Now... Uh, GROSS!) That makes me paranoid about him touching me, with the increased risk of UTIs, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172743 Tue, 29 May 2012 19:45:16 +0000 MsMamaBear 172743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st trimester, it was high, 2nd, mild 3rd- nonexistant. I was too big to move and he wanted me to do stuff before I had a buge weight in front of me. Not gonna happen.LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172668 Tue, 29 May 2012 18:49:12 +0000 chrispygal 172668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol, love all the responses! In the beginning, my drive was non-existant and late in the 1st trimester/early 2nd trimester it got kicked into SUPER high gear and honestly, it was incredible! Some of the best ever! Then almost as quickly as it came back it left once again and I have hardly any interest. Well, I may have some interest but it's really challenging and too much work for me now. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172569 Tue, 29 May 2012 17:16:03 +0000 HLK208 172569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had sex probably 3-4 times a week during the first trimester and then almost every day during the second trimester but once the third hit...nothing. It started hurting me (painful Braxton Hicks) so we just stopped kind of. It's been a month since we've gotten busy so we'll probably try soon since I'm due in a little over a week lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172541 Tue, 29 May 2012 17:00:23 +0000 HabesBabe 172541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: LOL!!! it's not even worth it if you don't get any enjoyment out of it! </p> <p>I keep telling myself I need to get a virbrator (I know, I'm almost 30 and I don't have any toys... so vanilla), but I keep forgetting. I guess I'm not really in the mood if I can't even bother to take care of myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172513 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:30:25 +0000 chopsuey 172513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I did it til the end with #1 and I was 2 days late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172512 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:30:06 +0000 chopsuey 172512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get barfy at night, but DH isn't a morning kind of guy! We've only done it like 3 times since I found out I was pregnant 6 weeks ago! HAHA. Things will probably pick up once I get past the nausea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172505 Tue, 29 May 2012 16:16:58 +0000 sorrycharlie 172505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>every time we do, it's so uncomfortable for me! Only thing that works is me propped on a million pillows on my back..and I don't even get any enjoyment out of it. Haha. I have to finish off later on, or have him finish me later. Such a pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172437 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:22:14 +0000 littlek 172437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't at all. I had CVS testing and bleeding in the first trimester so DH was paranoid we would hurt the baby. I told him it's go time once we hit 37 weeks though... it's been tooooo long...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172413 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:08:16 +0000 HabesBabe 172413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never bone anymore :( Hubs knows that he's not going to hurt the baby or anything, but it just weirds him out that there's a baby in there and he doesn't feel comfortable getting busy. LOL. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172410 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:06:49 +0000 sandy 172410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow...so jealous of you ladies! My poor husband was so deprived bc it was just too uncomfortable for me and I had zero sex drive throughout my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172408 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:06:03 +0000 Lozza 172408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First trimester, I spent 100% of my time and energy on barfing or trying to not barf. I don't remember sex, but it's possible DH slipped it in while I was busy focusing on not-barfing.<br /> Second trimester? Hoo boy. I think I probably now have a pretty good understanding of what it's like to be a 15-year-old boy. One stiff wind, and I was ready to go. Heck, even the memory of the stiff wind 30 minutes later had me ready to go. I could seriously have done it like 8 times a day at that point. I think DH was terrified. And exhausted. And probably relieved when I went back to being nauseous, with only intermittent sex breaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172386 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:56:24 +0000 MsLipGloss 172386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsWagon: I am counting the weeks . . . and hoping that DH will give in at least once before the birth. Even though it's been tough, and I do flirt with him and flash him occasionally, I have tried to be cooperative and respectful of the decision because he is genuinely concerned (and I don't want to add guilt to that concern), and it can't be all about me all the time. I'm curious if we will make it to the end, too . . . I am (only!) 26 weeks this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172364 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:49:40 +0000 mediagirl 172364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: DANG! Lucky girl.</p> <p>My sex drive went from 100 to -1 when I got pregnant. Poor husband. We had some last week and I think he was absolutely floored that I instigated. Poor thing was so lacking, he forgot we actually COULD have sex. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172360 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:46:37 +0000 mrs. wagon 172360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: that's pretty similar to us too! I didn't have pre-term contractions but I've had a lot of pain, and a cervical check gave me spotting for the first time ever in both pregnancies, so I think both of us have put me on pelvic rest. We've only got a month and a half to go, I'm wondering if we should just abstain til after the baby or not...! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172350 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:40:45 +0000 MsLipGloss 172350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted *0* because after a pre-term contraction scare at 22 weeks, DH put me on pelvic rest! He was so worried about the trip to L&amp;D (although my contractions/ spotting had nothing to do with us having sex) that now that he knows sex can cause spotting (thanks Doc *lesigh*), he not interested in being the cause of any additional trips to the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172347 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:38:14 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 172347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: that's amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172345 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:36:46 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 172345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it nearly EVERY SINGLE DAY after my nausea went away. All the way up until I delivered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172343 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:36:34 +0000 heffalump 172343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't do it much during the first and second trimester becauase I always had a migraine. But 3rd trimester I was migraine free so that was fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172341 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:35:41 +0000 mrs. wagon 172341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: lol. dood. That's pretty AWESOME! It's happened to me a few times, but I've never woken up in the middle. Usually right after. The mind is a powerful thing... heehee ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172335 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:34:24 +0000 lovehoneybee 172335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Lol yeah, that means what you think it means. I wake up mid-orgasm, and my hands (and DH's hands) are no where near my lady bits. It's pretty awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172298 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:19:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 172298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: Mine was like that too in the beginning, probably because I was so tired from gettnig sick all day! When it finally came back, we were restricted from getting busy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172289 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:13:59 +0000 hellobeeboston 172289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh... my sex drive PLUMMETED once I got pregnant. it's gotten a little better in the second trimester, but it has mostly vanished - it's crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172287 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:13:25 +0000 Running Elley 172287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1-2 times a week since the end of the first tri. My drive doesn’t seem to have changed at all with pregnancy and now I’m just more tired which doesn’t help to motivate  We were too scared at the beginning with our history of MCs in the past. I think DH is starting to get kind of weirded out by the growing belly/thinking about the baby while we’re doing it now though. He told me the other day that he thinks it’ll be really odd when he can feel the baby kicking during sex, he even had a dream about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172278 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:08:29 +0000 mrs. wagon 172278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: whoa, I had to read that last line a few times to understand/believe it! really?!?? does that mean what I think it means?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172275 Tue, 29 May 2012 14:06:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 172275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably once a week. My sex drive spiked up really high right after our BFP, but we waited until after our first U/S to have sex (we'd had sex the night before my miscarriage started before, and DH was really paranoid). </p> <p>It's definitely settled down a lot the past month or two...I'm more attracted to my husband, but I'm much less interested in the sex. I do have sex dreams on a fairly regular basis, though...and we're talking no hands full completion dreams :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172245 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:50:12 +0000 DillonLion 172245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I'm extremely thankful, because I had pretty much zero drive for like 2-3 years. It was awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172236 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:47:58 +0000 LuLu Mom 172236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well we were just given the okay 2 weeks ago that we could have sex again for awhile there we were at it like teenagers. However, I started to notice that DH is a little freaked out by my growing belly during sex, he says he doesn't want to hurt the baby (or have the baby kick him in the middle of doing the deed.). I explained to him he's not going to hurt her, but it has put a little damper on our sex drive! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172227 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:44:37 +0000 cyndistar3 172227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends, sometimes its only 1-2 other times it is 1-2 times almost every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-busy-with-a-bun-in-the-oven#post-172225 Tue, 29 May 2012 13:43:31 +0000 Shimmer 172225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Aw, I hope my fav position doesn't get compromised by delivery! The from-the-behind position is so much easier on my body while pregnant! I'm going to try being propped up against pillows while on my back... I don't know if it'll help me at this point though! </p>
