Does pregnancy increase sex drive?

Question

My husband and I have noticed a change in my libido since I became pregnant. I actually feel more interested than before. Is it common for pregnancy to increase sex drive in some women?

Ritika Goel · Accepted Answer

It really depends on the trimester because of the fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels. My doctor explained that increased blood flow to the pelvic area during the second trimester often boosts drive, while the first trimester exhaustion does the opposite. It is completely normal to experience both highs and lows.

Changes in your drive are common, but you must be careful if there are any complications like bleeding or pain. It is extremely important to get a green light from your doctor to ensure everything is safe for the baby.

Don't blindly believe everything you read on forums or random blogs about pregnancy symptoms. If you have concerns about physical intimacy or feel any unusual discomfort, it's always best to ask your gynaecologist directly during your next scan.

From what I've heard from my married cousins, hormones go totally wild during this phase. Some days they are super energetic and other days they just want to sleep all day. It seems like a complete rollercoaster, honestly!

Rahul Verma · Answer

Yes, it absolutely can increase for some women, while others feel too tired. Both situations are totally normal.
