Yep, it's normal. Pregnant women can be very very horny or dead serious about not being in the mood. Your hormones and body are a bit out of whack while you are caring your child so it's to be expected - your libido will recover! :)

I never want to have sex when I'm pregnant either, so I hope it's normal. During the first trimester I actually felt sick whenever my husband kissed me or touched me in an intimate way. That would have been impossible to explain, so I never said anything about it.
My husband thinks it's because I think I look fat and he's always telling me how pretty I am, but that's not it. I just don't want to. I do it for him because I want him to be happy, but it's really hard to force myself to be into it. Plus, my husband is one of those over-sensitive guys who always takes it personally when I don't want to have sex, so I'd rather just have the sex and skip the drama. It's hard, though. I've found myself dreading putting our older child to be because, 4 or 5 nights a week, my husband will immediately start pressuring me about sex.
He's really great about every other aspect of me being pregnant, but he just doesn't understand or accept the sex thing for some reason.

yah forsure i started feeling not in the mood around 8 months i think we did have sex once after the 8 month mark and it just felt really uncomfortable ...so that was it ...some women have the same feelings after giving birth that can last a long time apprently ...and then you hear about women having sex a few weeks later ...it all depends ...don't have sex save it till after baby is born it will be so much more enjoyable (you wont be worried about hurting baby and what not) ...until then give him a bj or something to pleasure him

My daughter is almost 15 months old and I STILL am not in the "mood". It started when I was about 3 months pregnant and I have just not wanted to since. Of course my husband is not happy about it.. and I've tried to "make myself get in the mood" but it doesn't work. Good luck to you and hopefully both of our "moods" will change!

I'm the same way. Other posters on here say how they have sex everyday and I think how? I have no energy and it just isn't something I feel like doing. Every pregnancy is different but I had one time, this week actually, where I wanted it and it was more about a connection with my man than the act. Otherwise I have been very hands off.

Very. Your sex drive can either go up or down during pregnancy. But honestly, who wants to have sex at 8/9 months pregnant? You're bigger then normal and just plain uncomfortable.

so normal......it gets uncomfortable and sometimes less enjoyable for us while we are pregnant. Some women can't get enough of it, but i am very much like you.....I am 30 weeks pregnant with my 2nd, and i don't want to have sex already because his head is right down and frankly by the time you get comfy and start enjoying it they are finished!! (sorry men, but it's true). Luckily i have a very understanding fiance who is very patient with me and being our 2nd he can understand because we have been through it once already and he knows how uncomfortable and painful it can be from last time.
Hopefully your boyfriend is just as understanding. But yep, this is totally normal feeling this way, especially at your stage now.

Completly normal. I have been the exact same as you. I have had no sex drive since i was about 13weeks pregnant, it decreased and decreased over the course of my pregnancy. I am 40weeks now and still have no urge for sex, the thought of it makes me hot and tired and i dont feel the need at all. But tell hubby not to worry, its nearly over :)

yes!! What is normal anyway!
Every woman is different and you shouldn't feel presurised in having sex if your not in the mood. It must be pretty uncomfortable at 8 months pregnant, so stop worrying and just relax and look forward to having your baby!!

Um..yea, you are totally normal! Who wants to do that when they feel like an over-inflated water balloon? Your hormones are changing drastically and being that far along makes a woman tired, too. Yes you are normal. I hope the boyfriend understands! Here is a good website that explains why you don't feel that desire anymore:
