30 weeks pregnant - no sex drive

[Spingroll16]

Just wondered if anyone else had the same! Its been getting me down!

I used to have a very happy healthy sex drive, I'd say probably around 4 times a week. I had no problems with self lubrication. Now since about 25 weeks pregnant, I literally cant get wet at all. Sorry for the horrible descriptions! I still want sex, but it is so disappointing when I cant get wet, and when we've used lube, it is a bit painful!

I've never experienced anything like this before, so I'm grateful for your experiences! Will it return to normal?

I had exactly the same thing in my first pregnancy. Totally normal, it's a hormonal thing that's all. It will go back to normal!

During my last pregnancy I lost the ability to become fully stimulated ( by myself or with DP). Our sex life suffered greatly during my two previous pregnancies due to bleeding when DTD, so there was some anxiety that it would happen again. It didn't happen at all and I thought we could actually enjoy continuing to have sex as normal, but I just couldn't get to climax and was so frustrated I hardly ever wanted to try. Fortunately for me my oh is very understanding and didn't feel like it for fear of making me bleed again.

She's almost nine months now and we're still making up for lost time, and actually do it much more than before.

I assume it's all down to bloody hormones and will return to normal don't worry. I think you hear so much about increased sex drives it makes you worry more, but I also read loads about decreased desire with PND and I have found I need very regular sex to combat it, so I must just be abnormal.

Luckily me DH is understanding and caring about it, but I still feel disappointed. I also have never felt so low in regards to my appearance either, I'm really struggling with stretch marks. Lots of people say that I don't look pregnant, only at the front do I have the obvious bump.

I just feel like a disappointment , not being able to have sex.. Its gone from frequently to now like once a week!

I would have killed for once a week. I think it was a handful of times during the whole pregnancy.

I think everyone feels bigger than they are, I certainly did.

I think it's hormonal. When pregnant with dd I became completely anorgasmic - very strange.

Pregnant with ds, I had a much lower sex drive but could still climax.

It comes back. Congrats on the pregnancy
