I (25F) suddenly feel grossed out by my husband’s (31M) penis and I feel horrible about it

My husband (31M) and I (25F) have been together for years and I genuinely love him. He’s a good husband and father, and this isn’t about him doing anything wrong hygienically or sexually.

The problem is that lately I feel randomly grossed out by his penis and honestly sex in general. Even thinking about it sometimes gives me this weird “ick” feeling and I feel awful because I don’t want to feel this way.

I’m currently 10 weeks pregnant and also only 9 months postpartum from our first baby, so my body/hormones are probably all over the place. I also have Hashimoto’s, which already makes me feel off sometimes. What’s confusing me is that I don’t remember feeling this way during my first pregnancy at all.

I still love cuddling him, being around him, talking to him, etc. Emotionally I still feel attached to him. It’s specifically sexual stuff that suddenly feels uncomfortable or gross to me lately.

Has anyone else experienced this during pregnancy/postpartum? Did it go away? I’m scared this means something deeper even though logically I know hormones can do weird things.

TL;DR: I’m 25F, 10 weeks pregnant, and 9 months postpartum. I love my husband (31M), but lately his penis/sex in general grosses me out and gives me the “ick.” I didn’t experience this in my first pregnancy and I also have Hashimoto’s. Wondering if this is hormonal or if others have experienced this.
