Help! My Pregnant Wife Lost Her Libido

When your wife is pregnant, it can be hard enough keeping up with her cravings and holding her hair back during her dreaded episodes of morning sickness. What you didn't bargain for was her loss of sex drive. Fortunately, help is on the way. 

In this instructional sex video, hypnotherapist, psychologist and YourTango Expert Dr. Shoshana Bennett addresses the following question: My wife is newly pregnant and already she's lost her sex drive. Is this temporary or a sign of things to come? How can I help her to understand that sex is an important part of our marriage?

"If this is a reaction to the hormones shifting," says Dr. Shosh, "which is quite normal, her sex drive might return later in the pregnancy. Some women actually experience the highest sex drive in their lives during pregnancy."
