Topic: sex drive and pregnancy Posted: 05 July 2009 at 9:00pm |
ok usually I have a very high sex drive and want it all the time but since being pregnant it seems to have gone AWOL.
now when DH and I do have sex I do enjoy it but I dont get that urge before hand when I wasnt pregnant.
anyone else out there like this?
I guess its a case of if I dont get much before baby is born I am not worried but if DH offers I wont refuse (least not for a few more weeks ahahaha)

oh snap. Right down to the if it happens I enjoy it but bugger this when it comes down to initiating it...but other pg's I have had "rabbit" time. This one has been a little wierd in this sense.
Just as well he's been working away from home!

I was like a rabbit when preg with my boys, this time around its a bit different.
Although after my health scare I have been a bit different and have jumped him a few times!! I really enjoy it when we do, but since i am soooo buggered in the evenings, its mostly weekend morning thing and still this time i need some encouragement.........the other time well he had to turn me down cos he needed a break!! and I used to get sooooo annoyed with my bump cos it would get in the way...LOL.....

I told DH that things would improve in the second trimester and he took it literaly, he initiates it about 4 times a week at the moment.
I would be happy with nothing unfortunately. But I don't want to disappoint him. I think he finds the whole pregnancy thing a turn on.
At least he looks after me in other ways, cleaning, cooking, washing, etc.. I guess I have to look after him too

With my last two the increased sex drive started in the second trimester, this time for the first couple of weeks I was not interested and then about a week ago we BDed and since then I cant get enough, DH is certainaly not complaining so far.

Haha I have vomit issues so while I'm usually up for it every day (a couple of times  ) I can't bear any pressure on my body at all ATM. He can't even give me a cuddle in bed it sets me off  FX that all settles down soon!

Sex drive???? Mine has mostly vanished (except in my dreams of course and in my dreams i'm not preg!). DH loves my preg body and always tells me how beautiful I am etc - but I'm just not into it!
I feel bad for him. I've been having (TMI) lots of discharge, which has now increased in the last week, and on and off thrush which is irritating in more ways than one. We tried it a week or so ago but I've found that I am really sensitive down there and my nipples as well. We used KY but it just irritated me further so had to go wash - obviously that was a real turn off!!!
I just dont know what to do. It doesn't help that I don't want to put myself through further irritation and discomfort.
Lots of cuddles and belly to belly time  which is more than we did in 1st trimester cos I couldn't stand to be touched or have anyone in my bubble!!!

I so was not interested. DH didnt really want to as every time we did I would bleed (very sensitive cervix) and i dont think we did after about 32 weeks as it was just to darn hard! We just couldnt get ourselves into a possy that didnt hurt my hips or tum or him (I was pretty heavy  ).

From the second trimester it's back to business as usual for us.
Although DH's enthusiasm wained last time in the third trimester when DD kicked him while we were in the act.

ohh i'm always up for it, but i had a scare at nine weeks, so the boyfriend isn't so keen to hurt the baby, which i think is sweet, but i still dont get any, like only once a week
