Forum 1st trimester

No longer in the mood for sex.

Hi! I’ve read that when you’re pregnant, you often have more desire for sex, but for me, it’s exactly the opposite. So much is already happening with my body that I feel like, “just leave me alone for a bit.” And when I’m lying in bed, I’m so tired that all I want to do is sleep.

I’m actually quite bothered by this because I don’t want to become “that kind of mom” already, hahaha. Does anyone here have experience with this? Will it pass?

Oh, and I’m currently 12 weeks pregnant.

    Hi Angel,

    I have exactly the same thing, no polonaise on my body either. ;-) I'm nine weeks pregnant now. I think it varies from person to person and that the cravings will really come back. Everything is changing in your body now, you feel all sorts of things... I'd say just let it be and don't worry too much about it.

    Greetings, Sabine

    It's said that you often have less desire in the first trimester (me too).. this is often due to fatigue, nausea, etc. After about week 13 (second trimester), this decreases, and you might actually have even more desire again, until you start the third trimester. I have no experience with this yet. :-)

    I had it in the first trimester too, felt more like it in the second, and in the third I just found it a lot of hassle with that big belly etc

    I don't notice anything either that it's getting bigger (tomorrow 18 weeks)...

    I don't mean that I don't feel like it (yet).
    But I'm only 5 weeks along, and it was really painful for me.
    Normally I never have issues with dryness, but now it felt like sandpaper, not very pleasant.

    I hope your desire comes back in your second trimester, and for myself, I hope the pain goes away, because that definitely takes away the mood.

    Never really had any issues with it here. Bibi was up for it, but my husband prefers to keep his hands off me, haha. Hin thinks it's a weird idea and is afraid of hurting me, etc. We did talk about it thoroughly in the end and gave it a try, but he didn't find it that comfortable with my big belly. So we've kept our fingers to ourselves all this time, haha. Now, in my last few days/weeks, I often tell him, "Wait till I give birth, because then you'll see my butt!" and he always laughs and says, "I'm already looking forward to it." We sometimes have pretty funny conversations; you should hear us. But I always tell him he's bringing it on himself by not finding the idea pleasant, etc. I only consider his feelings, hehe.

    But hormones are crazy things, you know.
    Love,
