Is it normal to not want to be intimate while pregnant?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. Pregnancy can change your interest in intimacy, and it’s normal for desire to fade, fluctuate, or stay the same.

Pregnancy can bring fatigue, nausea, discomfort, body changes, and worries that leave you with little interest in sex or other intimacy. Hormonal changes can affect desire too, and there’s no single “normal” level of wanting it.

You don’t have to be intimate when you don’t want to. If you have a partner, it can help to talk about what feels comfortable—whether that’s cuddling, other kinds of closeness, or taking a break. If you have pregnancy-related concerns about what’s safe for you, ask your prenatal care provider.
