Sex during pregnancy?

[PFin]

I dont know if anyone else is in my boat buy the thought of sex right now actually makes me feel digusted. Im 16 weeks, feel gassy, bloated, sometimes constipated, frumpy and all together not at all attractive. My husbands kind about it but i think hebis getting slightly annoyed but i want him to see im not the only one?? Am i??

Nope not on your own! I'm 30 weeks pregnant and we've had sex about three times and I wasn't really into it (once was his birthday, another time was our anniversary and one was random during the early stages) I think it's completely normal, at 30 weeks my belly, back and everything hurts, I don't really fancy getting in a awkward position so my husband can do it haha some women may be different though but I think it's fairly common

Yeah me too. I felt bad at first as everyone says sex drive increases in pregnancy but I just don't feel like I need it. I'm not grossed out by it, just don't want it. 24 weeks and only had sex once since conception. I know we need to start at it again because otherwise we will get into bad habits

You are definitely not the only one! I'm 28 weeks now and I'd say me and DH have had sex maybe 5 times since I found out I was pregnant. My morning sickness was horrendous and didn't go away until about 16-18 weeks so I obviously wasn't in the mood. Now I'm just tired! I do feel bad for him but he isn't pushy and he would never get annoyed over it, he's been really supportive throughout and I genuinely wouldn't have got through the sickness part without him. Pregnancy is hard enough without the added stress and worry of having sex when you don't want to! I'm in a couple of groups on FB a for people due at the same time as me and I've read a lot of posts saying similar.
I hope you start to feel better soon

I'm 30 weeks and we managed a half attempt when I was around 14 weeks it was a disaster. We'd had a scare with the baby before 12 weeks and I think it's put us both off trying. He seems fairly happy and is more concerned about me and the baby being comfortable. I'm hoping it will get back to normal at some point but who knows what our new normal with a newborn will be like

It’s very normal for sex drive to take a dive in pregnancy. My husband and I haven’t had a lot of sex because I’ve been so uncomfortable (PGP alone with general pregnancy discomfort).

Your husband is unreasonable to get annoyed. It’s not forever, and you’re literally making his baby.

Same! 14 weeks and we've done it about 4 times. I've been too sick, too tired, and I've had a UTI for over 3 months. Not a combination conducive to romance!

Yep! All you hear is how your sex drive is through the roof during pregnancy but I'm the complete opposite (23 weeks). I feel bloated, tired and uncomfortable the majority of the time. Don't feel bad, it's completely normal and I'm sure you'll get back to it when you feel like it!

Hubby would never say anything but he's just a bit like whatever about it now lol he has a looooong was to go. But thanks ladies glad im not the only one.

I found I got a huge surge in sex drive from mid to late pregnancy. I had never orgasmed so easily either. But at the beginning, nope, not horny and was repulsed by my partner, his smell, everything.

My sex drive has taken a little bit of dive since being pregnant, we still DTD about 3 times a week which I appreciate is still a huge amount for some people, but for us, considering we used to DTD every day before becoming pregnant, it's less than half of that now. I think it's normal!

I didn't fancy sex during pregnancy either so you are not alone. We 'did' it occasionally and were generally caring towards each other which was more important. It will all come back later on, don't worry about it now.

It was the last thing on my mind during pregnancy, but it all came back around six weeks after the birth when I'd healed properly.
