@Mrsdaredevil: omg too tiring! lol kudos to u2!
-
Pre-pregnancy it was 2-3 times per week, but pretty much this whole pregnancy (I'm 34 weeks now) it's been about once a week. I lately have NO sex drive but feel crappy not doing it, so I have to find ways to get myself in the mood. It's tough to find a position that works and I do sometimes get bad RLP afterwords which sucks.
DH has absolutely no problem with pregnant sex since he's more attracted to me with the big boobs and all, but he is much more gentle about it.
I can't wait for things to get back to normal too! This is my least favorite thing about being pregnant!
-
@duckduckkristen: We are 1 week apart and I have NOOOOOO SEX DRIVE and when the hubs comes home from work (late) i'm too tired to even think about it.
-
Sadly, non-existant. Pre-TTC we were more of a once a week couple (been together for almost 11 years!). TTC we picked things up alot. However, first trimester, kept getting yeast infections from sex. Had sex a few times in second trimester. Then, belly got big and my husband got a little freaked out about that....and now at 31 wks I'm on bedrest/pelvic rest so there won't be any sex for quite awhile. We've found other ways to stay intimate (baths together, etc) and I actually feel closer to DH than ever. Go figure.
-
@winniebee: Baths! haha.... I tried that once with the hubs and i think 2 inches of water made the bath overflow. haha.
Ya my husband isn't a light type of guy.
-
Sex just isn't the same for me pregnant. I'd say we still manage at least 2 times a week now (for some reason my sex drive kicked up these last couple of weeks), but before it was more like maybe 1 time a week if that. It's really hard for me to "get there" now. I'm really hoping things feel normal again after pregnancy.
-
@blushink: Oh yes we have displaced water in recent weeks, ha! We have a jet tub, but it's not very large and our bathing together days might be over since I am pretty much a beached whale these days : )

hahaha this whole thread made me laugh so many times! You guys are too funny.
With Wagon Jr. we fluctuated, but we normally fluctuate so I guess it was pretty normal. Actually, I'm convinced that I got myself to go into labor by having unprotected sex the night before. We almost never have unprotected sex (we use barrier, aka condom, every time) so it couldn't have been a fluke!! So whenever ladies are near the end and wanting to go into labor I tell them to have unprotected sex
This time around we've both been a little less into it. For some reason I am MORE scared this time about hurting the baby, even though I know it's pretty much impossible. I think I'm a little more connected emotionally to the baby this time so I'd rather just not do anything that she might feel. Plus stuff has shifted after having Wagon Jr. so things have been a little less fun since having Wagon Jr. Maybe this is TMI but I used to enjoy two different positions and now I'm just down to one position.
But Wagon Sr. and I have really great physical chemistry (have since day one... heh) and even after almost 7 years of marriage the sex is still great.... so I can't complain!! It does get tough emotionally when we haven't done it for a while, so we do do it at least once every two weeks or so, even if I don't feel like it. Even if I don't enjoy it fully physically, I really like feeling close to him and having him satisfied.
-
I blame the lack of sex on my husband. He just can't do it knowing baby is head down. (I konw this is common in men)
-
DH flat out refused to have sex until our first doctor's appt, so we finally did the deed last weekend for the first time since conception (8 "weeks" along, so 6 weeks with no sex).
Overall, my sex drive has increased during pregnancy, but I'm so sick that it cancels it out. The one time we did do it, it was great! Hopefully we'll find another "window" where I'm not feeling nauseous/exhausted and DH isn't freaked out LOL.
-
In the beginning, DH was worried we would be too rough and somehow hurt the baby, and I although I promised to lie still, he wouldn't go for it. lol! Now that we're in the second trimester, things have picked up a little, but I need so much sleep (or am sleeping to combat a migraine) now that I usually go to bed before he does, and he says he feels like it's not okay for him to wake me up. I have assured him that it is, in fact, okay, but I can't blame him for being hesitant.
-
I think we've had sex 2x since the BFP in the beginning of March. Mostly because I've been sick/tired.
I'm ready to get back to normal now though
-
We've only had sex twice since our BFP, once we had our first appointment and found out about my cyst we were told no sex what so ever. DH is starting to go crazy (that's about 8 weeks with no sex) but he is too scared to hurt me! So we are both deprived!
-
@jessiejo17: well that puts a whole other twist to it. Only makes sense. Better be safe than sorry. Hope you get an okay from the doc eventually though.
-
I'm with you! we had sex maybe once or twice after I found out we were pregnant. It just felt strange to be doing that stuff knowing a little person was inside of me. Post pregnancy - we didn't do it until LO was 5 months old...and then again when he was 11 months. Maybe my hormones were all out of wack but I really never was in the mood and DH was tired all the time. We're slowly getting our mojo back.
