Hello all, if this is the wrong place to ask this i'm very sorry and please move it to the correct spot or lock and I will repost in the correct spot.

I just had a quick question about libido while pregnant, my fiance is 8 weeks pregnant and shes always so tired (completly understandable). I was just wondering, will her sex drive go back to normal after the first trimester, or the opposite, just curious. It was from very constant to once a week or less. I'm not complaining, i'm really just trying to get the the point of, will she get her energy back or is she going to be tired for the next 7 months or so? Lol

any replys would be lovely, thanks again. Embarassed

It depends. Some women's sex drives go down wehn preggo and does not return to normal untill the child is 18 and out of the house.!! -lol

but seriously, it all depends. She may regain her desire in the 2nd or 3rd tri or it may be way after the baby comes. Most women are so tired when raising a kid that sex is the furthest thing from our mind.

Her energy should go back up in the 2nd tri, but will probably drop in the 3rd again.

Ah well, thats ok. I'm here to support her in every way I can and if she doesnt want to have sex, we won't

it's not that I didn't know why she was so tired, I just wanted to make sure it wasnt something uncommon. Which I also pretty much knew, just feels better to hear it from someone else and not just in your own mind.

Appreciate it.

We are, 18 and 19. However, i'll be 20 when the baby comes. We're getting married march 23'rd. We're both ecstatic.

Shes due sept 17'th. (just a guess from a pregnancy clinic)

is it bad that she hasn't had a gyno visit yet (8 weeks pregnant) ? Ive been stressing that she needs to schedule an appointment, but she hasnt yet, she had some problems with insurance or whatever. Since we are getting married she can't be on her parents, so she had to get her own plan.

Make sure she calls the docs to get an appt, they may not schedule her for one for about a month anyway.

She needs to start taking pre-natal vitamins and folic acid. If she does not know how much, talk to the pharmacist.

I'm glad you are both so happy. Best of luck!!

it must be the iron in them, she can maybe take some prenatals with less or without iron. I took mine without iron, but had to start supplementing with iron in the 2nd tri cause of an iron deficiency I have. Ask a doc or pharmacist first though what she should do as i'm not a doc.

My pharmacist became my best friend while pregnant. Also you guys must have some sort of health line you could call.
