I went with the first one, but I want to add that the last month it's only been about 1-2 times a week. It makes me sad and I realize that it's only going to get worse after the baby arrives.
I went with the first one also. And frequency week to week varied between 1-4 times a week. The farther along I got, the less often we had sex. And I stopped having an O around 30 weeks. Not sure why. So that could have been part of the reason we had less sex. Less motivation on my part.
My DH was not into it once I started showing. He tried to take one for the team, but after I started showing DH was all weirded out. He joked that he didn't want to give A-man "a taste". So I think about 22 weeks was it for us.

Thank you for posting this. I am starting to get a bump and DH says that it will be tough when I really start showing. He too is worried about hurting the bean. It's been tough already without me showing so I am scared that our fun times will be over for good. I just don't want him not attracted to me anymore - but I wonder if it will get hard as I get bigger. Thanks for all the answers ladies - I know this might be a touchy subject, but I didn't know who to turn to on this one.
Brett and I decided to wait until at least after we see the doctor....probably until the end of first tri. I tend to bleed afterwards (sorry, TMI) and we just don't want the worry.
After first tri though, as long as I feel good enough to, we plan on resuming normal activities.

I was really bummed b/c I was one of those horny pregnant women. I told him it made me feel as if I wasn't attractive to him anymore and it really bothered me. But he said for him it was more of a mental thing. He loved me thought I was beautiful, but couldn't get past it (even physically for him sometimes).
I picked yes other, because I didn't feel I could put myself in the same category as people that actually have sex at least once a week. I think we have had sex maybe 4 times since I found out I was pregnant. And its all me, I'm completely NOT in the mood when I'm pregnant.

I think my DH has been chatting with yours. This was our exact conversation over the last month. We said we would cross the bridge of me getting huge and sex later but it is mental with him too. You have no idea how much your comments ring true with me. Glad not to be alone.
I put yes, other. We didn't at all in 1st trimester, I had no interest. Then we went to New Orleans and did it non stop at the hotel, initiated by me. Then between NO and Mexico we only did it a handful of times and in Mexico it was every day, sometimes twice a day. And then only a few times after Mexico. I could not have been less interested the last few weeks
