Is there something wrong with me?

Is it normal to have little to no sex drive at the end of pregnancy. I’m currently 37 weeks on the 8th and have had absolutely no sexual desire now. It’s slowly decreased over the past month or two. Is that normal? My fiancé has an extremely high sex drive and I feel bad cause i always say no but not only is it uncomfortable now cause my belly but also I have no libido. And he gets upset after a while and can sometimes be pushy even after consistent no’s which gets irritating.

I answered no, because there's nothing wrong with you. Some people might be answering yes, because you also ask "is that normal" in your post, which it is.

@Raqi I clicked yes reading from the title No There’s nothing wrong with you , Yes It’s normal

It is normal not to. I mean you have almost a complete mini human inside all you are thinking about is when that human is going to leave your body 😅

Your poll might need to be edited. You are asking two different questions that require different answers 😃. No , there is nothing wrong with you. Yes, it’s normal to have no sex drive at the end of pregnancy

To clarify I just want the headline question answered via poll, because that’ll tell me whether it’s normal or not.

Sorry incog, only just saw your last comment and voted yes for it's normal. Lots of hormonal shifts going on, plenty of things to think about, preparing for labour soon and everything else that comes with being so far gone, being uncomfortable, etc. Definitely need to get that last part sorted though. I absolutely won't accept that kind of behaviour from any man. I usually meet mine halfway and give oral. It keeps us both in a healthy place and we know it's not for forever.

@Nilda no but literally tho. I tell him that and the fact that I just can’t get comfortable and I’m achy and we obviously know we’re close to labor in one facet or another but then he still pushes for oral🙄 Which in turn irritates me more

@Kim I have horrible gag reflexes and can usually push through but I don’t like it unless I’m suuuper into our intimacy sessions. But my first trimester nausea has come back in waves and my sex drive is pretty much in the negatives in all facets. I was meeting halfway there for a while but I’m 3.5 weeks away from popping her out and just have no interest. And I already told him I definitely won’t for a long while after she’s here (3-6mo) until my pelvic and vaginal region (or should I have a c section then that to) is fully recovered.

He's gross for pushing you to perform sexual favors for him when you're not interested. He's got two hands and can take care of himself for now. If you wanna make things interesting for him, you can get him a sex toy like the Tenga Egg. Remind him you can't wait to connect again sexually when you're ready

Completely understandable incog and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Our bodies do their own things when we're pregnant and a lot of it is out of our control and absolutely think he can wait for you to feel comfortable and ready. I'd honestly hate having sex with my partner if I knew I had to push him for it, it would make me feel really gross and icky. He has hands I'm sure he can help himself when needed to give you the time you need to rest, birth and recover.

I also voted “yes” for yes it’s normal. You’re growing a whole ass human. It takes energy to blink let alone even THINK about sex.

Yes it is very normal, I think I lost mine around second trimester, and in the third it’s been -10 lol. I feel heavy, my boobs feel awful and I just don’t like right now the feeling of my husband touching me, every pregnancy is different but I think is just your body “protecting” or preparing for baby and just the baby, thats how I see it at least!

We literally had sex like 3 times throughout my whole pregnancy because I was so ill and felt like shit - my partner completely respected that and didn’t pressure me to do anything, neither should your partner!

i voted wrong too but there’s nothing wrong with you at all!! your fiance needs to be more understanding, it’s really messed up to be pushy about it. if he’s that desperate he can take care of himself! i would remind him that you’re gonna have to wait awhile after baby comes, and he needs to accept that

Shoot I meant to say no. I’ll be 37 weeks as of the 8th too! I got a 7lb baby in me and I have a hernia and it’s killing me my whole body hurts I sleep maybe 2 hours back to back before waking up in some pain. Or my thighs hurt or spine and I told my husband I just can’t right now this baby is hurting my body so bad. He has a highhhh sex drive he will be 31 in may but sex drive of a 17 year old🤣🤣 he still asked I still say no and he just says let’s get this baby out 🤣🤣 I’m having my boy via scheduled c section on the 15th hoping it’ll relieve some pain and figure out when they will fix my hernia

He also knows he’s got his own way of getting the relief he needs and is super understanding but still tries with kisses and hugs and words letting me know he’s w attractive he finds me. He always makes me feel so good about myself and is very affectionate even though it’s been a minute

I’m re not clear what is yes and no for … so I said yes it’s normal Or at least this how I felt

Voted Yes for its normal
