yes, it's VERY normal, and you shouldnt push her into it either.

It's hard to say what is "normal" during a pregnancy, when it comes to sexual desire. Some women have an increase, some a decrease. Some women, especially if it's their first pregnancy, will forgo sex for fear that it will in some way harm the baby. There is usually a drop off in the last trimester, though, as the baby begins to grow because it becomes more uncomfortable to have sex.
When I was pregnant with my son, I was too sick the first trimester to want sex, and too big the last. It was really only in the second trimester that I had any desire at all.

Yes it is normal, you might also find after the baby she will be not want it for a while which is very typical, things will soon return to normal, though. Maybe her bump is preventing her from being comfy during sex, or maybe she is scared of harming the baby by having sex which is also typical of a pregnant woman to think. Have a chat with her about it, but be very understanding with her when you do talk about it

A serious identity crisis happens when you get pregnant. You start thinking of yourself like a mother and that there is a baby inside you. I know it sounds crazy, but at least I kept thinking that it wasn't appropriate to have sex in front of the baby. lol! Then add to it that your hormones are a wreck, you feel like a fat lazy blob and it's no wonder.
And in all seriousness, my brother (who thinks he's funny btw) told me a joke that was completely innapropriate. It was a what's grosser then gross joke. And it involved a pregnant woman and what the baby does when she has sex. I would think of it anytime I was about to have sex and quickly decided against it.
Right now it's about the baby, not you. If you want any shot at all, rub her feet, her back, tell her how beautiful she is and clean the house. These things will give you the best odds.

Yes it is normal, every woman, and every pregnancy is differnent. With the next baby you may not be able to peel her off of you! That being said, she is 7months pregnant. At this point she is miserable, and doesn't feel so attractive either. I don't know what kind of man you are, but tell her how attractive she is, how appreciative you are that she is doing this for you (carrying your child), rub her feet, make her sit with her feet up while you do the dishes. IF you pamper her a little, you may get what you want! If men would learn this sooner, there would be much happier marraiges! For if women get what they want, then men in turn, get what they want. Good luck, and go rub your wife's back, she deserves the pampering!!

YES! And for me here was more than one reason! First, I just didn't have a sex drive while I was pregnant. Second, I felt really uncomfortable with my body (it's kind of hard to feel sexy when you gain that much weight that fast). And last, it really wasn't all that comfortable because your stomach gets in the way, your back hurts, and physically you become drained. When you wake up all night long because you have to pee, and then have to lug around 30 extra pounds all day, all you really want to do is go to sleep!

I completely understand your wife's situation. I'm 9 months pregnant and I've had my ups and downs with wanting or not wanting sex this entire pregnancy. She should get her sex drive back but it might go back down again, too. Just be patient with her.

Yes.
Don't take it personally at all. You may find this for awhile after the baby is born. Again, it's a physical matter and women are tired and stressed. If she has your loving support she will be more loving to you as soon as she is able.
A child will take up her time and thoughts........it's all normal and women don't mean to not give their husband the same attention. The Mother role is so strong she isn't aware .......usually. The more her needs are met, the more she will probably meet yours.

lol that is alot of women. My first pregnancy I think for atleast 7 months we didn't have sex... same with my second.. but my third I am always wanting sex...so it just depends on the woman. But it doesn't mean she doesn't desire you... just her hormones are acting up and she doesn't feel sexy or desirable... so its not your fault... just want you to understand that...
