How often are you having sex now that your pregnant?

EliesMom35 · October 2010

I am almost 6 months along and my husband's and I's sex life is becoming slower and slower...am I alone!?

GenaBoBenaWife · October 2010

I'm usually too tired during the wk, so the wkend is our bone time. We were only having sex once or twice but now that I've hit T2, I'm chasing him around twice a day it seems.

weelass24 · October 2010

Yup. Plus, we are coming up on the horny phase. DH will be attacked nightly for about 3 weeks.

midnight*sun · October 2010

With DH or myself?

DH has been working out of town since June. He came home for the weekend last weekend and we did it every day.

Sheas · October 2010

You are NOT alone.

DH and I rarely make the sexytime anymore. When we do (this is going to sound bad), it is because I feel bad for him. I have not sexual motivation right now, and I feel bad because he needs his lovin.

magdalina.h · October 2010

Maybe once a month. We want it more, but we're both too afraid. We know having sex didn't cause any problems with my last pregnancy, but that still doesn't help.

ailidespain · October 2010

Since I started working again it seems like things have slowed to twice a week

By the time the kids are in bed we are like zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sucks, the weekends ROCK tho!

buboo · October 2010

1-2 times per week on average, even if I am not up for it.

Dixiebell · October 2010

we are in the middle of a 3 week 2 day dry spell. I usually try to on sunday nights and if he doesnt ask i dont offer. I know im evil but i cant help it right now.........

robynjdm · October 2010

4-5 times a week!

This. Exactly. And, I feel so bad. I used to want it all the time and now I only do it because I think it's "good for our relationship." It's kind of grossing me out right now, I'm hoping that might change in the next couple of weeks.

WOW!!!!!!! Your husband is a very lucky man!

MommySpirit · October 2010

How often? NEVER

I have vaginal varicosities (basically hemeroids in the vulvar area)

It causes too much pain, so no luck for hubby...

kabarbanel · October 2010

I'd say twice a week on average.

lovebug<3 · October 2010

never. If we do, its cause i feel bad that he wants it all the time and i could actually care less. so maybe once a month.

Ahh, I am familiar w/mercy sex. 1st tri, MH used to b!tch about not getting any, then b!tch if I gave it up and it was "mercy sex." Take your pick buddy & quit your complaining.

JerkStore213 · October 2010

OMG. I'm really the only one that hasn't gotten laid this entire time. I think we need to go to therapy.

This, although it has been a while!

Hotomale · October 2010

Not since conception for us. I think it weirds him out when I'm pregnant and I'm just fine with that for now.

{slowly and shyly raises hand} Nope. You're not. Between being in our early 40's, a low T level for DH (thus decreased libido), and the RLP for me, there has been a lot of, um, hugging in our house since the BFP. Besides, I'm not really feeling my sexiest now. Sometimes I worry about this, but DH and I have talked it through, and we'll get our Chikka-Baw-Baw back on track after the twins. Go to school. Or college. Wink

YAY! I feel a little better knowing I'm not alone in this.

mrsoh · October 2010

At least once a week. Now that I'm past being sick, I want it all the time.

girllennon · October 2010

In our pre-pg days, we'd be at it 3-4 times a week. Now that I'm getting bigger and less mobile, it's once a week or once every other week. I haven't been in the mood and feel more self-conscious about how big my belly has gotten. It just feels weird getting pounced on or me doing the pouncing when I am aware that the baby is being jostled about.

DH has been a good sport and understands (he's far from 'weirded out' about the growing belly), so I have to make do with other methods of paying attention to him, sexually speaking.

Mallyboomer · October 2010

3-4 times a week...

I'm usually the one pushing for it, though, when I'm not passing out from the preggo-exhaustion.

Molluskwrangler · October 2010

It just depends some weeks we hump like rabbits other I tell him "touch me and die".

Scout05 · October 2010

We haven't had sex since July. First we were too freaked out, then I started feeling sick, and then they put me on pelvic rest at 8 weeks. They extended that to 20 weeks, so I have not yet experienced that mythical "hot pregnancy sex."

DH is being an excellent sport about it, I have to say.

JCragg · October 2010

Yeah it hasn?t happened in two weeks. I had a lust period early in 2^nd trimester but now it feels funny. I just give into other lovin, I feel so bad.

flowerchild77 · October 2010

Not as much as Id like!!! >.< Hubby is apparently "tired" from work, working out, and his martial arts class. Is that all you little wimp????? O.o

msj215 · October 2010

2 or 3 times a week. And if BF didn't work two jobs it would be more, dang 2nd job!

Nope. We haven't either... Embarrassed

ksyknelvr73 · October 2010

We haven't had sex since I was 13 weeks - I was put on pelvic rest for my placenta previa, but I was cleared at my anatomy scan this last Wednesday. Our wedding anniversary is tomorrow so you can BET we are doing it!!! : ) We have been "taking care of each other" in other ways though...poor man, I couldn't NEVER do anything for him...he'd die.

So this has nothing to do with this post, but I'm usually on TB from my phone and so I never knew your little elephant danced. It's SO cute!!

Rachel010110 · October 2010

Definitely not alone...We "try" about once a week and that's usually because I feel guilty. Sometimes we have to end it other ways because it just doesn't feel comfortable for me. I just have no interest in it whatsoever.

In my first pregnancy that I miscarried in April, I actually really wanted it for a couple of weeks, and had my first multiple O. It was great! However, this pregnancy has been totally different where I haven't really wanted it at all. I guess maybe that's a good thing since last pregnancy I wanted it and ended up miscarrying?

Ha, thanks! That's Ellie, she's sassy.

HydrangeaSunset · October 2010

Now that I am feeling better and letting him touch me, we're back to where we were, 4-5 times a week.

mommytosam011011 · October 2010

I get it 4-5 times a week. I guess I'm making up for 1st tri when I NEVER wanted it. I dreaded going to bed! It was awful. Now I'm back to not being able to get enough.

PSUDuke315 · October 2010

Well, since I hit the 2nd Tri, I have had NO sex drive. 1st was completely different... 4-5 times a week. Now, not so much.

Bengalbelle04 · October 2010

BEFORE the terrible RLP started I'd say 2 times a week on average, now.. next to never.. My vag feels like someone is kicking me in it constantly... Doesn't make "sexytime" very sexy when you are in agony

DeAnna&DavidRyder · October 2010

everyday... sometimes twice...

Embarrassed lol.

but its starting to slow down.

sweetaug · October 2010

Don't feel so bad. My DH seems to have no sex drive since he found out I was pregnant. It upsets me a little. We've had sex a few times but normally I have to initiate. He's weirded out I think. And otherwise, I am too tired and physically sore all over! He never had a super high sex drive though. We averaged 1 time a week before I got pregnant.
