I am 30 weeks pregnant and I have started to find that I am finding it very hard to get aroused or have normal sensation "down there". At first I thought I might have some sort of infection but I don't seem to have any other symptoms, has anyone had this and does it go away after the pregnancy. I am too embarrassed to ask anyone about it and dread the thought that I might have to talk to the doctor or something. I am sorry if this question seems very personal or offensive.

No offence taken. I had a high sex drive while pregnant, but after delivery and breastfeeding It has only just come back (with a friend in tow, my monthly visitor). But a lot of women report a lack of libido while pregnant, some the whole way through, but mostly in the third trimester when you are getting pressure pains from a growing baby and all your energy is going into growing the baby and carrying it around. The baby is putting pressure on your pelvic floor which can wreck sensation to your privates. Plus your hormones are in overdrive, getting your breasts working and preparing for birth.
Please only be concerned if your libido stays gone for more than a few months after delivery. Your husband may have to do small loads by hand *wink wink nudge nudge*
Good luck.

A lot of women find their libidos decrease nearing the end of a pregnancy. The joys of hormones, eh? About a month before I gave birth, I just never felt like it, yet up til that point we were still having sex every night. It's pretty natural to not feel aroused when you're the size of a house! Well, at least that's what you feel like!

This is very common in pregnancy. Probably hormone related plus your baby pressing on your pelvic nerves at this stage. Things will go back to normal after the birth but it may take a little time. Hormones again and as everyone will have told you you will be very tired.

I am also 30 weeks and want NOTHING to do with sex, though it has been this way for at least 10 weeks. It's normal, your hormones are all over the place. Once you have the baby, you will stablize.

As you progress in your pregnancy sometimes,the baby can lie on the nerves,this may be why you cant feel anything,plus all the hormones that are flying around your body can make you loose your sex drive.
If your really concerned talk tou your midwife/GP
