Am I Pregnant - Changes In Libido Typically, your sex drive does tend to be a little lower during the 1st trimester. This is mainly because most pregnancy related symptoms occur at the time of the 1st trimester and often you may well feel too physically unwell or tired to be at all interested in having sex. During the 2nd trimester, your sex drive normally increases, and this is because you may be experiencing renewed vitality and probably some relief at last from morning sickness.

It is quite likely that throughout the 3rd trimester you will again experience a drop in your sex drive as you begin to prepare for the birth (and of course your belly grows).

Symptom Accuracy Changes in Libido Possible

The sudden surge in your blood flow and hormones can affect your clitoris and vagina , making them hypersensitive and perhaps softer. That could mean a libido that's in overdrive for some women, with perhaps multiple and even more intense orgasms, or for some others can be entirely turned of the very thought of sex.

Just remember that whatever mood that you may be in make sure that you communicate to your partner/husband. Its not a good idea to have him feeling rejected or insecure and it may help if he knows whats going on. And remember there are many more ways of being intimate that don't involve sex, e.g kissing , cuddling etc.
