Anyone else "not in the mood"?

in June 2016 Moms
Wondering if anyone else is experiencing a drop in their sex drive? I've been reading that a lot of pregnant women actually see an increase in their sex drive, but I am rarely in the mood and feel bad that I keep turning my husband away! I'm just over 12 weeks along and waiting for it to kick back in!

    I'm really embarrassed to admit this (yay anonymity of the internet - ish) but I haven't had sex once since I peed on a stick. My husband was away for the first couple of weeks (when I was still feeling good) and I've been so sick lately that sex is the absolute last thing I want to do. So hoping that second trimester is better. Poor hubs.

    I'm so tired that it's the last thing I want to do either. Hopefully the spark comes back in the second trimester!

    There is a thread about this that is ongoing that you might find helpful. :-) I think it's called "Actual sex thread".

    Nope, no desire at all. Just sick and miserable.

    Mine is GONE. We did it once around 8 weeks preg and I bled after. I know that's normal and ok, but it scared me so much Im done until a little further along. Plus, toooo tired. DH has been great though and he understands. Doesn't stop him from trying nightly though ;)

    I would be happy to completely skip it for now. Between tiredness and sickness I have no desire. We do it maybe 2 times a week, and dh is pretty ticked about the change. He does not hide his emotions well, *sigh*

    Well I try my best to be a good sport, but yeah, I'm only going along with it for my husband's sake.

    Since my ms kicked in I think we have had sex like 3 times. It's awful and I feel so bad for my hubby. But I just can't.

    Oh girl I haven't wanted to at all. I feel so guilty. Just am so tired all the time!

    I have had bleeding twice already that put me on pelvic rest. I feel like the worst wife ever, but the two separate weeks of pelvic rest were almost a relief after doctor said baby was still ok. Pelvic rest means no hubby trying to put the moves on me when all I want is a foot rub and sleep. In his defense he has been giving foot rubs nightly, despite only getting any activity maybe once a week. Come on 2nd trimester!

    I don't wanna scare everyone but I've pretty much had zero sex drive since DS was born 2.5 years ago. We will have sex I just never feel like it sucks!
