This is completely normal...... in my 1st trimester i lost interest in sex, because i was tired, irritable, throwing up, felt like crap... the last thing i wanted was to be touched, the 2nd trimester will bring back her want to have sex........ and it's likely she will loose it again for a period in the 3rd trimester, because it just becomes to uncomfortable. Even though she may have lost her sex drive, remember she still needs your love and support, she may need you to just cuddle with her, or give her a back rub. being extremely sensitive to her needs, may help her to help you out sometimes even if she's not that intreasted.

Unfortunately that can be very normal! There are so many things happening in her body and of which one is major hormone changes. These hormones can cause the no desire for sex. This can however change as she gets farther along in the pregnancy, but don't get your hopes up cause there is no gaurantee. It could last anywhere from when the baby is born or it could go clear up to a year after the baby is born. Do keep in mind that the womans body will never be completely the same after having a baby and so that is an emotional adjustment that she will have to make after the baby is born. This change can make the woman feel gross and just not herself. She may not feel sexy and if you don't feel sexy (as a woman) then you don't even want to be touched. You can make sure tha you are affirming her of her looks daily and this will really help in that area. This is very hard as my husband went through it three times. He was just so patient and didn't pressure. I deffinately go my sex drive back though and after our first two were born I wanted it 5-6 times a day. Do keep in mind that every woman is differant. Good luck and congratulations!

It's not unheard of for women to not want sex during pregnancy. It's also common for the man to not want it either. Some cultures have bred us to not disturb the growing fetus with intercourse. However, hormones play a big role in your dillemna. Just be kind to your wife/GF. She's only 6 weeks. Things may turn around as her hormonal balance returns to a closer state of normalcy in the second tri-mester. The "don't touch me" thing is rather extreme. Deal with it. This is your child and your GF is carrying it for you. Talk to your DR. about the mental aspects of pregnancy that she's going through. You will learn alot that will help you get through the next 30 weeks. Treat her like a queen, wiat on her hand and foot. You are blessed with a child. The child comes first.

Yes, this is normal. First, her hormones are not at normal levels. This has a tremendous effect on her sex drive. Also, her body is instinctively trying to protect the developing baby. Conciously or not, she doesn't want the baby churned around like a washing machine while it's inside her. Be patient. This only goes on for a few months. After the baby is born, things will get back to normal. Remember, this was partly your decision, too. You have to deal with it just the same as she does. ( And no, it won't fall off if you have to do without for a while !)

Completly normal,
Sex drive decreases for some during the first trimester and third trimester. For some the sex drives goes back up during the second trimester but not for all.
Remember that the first trimester your gf has alot of hormonal issues going on and that can be a big turn off for her as she doesnt feel like herself at all. Hang in there and try to be supportive. I would suggest getting to know your right hand a little better as you should get used to her not being into it for the next year (off and on off course, there will be times when she doesnt really want it)

She has a lot on her mind, her body is changing rapidly and her emotions are in upheaval. I'm not judging you all one way or the other, but regardless, there's a ton to think about.
She's probably VERY normal and wondering what she has signed herself up for. Being pregnant is scary to any woman --you worry you won't be a good mother, you worry about what happens to your career, you start falling head over heels for this new person ( the baby) who you haven't even seen and wonder if this little person will love you or hate you.
There is tenderness in new places for Mom... Her chest probably aches terribly if you look at her wrong. I'm serious. I was that way, and I'm very affectionate usually. There's something going on deep inside you that you can't watch and you wonder if it's going okay, should I eat chocolate or celery? What if the baby isn't normal? It could be this dorito I'm eating... That's how it was for me... ADD this to her personality and see if it makes sense now... Be patient and supportive of her, as she needs you, she doesn't know what to tell you she needs. Get her a card to tell her you love her and you'll be waiting for her, when she's ready for you. Please be sweet to her, she probably needs your love more than she can explain, but she's not feeling too sure of herself right now.

This is an occasional problem. I'm not sure what is going through your g/f head, but you need to ask her. Sex is not going to hurt her or the developing fetus, but women sometimes feel weird about sex when they first get pg. "Not being touched" is another thing. Are you sure you didn't piss her off about something else? Being kind and nice always works. Give her a massage or a foot rub, and don't expect anything in return. You might be surprised!
EDIT: Who gave me a thumbs down? That was NOT nice. I'm also a Labor and Delivery R.N., have caught plenty of babies and listened to tons of women. Whoever gave me the thumbs down, you can have one right back.

totally normal...but things should be picking up again soon, lots of hormonal changes, tiredness, pressure, possible anxiety of being a mom, as well as morning sickness....and how are you coping with the pregnancy? since she is just a girlfriend, are you acting like a dad would be acting? there could be anxiety in that area for her too, but again, its normal, and things will get back to normal...look out in the third trimester...lol, she'll be the one here asking "I'm in my last stage of pregnancy, and boyfriend doesn't want to have sex, is he finding me unattractive?", of course the part she will leave out is how she wants it 24/7, lol, at least this is how it is for alot of pregnant women, not all, but plenty will know what I am talking about :)

Fazzy C is a noob. Pay no attention to him. It's perfectly normal. The changes in hormones are making her more sensitive to certain things. She will warm up to sex again, likely in the 2nd trimester and if not then, she will after the baby's been born. Congratulations on the baby! xx

She's 6wks pregnant and probably feeling unwell, emotional, hormonal and very sensitive to any advances.
I'm afraid that it can be like this. Just go easy and don't push her for sex. Its not the right time and you'll just make her even more miserable and guilt-ridden for not wanting intimacy right now.
Bear with it, things will change, hopefully for the better, just don't hold your breath!
