22 weeks pregnant and not wanting sex at all - May 23rd 2010, 01:18 AM

As stated, I'm in my 22nd week, and I know that a woman's libido usually goes up around this time in pregnancy. What's strange is, I couldn't get enough sex in my first trimester, even when I was getting sick.
However, for the past few weeks I cringe every time my fiance touches me. It's like, the thought of sex is appealing, but not actually doing the deed....

Anyone else go through this at this stage in pregnancy?
Did anything help?

I went through it in the first tri.
I basically just dealt with it.. enjoyed just relaxing, you don't HAVE to have sex just because you're pregnant. Everyone's hormones respond differently, I wouldn't try and force yourself into having sex cause that could just end up causing issues later on.
Just enjoy your time, find something else to do until you're completely in the mood.

Having a high sex drive may be the "norm" during pregnancy, but try telling that to your hormones. They will do what they please with you. Everyone is different... there isn't much to do about it.

You say you cringe when your fiance touches you... so I don't know if more foreplay would help. Trying to get yourself going maybe... think dirty thoughts, read dirty novels. Sorry if that didn't help. I never forced myself if I wasn't up for it. I was the pregnant lady, and what I said what how it went lol.

My friend felt the same way. Through most of the last trimester. She would come and rant to me all, "Omg sex is just...no...I don't even want *boyfriend's name* around me anymore. Just ugh!"
So yeah, i'm sure your sex drive will come back eventually. =)


I'll do whatever it takes to be the mistake you can't live without.
