Patient's question:
I just got pregnant for a month, and my husband keeps wanting to have sex. I don't feel anything at all. Is it normal to have a lack of libido during the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is normal to experience a lack of libido in the early stages of pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, hormone levels decrease, and the body cannot recover in a short period of time. It is common to experience multiple symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, sleepiness, nausea, vomiting, and a lack of appetite for dinner, which are typical early pregnancy reactions. When the body frequently experiences early pregnancy reactions, it can be quite painful, leading to a lack of libido during sexual activity. It is generally not recommended to have normal sexual activity in the early stages of pregnancy to avoid the risk of miscarriage.
