I was afraid something was wrong with me because this is my first pregnancy and I’m repulsed by just the thought of anything sexual. I can’t even handle seeing others kiss. And I feel so bad for my husband because he thinks I’m just losing interest in him. I totally understand what you’re going through and it’s good to know that it’s pretty normal to feel like this while pregnant. That there’s nothing wrong with me and that I’m not a seriously messed up person.
