1st Trimester

No libido

I'm a couple days shy of 10 weeks and I've known I was pregnant since about 4 weeks and my DH and I have only been intimate a couple of times since then. I feel awful because he is so supportive and helpful since I've been basically useless for the last month. 

Please tell me I'm not the only one with absolutely no sex drive at all! 

Re: No libido

  • I think it's normal, and it may pass or it may not. I'm usually like this when I'm pregnant.

    Maybe try spicing things up a bit to get you in the "mood" so to say.

  • Dude, I have been pregnant twice and didn't have sex during either one of the pregnancies! Not even once!

    It was partly my H being "weird" about having sex while I was pregnant and partly me just not being into it. You'll get your libido back but it's totally normal to not be interested right now.

  • Last time i was the same way. I think it's just my hormones being out of whack plus being tired and nauseous. By the 2nd trimester my sex drive was back up.

    I think I had sex a handful of times during both pregnancies. I just couldn't get into it, it was painful and generally just not a pleasant experience. My husband was awesome about it. Sex is important, but you are going through a major life change right now. Creating a person is a big deal and I think some things need to be relaxed.

    We only had sex once or twice in my 1st tri, and just when things kinda returned in libido department my pregnant belly decided to turn things wierd for hubby so sex isnt really happening now either. The consensus i got from the awesome ladies in the thread i started was that its pretty normal for bedroom activites to stall somewhat during pregnancy. Hang in there! Its a bit frustrating for us but things will go back to normal eventually!
  • We have only done it a handful of times. For awhile there, it always made me puke (talk about being unsexy). I know H wants it, but he is really good about not being annoying about it and has even offered to try and figure out ways to  make me more comfortable.

    He has been sick for the past 2 weeks, which has been helpful :)
  • My DH has been great about it but I feel it is an important part of a marriage - but you're all very right. There are some big things going on right now and we'll be just fine without it for a while :)
