Okay momma's, Help me out. I don't have the sex drive like I used to. I would love to even want to feel sexy again. Are you guys having sex? Are you guys comfortable during sex? Don't get me wrong I've tried sex and it wasn't as great as I wanted it to be. I just feel bad for my husband because he's probably just itching for sex. I don't know momma's help me out.
My sex drive is through the roof. Unfortunately, it hurts really bad afterwards. I'm really swollen and have to ice my vagina (sorry, tmi). I can't help but keep doing it though. Being missionary has become way to uncomfortable though. So I'm usually on top, side to side, or doggie-style. If sex isn't something you want to do now, do things for yourself to feel sexy. I can't get enough of the pregnancy orgasms though lol.
Sex happens because DH gets cranky without it. I always end up with a leg and butt cramp. I do vaguely recall it getting better later though.

I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
We do have sex, it can get pretty uncomfortable. We've been having fun with oral/manual which allows for easier positions for me (and lately him after he hurt his shoulder). But we still do side by side/doggy style. Missionary is nearly impossible.

When he starts getting cranky tell him he has 2 hands.
That does not work in my house… For mine it provides a feeling of connectedness that nothing else can replace. He has gotten better about going longer without it though.
Do I wish I married a man who could be satisfied with just his hands? Yes. A thousand times yes. But I didn't, so… we compromise.
Not wanting to have sex during your pregnancy, especially the later stages (such as now) can be a clinical sign that your unborn baby is unhappy. This requires immediate attention and corrective action.
Ignore the sarcasm in this thread, OP. This is a valid question and I frequently discuss my sex life with strangers IRL (e.g. at the bus stop, grocery check-out, library), so no need for differentiation on the internet.
Re: your original question. My husband and I have sex at least once each day. Twice on weekends when we spend additional time together.

This requires immediate attention and corrective action.
Further, if your husband wants to have sex, and you're not doing it on command (whether this command be verbal, non-verbal, or even simply in your husband's mind) for any reason, this could negatively impact your marriage. This was proven by a study titled Why Women Must Have Sex At Any Moment Regardless Of How They Feel: Emotional And Physical Study. The study was completed in 1939 and is very relevant. You can read the abstract on JSTOR.
My advice to you, OP, is to put your own feelings aside and lie down on your back. Or get on all fours. It's really up to your husband.

Best. AE. Ever.
@Peledreamsofrain I don't normally talk like this, but, how RUDE! I thought we had something special...

Oh Sparklehooves, you are the most magical AE ever. You know that.
Yeah my DH doesn't masterbate. I thought all men did but he doesn't like it. So when I hold out it just gets worse and he won't help himself. He can go a while, but eventually the crankiness gets to me and I give it up. He never implies that sex is what causes it, but when he magicallly perks up after it's pretty obvious.

This has to be difficult go those who really don't want to have sex. I've only had a few of those days. And never more than one in a row.
My hubby did throw out his back and it was a pretty dry two weeks. Thank goodness he's feeling better now. I get pretty cranky when I don't get laid myself. And I've got all the toys I can manage on my own but when you're in a committed, loving, sexual relationship the partnership and shared closeness does make a difference. I understand not just saying 'go manage on your own'.
Hah, if my husband refused to masturbate and just got super sulky, I would never have married the guy. I have enough stress in my life, I don't need to deal with a partner that refuses to be self sufficient. Life is all about shit not going your way. You need to be able to deal with it.
I dunno about my H. I know I'll have moments sometimes when I really just need to get the job done because something revved me up, so I'll grab a Bob and sixty seconds later be good to go. Usually H is at work. I don't even know his masturbatory habits... I don't really care. He's available when I'm feeling frisky and vice-versa. It works well for us. Days that I don't feel it I let him know and that's fine. Days he's not feeling it he does the same. But mostly we're pretty sympatico. Sulking is for children.
Am I the only one here who gets contractions during sex? My Dr said it's fine, but it makes it impossible to get there. My husband is a big kid and doesn't complain.
