Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

To each her own: Some women do not have a strong sex drive during pregnancy. Others have the highest sex drive of their life during pregnancy. Everyone is a little different. As long as you and your sexual partner communicate your needs and desires then things should be ok.
