POLL: How often do/did you have sex while pg?

cooker71

We're about once a week right now, and I REALLY have to almost force myself to get in the mood.

3 or 4 times. It hurt really bad for me during pregnancy.

docmay25

Hardly at all.  Maybe only a couple times the entire pg.  The morning sickness made me not in the mood in the beginning.  Then I had a surge of hormones and got horney, but that didn't last too long until I was showing and then lost the mood again.  Thankfully, I have a very understanding dh.

Only once while I was pg with Christopher and none while I was pg with Alexander.

Sweetie!! You tart!

Not really at all during the first trimester then probably a few times a week until almost the end of pregnancy.

all the time- I'm a weird-o like that!

sooosie

I think it's been like 2x.

I WISH I was more like that Jamaica!

What's SEX?

It hurts like a sonofab!tch this time for some reason.  I think we've averaged about once a month.  Thank God H is understanding.

Tons at first but it's tapered off.  Now I want to go to bed at 9 and I'm too tired before work.  Plus DD wakes up at 6 or 6:30.  No fun!

REOM

I was the opposite- pretty much daily.  The only time my H has ever turned me down, poor guy was tired

lol...we have done it 2x with this pg and I think we also did it maybe 2x while I was pg with DD.  I just cannot get into it while pg...thank goodness my DH is understanding too.  We ttc for 5 months, so he got plenty then I suppose. lol

1st trimester- never, i think I would have thrown up on him is we did!

2nd trimester- maybe twice

3rd- zero, until I was overdue then we had sex 2-3 times a day to try and get labor started- didn't work!

cristiana

Not that much. It wasn't a completely dry season, but I think DH would say otherwise. I just felt awkward, fat, and NOT sexy. So no sex drive for the most part.

For me it was a huge turn on. We had sex just about every night for the whole pregnancy except:

?a period of a month or so in the 1st trimester when I was working 18 hour days and not telling work I was pg so I was exhausted

when I got gastro

right at the end, the last week or so was really hard.?

Not much.  DH was worried he'd "hit" the baby.  It didn't help matters much when I told him he was giving himself ENTIRELY too much credit.

Baby4OT

LOL at too much credit for hitting the baby!

Umm, sex is almost nonexistant when I'm pg. I was on pelvic rest for parts of my first pg. Once I was cleared to have sex, we were already feeling the baby (inc DH being able to feel her with his hand on my belly) and it totally weirded him out to have sex with her moving around in there. I believe the quote was something like: "It's not like we're going to have sex with her in the room later - seems weird to do it with her here now."

I was so sick during the first tri this time that there was no way I was about to have sex. And we were both able to feel her at about 15w this time around, so there goes sex for a while!

We've had sex maybe 3 times since this baby was conceived. Nice track record, huh?
