2nd Trimester

Sex Life???

Ok this might  be a little personal but I was just wondering what everyone's sex life is like? I've heard SO many people talk about how they "didn't even want to think about sex the hole 9 or almost 10 months!"But I'm seven months along and my boyfriend and I have always had a pretty normal sex life through my hole pregnancy. The only time I really didn't want to think about sex was during my first trimester when I was sick all the time. Other than that our sex life is normal.Just wondering if anyone else feels the same way. 

Re: Sex Life???

  • I have not wanted sex at all. My dh and i had sex one morning and he ruptured the capillaries on my cervix causing major bleeding. Dr got it under control and said baby was ok but we are not allowed to have sex until after baby due to my sensitive cervix. this was kinda a blessing to me since i have no desire for sex right now. Drs orders Big Smile

  • I just recently got out of my first Trimester and it's going back to normal. It's not even that I've been sick but more tired. He doesn't get home from work until about 8pm so by the time we eat dinner, clean up and think about doing anything my eyes are already closing. It's getting there though now that I have more energy... THANK GOD! because sex during pregnancy is AH-MAY-ZING!

  • I can sum up our sex life in 3 words... What sex life?

    Ha, I am NEVER in the mood. I feel bad for DH. I still love him and find him attractive, I just never want to do it. Wish I could change that! 

  • I pretty much want nothing to do with it. Just the thought of it makes me sick. I give in sometimes because I just feel so horrible for my fiance but he's being a real trooper

    This exactly.  I can count the times we've had sex since being pregnant on one hand.

  • I kind of have the opposite problem..I am the initiator. Last weekend when he was a bit tipsy ( we were out downtown with friends) he told me that he just feels kind of weird initiating anything..." cause they are right there" .i'm bummed to say the least.

  • I think I am just strange in general :(  I am not sure if I want it more that normal or if he wants it less that normal, but I feel like he is turning me down a lot.  I try to talk to him because I am starting to feel like he just isn't attracted to me anymore :(  Is there anyone else like us out there?????

  • I've been on pelvic rest for a month but even befooe that I was not too interested. I think absence makes the heart grow fonder now in my case...lol
  • Ours is pretty much gone.  I feel horrible for MH...so sometimes I literally just lay there and have "mercy" sex bc I feel so bad but I am just simply not interested at all :(

  • Yes, definitely a lot less. He isn't initiating as much, and I could care less really (but even though I am not in the mood, it hurts my feelings that he doesn't seem into it anymore). If I initiate he is, but I never feel like it, lol.

  • We have been getting it on pretty regularly. As I get bigger it does feel a little weird, but still really good.
  • My pregancy only made me (and DH) hornier.

    I don't know why, but I suppose it has something to do with the increased blood flow in the erogenous zones. For him, I suppose the bigger boobs did it. And there's the action/reaction thing... men never ever turn down sex. Yey!

    In the first tri, I would sometimes get cramps, but we solved that by controling penetration, so it wouldn't go too deep. Happily, though, that only lasted till about the 10th week. And, at least until now, I never felt sick, so that helps a lot. I did sometimes get headaches (and I don't usually have headaches), but I always have sex when I have headaches, because, ironically enough, I find it helps. I suppose my headaches must be stress-related or something like that. I am not stressed, but I am always tired... *big yawn*

  • I am so happy i am "normal-ish"!  I am never in the mood for sex anymore.  We've had sex 3 times since we've found out i was pregnant, and 2 of those times i did it because i felt guilty.  I love my husband dearly and he knows that, he's been so good about things!  I'm just thankful he's so understanding.

  • I've been really sick (Yay Hyper G Tongue Tied) so sex has been pretty far out of the question. But DH is really impressed by my boobs, so he really wants to. Hopefully the nausea will go away soon.

  • We still have sex just not as much. We went from 4-5 times a week to 1-2 but he's been saying after every time lately that it's getting better and better lol Not sure why but I'll take it.

  • Oh lord...we were only married less than a month when we found out we were expecting and our sex life went crash and burn. It's an average of once a week now. Poor guy...I am hoping my libido will pick up. It's great once we get going, it's just the wanting to get going part. My hubs is a very sexual man and my lack of interest at night makes me feel bad..like I am not being a good wife/partner.....hoping it improves. :(

  • For us, it's a bit less than pre pregnancy, but I'm ok with it......I'm not really comfortable with my body when pregnant so that kind of kills the mood haha.

  • My hubby and I have been enjoying a really fantastic sex life since I got pregnant!  For some reason, my body has craved it and has become more "responsive" than ever before!  My hubby's not complaining and neither am I Big Smile

    I am so in love with my precious little miracle!
  • I feel like I'm the one that always wants to, but he doesn't. Its been so much more enjoyable for me since I got pregnant. (after the morning sickness had left)
  • I also have HG so there was absolutely no desire for awhile b/c I couldn't stomach anything, not even kissing. I was super horny though and had some very interesting dreams this pregnancy. Once I was able to function a little more (about 3 weeks ago), DH had been happy with oral sex. 
  • I have been wanting more sex than usual, but I have always had a high sex drive... hence the kids!! Lol. My DH on the other hand has had a decrese since I got pregnant with this baby. SOOOO not happy about that!
  • I definitely want is less than usual; but the fact that he wasn't trying to initiate anything really got me wondering. I asked him about it and said that I felt bad and he said that he would actually prefer that I initiate it and he would definitely be willing to comply and I left it at that. He just feels weird cuz there's a baby in there and figures I don't want to (which I don't), but definitely when we do do it, he likes it---so that makes me feel better. I just want to do it at least sometimes because it would be weird to think we went so many months without it--that would scare me into thinking it would be like that forever. I'm sure once I get rid of this stomach and start wearing things other than sweats and the jeans that I never really liked (which are the only things that fit), I will feel better about myself and also my skin has gone crazy, so that's not exactly making me feel sexy, either.
