Question:
I am 23 yrs old. I've been married for 2 yrs., and currently 10 weeks pregnant. Almost eversince I new about my pregnancy, I lost my sex drive. I the last 1-2 weeks I've have some but every time I'm arround my husband ..I sort of don't want to get into it my libido is gone. Even the few times we tried to have sex, I either was not lubricated or I was but lost it and dried up in the middle of making love...it'sreally frustrating. I'm not stress nor depressed and I'm happily married. Please help me enjoy my sex life again. PS: I use to have an active sex life w/ my husband before. sometimes we did it every day in the week!

Dear Madam, This is perfectly normal. While some women have an unaltered libido with pregnancy, many do experience what you say. Some even do not bear the smell of the husband (and I am sure he does not 'smell' but I mean the masculine smell. Rest assured it will not continue for long, and until then, do not force yourself, and do not feel guilty. Your husband does understand.
