Intimacy not enjoyable

I’ve had no sex drive at all throughout this pregnancy, but lastnight I was in the mood. A few seconds in my libido hit the floor and I was almost cringing because I didn’t like the feeling of it at all so we stopped, my partner said it was fine but I’m genuinely worried I’m never going to enjoy it again. I barely want to kiss him but I love him as much as I always have. Could this just be pregnancy? Please say it’s temporary!

Sadly I've had zero libido since my first was born 5.5 years ago...we have three children now. I went to the doctors about it because I didn't want to feel this way and they took bloods to check my hormone levels. I was told I had no testosterone which is probably the reason why my libido is gone. They won't treat it at all because of my age and not being menopausal. So I'm basically stuck 😞.

I had some of this during my pregnancy. Not to the same severity but it went away after the first couple months baby was born. You could always talk to your OB and they can give you a lot more information! They told em a few things that can help but that was almost 3 years ago now. Wish you the best of luck 🤗

I just read the book Come As You Are and now I recommend it to everyone. A good starting point for a lot of this stuff

@Rachel oh really?? Was that a result of your pregnancy? Sorry they won’t help you 😔

@Katelynn I’m hoping it’s just temporary, I don’t want it to come between us in the long run! I’m seeing my midwife in 2 weeks so I’ll see if she can shine a light on it a bit too. Thank you

@Dea ooo I’ll look into that! Thank you.
