Sorry if TMI,
I am a typical sexual freak, LOL. I do enjoy it. I am married. But these days I have no desire, and if I could get away without it at all, it would be marvolous.
What can I do to to get back into the mood.
Mind you, I still feel pretty confident about my body,just no appeal at all.
Help? Is it because of my horomones?

You didn't say if you were for sure pregnant or how many weeks but for most woman the first trimester is a much decreased interest in sex.... but it usually picks up in the second trimester and then drops again in the third. Go get a book called " what to expect when you are expecting" by Heidi Murkoff. It's the pregnancy bible and will help with all these questions. I refer to it almost daily right now and I am due Feb 2, 2007. Your question as well as many others that you would not expect is in there. It's excellent in describing all of these little things that worry moms and help distinguish when something is "normal" or not.
Good Luck!

When I was pregnant, I was like that until I was almost 6 months along, then I was able to manage once a week or so, but when I hit 8 months or so, it may sound weird, but I was back to my old nympho self, which was actually a good thing, because I wore him out to the point, where he didn't even suggest sex until about 5 weeks after I had my daughter (your not supposed to have sex for 6 weeks or so). We had sex right up to the day I went to the hospital. But yes, it actually is your hormones, or therefore lack of hormones, your too tired and lazy and sore and busy developing a baby to have the energy or left over hormones for sex. Give it a little time and your body will adjust and things will get better, I promise.

This could deffinatly be related to your hormones\pregnancy. I am like you serioulsy active, but when I was pregnant with my boy I had ZERO sex drive for about the first 3-4 months. But sometime after week 20 it all came back for me and I was crazy for it all the time. So I think you should just go with what your body is asking for, this might be its way of saying "I need rest." Every woman is different and just because mine came back during pregnancy does not mean yours will. We change a lot during pregnancy, and sometimes that is the hardest part of dealing with it. It you are still concerend at your next OB appointment ask her\him about it. But don't let anyone pressure you into somthing your really not in the mood for.

Your hormones can change you in any direction.
Sometimes women during pregnancy can't stop having sex,and some just can't face it.
Each pregnancy is very unique. So just because you've been a continual sex freak with your other children, doesn't mean you will be with this one.
Just give it time, it should wear off after the 1st trimester, and if it doesn't, try dressing up sexy, try a new location to have sex or something out f the ordinary.

Your body is going through alot of metabolic and hormonal changes, you failed to mention what trimester you are in. If it is the first then no wonder. Your body is adapting to this miracle of life. You are apt to feel anything at this time. Just hang in there, most women find that in the second trimester, the horomones level out a little more and the sex drive is through the roof. Just tell dad to be, to be patient and try to understand how you feel . It will all be fine. Best of Luck

Yes, most likely. Thats exactly what happened to me. Just be patient with yourself, and tell your partner you need more space. Your desire may come back in the 2nd trimester, but if nothing else you will probably be your old self after you give birth. After all, the baby's hormones are the ones running the show right now. Be warned though, once you give birth you will have little or no time for you and your husband, so if you want it at all now, go for it.

Yes. I am the same way and I just had my baby 2 months ago. I lost every bit of my sexual drive. In fact me and my significante other didn't have sex the last 5 months of my pregnancy. We had it once. But it's been two months since our baby was born and things are back to normal. It's nothing but the horomones. I promise. You will get your drive back after the baby. He just has to understand that.

My husband and I haven't had sex since I found out I was pregnant (11 weeks ago) I feel sorry for him, but the thought of even kissing him makes me feel ill, (like the thought of just about anything!) It is hormones, don't worry. YOu didn't say how far along you are, but it should get better in the second trimester. With my last pregnancy, I couldn't get enough near the end of the second trimester. ( my husband is just waiting for then!!)

I know how you feel. I have a 2 year old and have had no desire since I had him. It split me and his father up because of it. I don't know what has happened. I talked to my doctor and she said to try sex movies or toys or romantic settings to try to get me back into the mood. It has helped a little with him since we are still seeing each other off and on. I noticed that I have no desire to start sex but once the foreplay starts and lasts a little while I start to warm up to the whole sex part. Just try it.
