Is it normal to be this far along and not sexually active?

Question

Before I found out I was pregnant, my sex life was amazing. I have no drive whatsoever now and I'm content with that. My SO, on the other hand, still has his drive but is supportive of me.

Answer

Welcome to pregnancy either we don't want it or we want it all the time

Answer

I have zero sex drive too. I was in the mood once and we tried and it was the most painful sex of my life so not happening again anytime soon. Lucky for me, SO has a low sex drive so he's not too bothered by it.

Answer

I have not had sex since becoming pregnant. Basically my husband is a saint. Between the morning sickness and my posterior pelvis constantly dislocating and vericose veins on my labia, no way. Sorry. He totally understands and doesn't pressure me at all. I've never had a high sex drive though, so he's kind of used to it... Not this long though haha.

Answer

I'm not in this boat. My sex drive is thriving but afterwards if your breast feeding I found my sex drive diminishes. When breastfeeding your natural lubricant that you get when your sex drive is up isn't there because of hormones from breastfeeding. Just work on it and to show your husband thanks surprise him one night with a BJ. I have had some days when  I don't want sex at all that or I'm so tired from working. So one day we did that!

It is extremely normal. Don't feel bad

Answer

It's very normal , some of us unfortunately fall under the low sex drive catergory 😞, hopefully it comes back after birth !

Answer

Sex gives me awful awful awful Braxton's. My hubs has been an angel about it. He's so supportive. He jokes every once in a while, but he's so much more concerned with me and baby. So lucky 😍

Answer

I'm in the same situation. Sometimes it bothers me when I think about it, and other times I'm just like oh well... Sex will be there always, plenty of time to do it after the baby is here. I'm not so much interested in sex right now and maybe that's just because it's hard for me to feel sexual while pregnant... Idk. I'm not a fan of the whole not being sexually active with my SO for 9 months tho.. That's the thought that bothers me.. I'm just like damnnn that's a really long time.

Answer

I have NO sex drive. I try but I just don't want to. We had a bleeding scare after sex in the first trimester so Hubby is a little hesitant towards it anyway. We just do it when I feel like it. 👍

Answer

I have lost my drive and I feel bad, but I can't bring myself to force myself :/ I'm sure my husband harbors some resentment but I think they need to be patient

Answer

I hope it's normal, because I've only had sex with my husband like 4 times since getting pregnant... He's a freaking saint!
