2nd Trimester

How often are you in the mood for sex?

Hi. I am 18 weeks pregnant and lately I have not been in the mood for sex at all. It just doesn't seem interesting to me at the moment. Before I conceived my sex drive was in full force, nowadays I can go days without even thinking about it? Is there anyone else feeling like this? Is this normal?

  • It's normal.

    Seems people are usually on one end of the spectrum or the other when it comes to sex.

  • Never.  DH asked me if we could tonight and I whined that it hadn't even been a week since we did it last.  Pathetic, I know.

  • I am usually ALWAYS horny... but can only sometimes find the energy to actually do it. It's been a problem with us since we started dating... so, I dunno.
  • We're having sex about as often as before BFP.  We want to do it more often, but once a week is all we can ever fit in to the schedules.

  • Yea, mine has been pretty low, but I try to focus on the little moments of when I feel it "bubbling up" and ride it from there. I feel bad DH has to deal with my hormonal-ness and figure me 'putting out' every now and then is a reward. LOL!! (It does help my libido has increased some... I'd share if I could... :( )

  • Never.  I had a low drive before IVF, but poor DH has only gotten lucky 2x in 6 months.  I keep getting yeast infections, but even if I didn't, I'd have to guess that I wouldn't be interested.  The last time (3 months ago) hurt and now I have a big belly and feel like a whale.

    I think it's normal and I wish I had a suggestion to improve things :(

  • Thanks so much. I guess I shouldn't feel so bad then huh?. lol =)
  • If it was up to me, we would go every other night.lol  DH is a little scared though, worried about causing me any pain. So usually it's about 2 times a week, maybe 3 if I can catch DH before he starts thinking about the baby.

  • What's sex??? Its been so long that I can't even remember! I'm 26 weeks and feeling very pregnant these days. I had a low sex drive before anyway (maybe 1-2x/wk) but now its non existent! Funny thing is that I kinda want to have sex but DH cannot get out of his head that our baby boy is kicking around in me!?
