don't think it did because during 2nd trimester last time I had horrible pregnancy insomnia and was exhausted all the time yet couldn't sleep.

  • I have not had a sex drive since finding out I was pregnant.  My poor DH is totally getting pushed aside in that department.  He's been a trooper about it though! It doesn't even feel very comfortable for me (sorry if TMI) The last time we did, I spotted afterwards for a little bit and that just turned me off even more. 
  • I haven't been interested in sex once in nine weeks. My boobs hurt, I'm bloated beyond belief, and I'm worried about drooling on my hubby. Hoping I get my libido back in the second tri. Until then, we're cuddling a lot!
  • My mojo has been gone for so long that I worry about losing the intimacy with dh. We have had a lot of stresses that limited our time before we were pregnant then having to go through IVF I just haven't felt sexy in months. Now that my body is changing, tired all the time, rarely feel good and my body hurts so I don't want him near me, it just makes me sad that it's only going to get worse! Fingers crossed for an uptick soon!

    This is like exactly what I'm feeling.
  • I didn't have it. And then I had it hard core for the first tri. I'm now 12 weeks tomorrow and since my Pap at 11weeks, it's completely gone.

    Everytime we get touchy feely, the pap pops in my head and I'm instantly uncomfortable and don't want anything going in anywhere, or any part of my body.

    My mind wants to, I want to. But as soon as we start getting heated, the image is in my head and I have to stop. My poor DH. I love him so much for being such a trooper.

    Hopefully it'll get better soon. Hopefully! I like being intimate with him. I feel close to him, and I love the one on one time. But damn it Pap smear!!
  • I don't have a sex drive at all! I've been so sick for the past eight weeks... I make sure to bite the bullet and just let him do his thing ever two days, I just let him know I'm not gonna orgasm, due to no fault by him... It's just I'm feeling waaaay too crappy to get into it. He's pretty used to it now. He's just glad I still have sex haha. He says any sex is better than no sex :D haha!
