Has pregnancy decreased/increased your sex drive?

Question

My boyfriend gets upset when I tell him I don't want to have sex. He tells me that if I loved him I would do it. When we do have sex he gets upset because It is uncomfortable to me and I tell him to slow down or be more gentle. I want to be with him in that way, it's just difficult for me. I wanted to know if anyone else has experieced this.

Answer

"If you loved me you'd have sex"? Really. If he loved you, he'd respect you enough to take no for an answer. This is manipulative and abusive.

Answer

He's not being very considerate of your feelings. Tell him many women don't want sex during pregnancy. Mine decreased in the 1st trimester, increase for a while in the second, then leveled. Many couples have a much reduced sex drive, and partners need to be supportive, not try to emotionally coerce you.

Answer

I have almost zero sex drive.  In the last 4 months we've had sex maybe 3 times?  Also,  tell your bf to shove it with the manipulative comments.

Answer

I would say both. Bc it as come and gone throughout entire pregnancy. 35 +6

Answer

My sex drive has stayed the same but I'm in the same boat as you with it being really uncomfortable borderline painful and telling my fiancé to slow down. But he is very understanding and listens. I think you need to sit down with your so and have a talk with him about it because he isn't being considerate to you at all.

Answer

Super horny

Answer

Only reason our sex has decreased is because I get way too uncomfortable!

Answer

My sex drive has definitely gone down...in the 1st trimester, I was too sick. In the 2nd, I was too tired...now I'm almost 36 weeks pregnant, and frankly sex is just plain uncomfortable! I can't maneuver easily, and I hate to admit it but a lot of times, I just don't feel sexy! I hope my libido goes back to normal after my son is born.

Answer

Mine has mostly decreased but I have my days when I want it. But being 33 almost 34 weeks pregnant I've dealt with discomfort like swelling.
