19 weeks - no sex drive. Husband worried and not happy.

[Bobblebobble]

Hi

I am 19 weeks pregnant with our first baby and delighted about it. So far pregnancy has been OK- main symptoms are tiredness and occasional breathlessness. Nothing out of the ordinary or really bad. I just have to take it easy at times and get plenty of rest.

One issue I am having is a total loss of sex drive. I just don't feel like it. We haven't had sex since being pregnant and my husband is becoming increasingly frustrated and worried about it. I don't know what to do or if this is normal. A lot of posts on here talk of increased sex drive which is sadly not my experience.

Has anybody else experienced the same? Any suggestions on how to get through this and keep my husband happy? He has been reading articles about people in "sexless marriages" and getting worried that this will be us.

@DogsAndGin To be clear I'm not pressuring anyone into having sex, I was just sharing my opinion. For me I think it's important to have a physical side to a relationship, if you don't think that is important when pregnant that's cool. I'm currently pregnant and can confirm that sometimes I can't be arsed to have sex but when I get on with it I enjoy it and I'm glad I did it and I feel the exact same way about exercising. But just in case my first message wasn't clear to OP if you have a low sex drive that you're okay with that's absolutely fine - your hubby shouldn't pressure you and should be supportive. If you want to make a change for yourself then I recommend just taking the first step towards it.

My wife is 33 weeks. Your husband needs to understand what you're going through. Yeah it's frustrating but frankly, not the end of the world. Sounds like he needs to get a bit of a grip tbh.
