It is very normal. your hormones are changing daily.
Fear is also a big factor for many women.
Aches and pains can also be a factor.
Personally and in reading many women get very sexual around 6 or 7 months due to new growth and weight putting pressure on the urethra and the increased blood flow. The mind thinks it is a sexual response and releases more endorphins.
Also if you had morning sickness it could stop.

It's totally normal. Some women get an increased urge to have sex, but the other half just feel too gross all the time. Don't worry about it. Just make sure that you explain it to your fiance in a nice way without accusing him of wanting it all the time. Of course he's going to be frustrated and disappointed, but give him some alone time so he can look at videos online and stuff. It'll keep him from needing it all the time.
You can also do other things just to keep him content, you know. You don't have to have sex but he'll appreciate it if you just do some stuff to make him finish and then you won't feel guilty. It is necessary to keep a little passion to keep the real frustration away.

I'm 3 1/2 months pregnant with my second child. With my first pregnancy I was ready to go all the time. But with this pregnancy I never want to have sex. My boyfriend doesn't seem to understand this and has attempted several times to have sex with me while I'm asleep, I take a sleeping pill as well as a vitamin for my nausea at night so I don't always feel what's going on. It's hard and he gets frustrated, but I told him my doctor said no sex, I had to be on pelvic rest which is the truth. I just don't understand why men can't think with their right head just once in a while. Good luck.

This was a huge problem for my wife and I both times she was preg. This is hard on us guys as we here all the stories of gals not being able to get enough when they are in the family way but my experience tells me that it may not be that common but it is normal. I just depends on the gal. Now you just need to convince you guy that your relationship is not falling apart.

This is perfectly normal due to hormonal imbalances your libido can go up or down. I did the same thing the first 6months i was pregnant but after that I could not get enough. Well good luck hope this helps

I was the same way with my first pregnancy. I felt really bad about it too but you are going through a lot. Hormones and everything. It will eventually come back. It took a few months after I had my son but it did come back.

That is normal. Your sex drive might come back around 5 or 6 months, or you might just not want sex for the whole pregnancy.
Just make sure you tell him that it isn't him and that you still love him. You don't want him to feel left out.

with my first i always wanted sex and just couldn't get enough, even if we had just done it.
however, this time around i am 38 weeks and have probably only done it 4-6 times, i have no appetite for it what so ever.
it is probably only going to get worse though
