No sex drive?

Question

I just found out I'm pregnant with our first baby 2 days ago. (I'm 4 weeks + 3 days.) 
My husband keeps mentioning (jokingly) that my sex drive should increase because I'm pregnant. 
But, even from a week before I got my bfp I have absolutely no desire to have sex. 
I just don't feel like myself, and I still haven't quite adjusted to the idea that there's a baby growing in me and sex just sounds like a chore. And that makes me feel like an awful wife! /:
Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Answer

Me too! I feel so bad for my husband. When he asks I'm like ughhhhhh do we have to. Lol but I just explained to him that I feel really uncomfortable right now in my own skin. I'm extremely bloated & I feel nauseous a lot. He was really glad to hear why I've been acting like that and he is okay with it now. Of course he wishes it was different though. lol

Answer

Answer

Oh I'm 4w4d and I feel like I got kicked in the head! Can't even think about sex right now I just want my husband to come home from his business trip and hold me and pet my head.

Answer

I'm going through the same thing. I'm a little over 17 weeks and my sex drive has been gone since day 1. I have tried but I end up getting sick or I just can't seem to get in the mood. My poor husband. I heard if you're pregnant with a boy you're supposed to have a high sex drive. Well we are having a boy and so far that seems false lol

Answer

Don't feel like a bad wife! Your hormones are going insane right now lol....if you are up to it maybe try offering a blowjob? That's what I've done throughout my entire pregnancy if I'm not in the mood lol. In the beginning I was this way and my husband got really sad and thought I wasn't attracted to him, once I explained he completely understood!

Answer

Well I hope it's true for me... haha
I want a girl really badly! But my hubby wants a boy and is hell bent on it being a boy. 
I am glad to hear someone else is experiencing this though, I'm hoping it'll get better for the both of us! I'm not sure how long my husband will stay sane hahaha
