Tell me about it.. I’m on my 2nd pregnancy and sex drive has been on the extreme lowest of all. My sex drive was also low with my 1st pregnancy. It’s pretty normal to have low sex drive during pregnancy. Just make sure you are still being a wife to your husband like caring for his needs, food, clothes, spend time with him lying beside him and cuddle a bit. When I was pregnant with my 1st, I would do the deed, get it over and done with. Fake or not, doesn’t matter to me. He doesn’t know. Lol. At least once a week. But in 3rd trimester it was at least once a month. Be careful with some husbands when they are not satisfied, they can resort to pornography, or outside pleasure. You don’t want that to happen to you so I hope you make the effort to still do the deed at least once a week. Give him articles to read about sex drive in pregnancy. They’re not wired to understand fully but at least he has some insights. Good luck! ❤️

In my 3rd trimester, altho i think my sex drive is slowing down it is still there but I am so tired to do anything. Like I can't cum if I am not on top of him and I get super tired to even be on top, so I don't enjoy it as much so we seldom do it already because my body ache easily now. Unlike my 1st trimester, I had covid but my sex drive was crazy. My husband was taking care of me, we had sex alot although I was positive and he was not. Now, at 3rd.. I don't even want him to hug me to sleep 🥴

I guess it’s normal but differs with every individual. I’m currently 24weeks along & I’m the total opposite.. HAHAH!! My husband can’t stand me being alone with him 😂 Just do something romantic together instead like small hugs, kisses, cuddling, etc. It is sometimes the intimacy not necessarily sex that husbands craved for. Take care mommy!

That’s my current situation but thankfully my husband has been very understanding. Maybe you can have movie nights or have short cuddle sessions to make him feel less left out and more appreciated. :) It’s not that you don’t love him anymore, but it’s more of a discomfort that you feel. Personal space is important for you too. :)

I think it's normal.. Perhaps explain to your husband that you really can't get into the mood and hope he understands? With our bellies expanding, it really gets uncomfy. Even changing a position is also tough
