before losing interest.

I don't lose interest in intimacy or physical affection during pregnancy, but sexual feelings wave a peaceful goodbye, except for occasional dreams at specific points (I bet I can predict them, next time, to within a week), and yet I exist. Oops.

I had pretty much the same reaction, though my sexual feelings have ebbed and flowed a great deal during this. I have a real hate on for "Only women who react like me exist".

I was gonna write a cranky blog post about it but hit something that enraged me just before my writey time, so I summarised what I would have written with 'Fuck off, I exist, neener neener neener so there' and went to rant at the infuriating bullshit instead.
