Sex drive and pregnancy

Hi all, 22+2 here and still have very little sex drive - haven't really wanted sex since around 4 weeks (was v. unwell with evening and night sickness 10-17weeks but not prior or post) .

My DH and I had sex today, which don't get me wrong I did enjoy, but I couldn't get close to orgasming despite DH being very attentive to my usual likes and needs. It was almost like I was numb, when I would have expected to be more sensitive?

Anyone else in the same boat, or anyone got any tips to help bring it back a little quicker? If anything I'm now more worried I'm "broken" and can't orgasm even if / when we do have sex!

I'm 21 weeks and feel the same! Me and partner had sex after a whole month and yes I enjoyed it but nowhere near close to finishing! Have you tried masturbating to see if you can orgasm that way? I found I could do it like that for some reason

Sex yesterday was the first time since September so I was also annoyed I didn't orgasm haha.

No I haven't masturbated but in all honesty I've 1. Not wanted sex enough to try, and 2. Even in the past never found myself able to get where I need to be (side note only sexual partner to ever make me orgasm is DH).

Just concerned that the last time we had sex (September) I was 10 weeks pregnant and also didn't orgasm - so wondering if this is a common thing?

No advice but just popping on to say i am in the exact same boat. 32+5 weeks pregnant and I have had a very low sex drive this whole pregnancy. Everything hurts and I can't bear being touched down there because it's far too sensitive, almost painful. I think its fairly normal during pregnancy. Hoping I bounce back to normal after DS is born 🤔🤞🤷🏻‍♀️
