Just out of curiousity....do alot of women, when they are pregnant, want to have sex or don't? I'm at the stage where I really don't want to. Not that I don't love my boyfriend but it's just because well I don't.....am I weird?

Not weird at all. Usually the 2nd trimester is the "honeymoon" phase. Women glow and feel pretty good generally (morning sickness has lessened) and around that time, hormones race and women may feel more amorous. This can change around 27 weeks (around the 3rd tri) and sex becomes one of the last things on your mind.
Everyone is different and some women don't want to at all right from the beginning of their pregnancy and some enjoy sex right up until they deliver but be assured...what you're feeling is very very normal. :)

I think anyone pregnant can agree that you are not weird. Although sex is normal in pregnancy, sometimes it's not as appealing as it once was. As long as you're not having complications, you can have sex throughout your entire pregnancy, unless your doctor tells you to stop. Sex is a 50/50 thing during pregnancy, it's not for everyone, for a number of reasons. Some women, due to the surge in hormones, do not want to have sex because they are either experience morning sickness, or they just do not have the urge to do so. I think anyone in a loving relationship with their partner would like to keep the physical relationship going during pregnancy, but it is sometimes hard. You need to talk to your partner and ensure them that you still care but at the same time, help them understand what you are going through. Keep in mind that every trimester is different and your body is constantly changing during these 9 months. If this trimester you don't feel very sexual, then maybe make time for your partner so he does not feel left out. If you have the urge to have sex, do it before it's too late. Once your belly starts growing it's a little more difficult to position yourself in ways that you once could, but it's still a loving, intimate time with your partner, which is very important.

It is not strange at all to go one way or the other. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I couldn't get enough sex. My husband was almost tired of me! When I was pregnant with my son, my sex drive did decrease quite a bit. Just take it day by day. Some days it was frustrating for my husband. But sometimes waiting a week or so made the sex worth it because by then, I actually wanted it... and he was very ready to have it! Just be honest with your partner. As long as he understands the situation, things will go a lot smoother. Just make sure that he understands HE is not the reason why your sex drive is a little low right now. There are a lot of things going on in your body. Good Luck!

You are not weird, all women are different. Some women don't feel like it at all for the whole pregnancy, some women feel quite frisky for the whole pregnancy and some are a mix. Your man may feel a little put off and will not understand your hormones, so even if you don't feel like sex, give him lots of other physical affection and explain it to him. Allow him to try sometimes, explain that you will need lots and lots of foreplay and let him surprise you, you may end up more into than you thought you were going to be. Best wishes, and congrats on the baby.

Not weird at all. I think it's common for women to not want to have sex in the first trimester. Morning sickness, exhaustion, etc. Some women get more of a sex drive in the second trimester, but not all. And in the third trimester, it can be uncomfortable b/c of your belly in the way. So nothing in pregnancy is "normal" so just do what feels right for you!
Good luck!

I used to have sex with my husband like 5 times a week but ever since I got pregnant I don't want to any more. I am still very attracted to him it's just I don't have any desire to have sex. I am now 23 weeks pregnant, and my sex drive comes back some days.

I do but then again I dont. LOL I am 28-29 weeks along and I have noticed that if I do have sex, I get these horrible braxton Hicks right after I have an orgasm. I asked my doc and he said it was because your brain releases oxytocin during an orgasm and it is the same chemicle in Pitosin which is what is used to speed up delivery. So now that I know that... I dont want to have sex anymore.... but I am still human and get the urge every now and then.... :)

I went through the same thing...first trimester I just had NO interest whatsoever....now in the second trimester I can't get enough of my husband... he is thrilled to say the least!! I remember being like this when I was pregnant with my son...then the third trimester I was back to "don't touch me"!! Good luck!!
