Is it normal to have no libido in the first trimester?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—having little or no libido in the first trimester is very common. Hormone changes, nausea, fatigue, and feeling generally unlike yourself can all put sex on the back burner.

Your body is doing a lot, and between nausea, exhaustion, breast tenderness, and shifting hormones, sex may sound about as appealing as running errands. Some people feel more interested in sex during pregnancy; others lose interest, especially early on. Both are normal.

There’s no “right” amount of desire, and you don’t need to push yourself. Libido may change later in pregnancy, or it may not—and either way is okay. If you have a partner, a simple conversation about what feels comfortable can help take the pressure off.
