Hi people !

I found out i was pregnant around 8 wks ago and since then , me and my husband havent had sex. He is obviously up for it but i'm not, i honestly cant be bothered.

Up to 12 wks pregnant, i was feeling awful all of the time but now i feel better so i think my husband is expecting some action and i'm not !!!!

Do you think this is normal ? Any suggestions ?

This is very normal, some women go compleely off sex when pregnant, some women crave it more. Its probably all to do with hormones babe. Talk with dh and just explain to him that you dont have a high sex drive. Tell him that your body is going through major hormonal and physical changes at the moment, but it doesn't mean you love him any less. You never know you drive may come back at some point throughout your pregnancy. We are all entitled to have off periods hehe I'm not pregnant and I certainly have my fair share hehe

Ta ! I think i will make an effort to get in the mood but to let him know that it's not going to be as regular as he will hope for !

He's been really good, he's not been asking me or anything but im sure he will soon.

If you want to get in the mood maybe try going back to basics. Petals in the bath, candles, maybe get him to wash you or just sit with you in the bath. Lots of cuddles and effection (hair stroking on the sofa). Soft lighting in the bedroom, new bedding... have fun

I agree - a lot to do with hormones...and how you are feeling too! You could wake up tomorrow and find it's come back with a vengence! lol

Do make sure dh pampers you anyway....a wee bit of TLC goes a long way!

I found it hardest when I was pg the first time.  Dh running round making sure I was fine etc etc, put me off more than it turned me on! lol (I know way tmi for most) However just having the energy for it, was enough sometimes.
