1st Trimester - Zero Sex Drive

ShiningStar1990 · 19/04/2022 21:39

Ladies... Please advise. Did your sex drive just drop when you were in your 1st trimester?
This is my second pregnancy, I don't remember if it dropped in my first pregnancy.

My partner thinks it's him and my lack of sex drive is causing tension.
If this is the case, did you just ride it out and explain this to your partner and not have sex or did you just push yourself to because sex right now is just not the same as before I was pregnant, im just not getting the same pleasure as I did before. Also if it's hormones etc how long does it take for sex drive ti increase again. Im currently 9 weeks pregs.
Aaahhh help me out PLEASE...

Thank you xx

I was throwing up regularly at 9 weeks, sex was the last thing on my mind !
I know I had sex earlier on in my first pregnancy, but don’t think I did in subsequent ones.

Try not to worry too much, I had no sex drive at all for my entire first trimester. My hormones were all over the place, I felt so sick all the time, there’s no way I’d have wanted to do anything.

It picked back up a few weeks into the second trimester but now I’m well into the third it’s gone again 🤦‍♀️

Don’t put pressure on yourself, It’s perfectly normal not to be in the mood at this stage and your partner needs to understand that!

I was absolutely like this in my 1st trimester during this pregnancy. I didn't want my husband near me ! I felt awful and guilty, but it did get better in the 2nd.

Now being in my 3rd I sometimes feel the same , but thats mostly due to having a bump and o just feel a bit self conscious personally.
