pregnant sex

I have heard of women who want it all the time when preg.  I feel like I have lost ANY interest.  I am pretty much asexual right now lol.  When DH attempts to initiate anything I feel SO annoyed which in turn makes me feel really guilty.....anyone else?  Its not becasue I am sick or tired.  I feel fine....just don't want to get it on lol.

Re: pregnant sex

  • I have no interest...and I didn't when I was pg the first time, either.  MH keeps waiting for the "porn star" phase to start.  hahaha  It doesn't help that I get wicked abdominal cramps after we're "finished", which totally kills the mood.

  • I was like that the first trimester with #2, didn't want anything to do with it. After the first trimester, I wanted it all.the.time. Not saying I got it. By the time I got to get in bed for the night, I was way too tired. I probably fell asleep before I even hit the pillow. But, I still wanted it.

  • My "wanting it all the time" phase lasted about one week and that was around 29 weeks. I did have hyperemesis for the first 25 weeks so it didn't help that I would vomit during sex :)

  • I have no interest and didn't with #1 either.  I totally know how you are feeling.
  • I was like you - no interest at all through both pregnancies.
  • I had more interest this time than last time (not a ton however), but DH is "weirded out" by the whole idea so there you have it.

  • For me, it varies.  I was puking the first 4mo with DS.  Then was a sex fiend up until the end.  With DD, I was worn out from caring for DS and being pregnant, so never really got the same urge.  This time around, I had a frisky 2nd tri, but now am so freakin tired DH is lucky if he gets it once a week.
  • I usually had no interest. But even when I was interested, I would turn DH down because I was so embarrassed of my body. =o( We had a pretty sad physical relationship- all due to my poor self-esteem!?
  • I'm like that when I'm PG too.  Makes me wonder why DH wants a 3rd!
  • I on the other hand wanted it ALL the time, lmao! Im sure dh wishes it was like that all the time. to the point if he told me was tired I would get upset,now that is crazy, but at least he now knows what it is like to really be tired and not want it HA!

  • Frankly, I would have loved to, and so would have DH but I was a total wimp and was afraid to, despite having no pg issues whatever.  Towards the end, to try and get things going (I was 8 days late), we did twice, and I thought, "Crap, should have been doing it all along!"  But I wouldn't say I missed it, either, when I was pregnant.  On the flip side, for the first 6 months post partum, I had zero interest.  We tried a couple times, it hurt like holy hell, and that was that.  It's only been in the last two months that things feel back to normal.
