It’s just vanished. I’m 23 weeks and we’ve only had sex once during this pregnancy. I am so tired, I have a boisterous 3 year old that ends up in our bed most nights to be honest and work in healthcare so long days too. I feel like we have zero intimacy anymore Sad

Yep same have had sex a couple times in 25 weeks. Have lots of hugs and cuddles but that can be enough I don’t really feel like sex. It’s uncomfortable and I always get thrush now I am pregnant! Bit worried it will be the same when baby arrives too but will try and make an effort at some point a long time in the future Confused

I went off sex during the first trimester mainly due to tiredness, but my hormones seem to have driven it up once I was past 12 weeks. Still fairly limited at 1-2 times a week but that was the same as pre-pregnancy, we have a 3 year old too who is exhausting.

37 weeks and I think we've had sex maybe.. 3 times during this pregnancy? I think it's surprisingly common for the intimacy to stop... it's almost like that part of your body doesn't belong to just you any more so you have to think about it a bit more!

Mine vanished when I was about 6 weeks pregnant and hasn't come back even though my twins are now 1 😂
