No desire for sex

Hi ladies!
Since I've been pregnant, I've just had absolutely no desire for sex at all!
To please my husband, I do give in every now and then.
I had actually hoped that this would increase again in the second trimester.
Maybe it's also because I'm still very tired.
But I was wondering if there are more ladies here who struggle with this!?
And if so, do you still have sex at all?

    Hey!
    That's nice of you to reply, I thought I was the only one haha.
    It's probably also a pretty heavy topic for some people haha.
    I do read about it sometimes, but no one really talks about it, so I was just wondering if it's really just a pregnancy-related issue.

    I think so. One person gets more into it, and the other person doesn't at all. How's your pregnancy going otherwise?

    I have it too, I'm now 19 weeks.
    I haven't had sex with my partner for all this time.
    A lot of women experience that.

    Yeah, I really can't complain about my pregnancy.
    I'm really tired, and that's basically the only annoying symptom I've had left at 18.4 weeks.
    So I can definitely pat myself on the back! I've been working less since last week, going from 5 to 3 days a week, and that's actually working out really well.
    Only yesterday I had the feeling he was constantly dancing on my bladder—it hurt quite a bit, hahaha. But I still don't feel him from the outside or really kicking yet.
    Oh wow, anonymous, no sex at all—I don't think my partner could handle that; he'd probably go crazy, I guess. I could totally handle it though, because for me it's not a big deal anymore. But you know, it's their second one, right?

    I'm actually glad to read this because my libido has pretty much disappeared too. Before, I had to chase him, and now I have to push him away (figuratively). The annoying thing for him is that he finds me incredibly sexy with my round belly and huge boobs. Well, every now and then I give in because it's pretty rough for him too, and in the end, it's always nice anyway. But he just needs to push through it!

    With me it's all over the place... or rather, when I do feel like it, my husband is at work, and by the time he gets home I'm tired

    And then there's the thought of how long he'll have to wait after the birth, haha, so I'm trying to make myself feel like it now

    Hahaha, same here Wendy! I don't get it either, but yeah, my husband doesn't care whether I have a bulging belly or not.
    But honestly, I can't really enjoy it – climaxing is really hard.
    And yeah, what mamaN said is sometimes true, but then he's at work haha, and by the time he's home, I've really lost all my energy for it.
