Not interested in sex at all

I am 6 weeks pregnant with my second baby and since I fell pregnant I basically have not been interested in sex at all I have tried one I just couldn't be bothered with it I feel terrible for my fiancé telling him no all the time but I seriously just don't want to do!

Is this normal and will my sex drive come back at all?

Is it just tiredness?

I’m 26 weeks pregnant this week and since finding out at 6 weeks, my sex drive disappeared off the face of the earth. I feel bad for my fiancé too but I’m just too paranoid about having it & I’m not feeling it either. I think some peoples bodies go crazy and want sex all the time & others just “dry up”. Truthfully, I feel too icky with the discharge, belly in the way, tiredness, I don’t think I’d have the energy if I tried

My sex drive disappeared at 6 weeks too.
Hasn't shown its face since... 32 weeks now.
And we used to have a great sex life. Daily thing.
Pregnancy hormones are wild...
It was hard at first for DH. He felt unwanted and a little depressed as it was quite a sudden big change. Then understood it is not him... and got used to the event taking place very rarely. He is looking forward to getting back to normal...

I just don't know if it ever gets back to normal.
So following....

Same here.

I am 11 weeks pregnant and sex drive is basically zero.

I think it is fairly common in the first few weeks/months to not want to do it at all due to the pregnancy hormones. Have to say in the latter half of pregnancy with me it went the opposite way!

I'm 20 weeks and mine went south nearly the second of conception. It was the same last time when I had DD but came back when my periods returned 5 months pp. I do feel a little sorry for DH but it's just one of those things and we do have a strong marriage thankfully. There are some men who go right off it when their partners are pregnant and other women who can't get enough it's just sods law that you end up marrying someone in the opposite camp to you.

Same here, 12 weeks in.
