Sex: Are you still having it?

It has probably been close to 2 weeks since DH and I last had sex...last time I was pregnant he got 'weirded out' at about 30 weeks and was no longer interested (fine by me!) but this time (31+ weeks) he is still very much into it. I am NOT...however, I remember it took a L-O-N-G time after baby for sex to feel normal for me again(mostly due to dryness/lack of sex drive from breastfeeding-sorry TMI). I am wondering if I should just suck it up for the next few (8) weeks while I still can...
What are you ladies doing? And are you actually into it, or being nice?

Re: Sex: Are you still having it?
We are both way into it. We both have a pretty high drive and get it on at least 5 times a week. I was more than ready to hop back in the saddle after getting the ok at my six week appointment.
I'm still totally into it. He is my husband, I am his wife. This is what we did to create our little one & we will continue to do it because we are attracted to each other & love one another.
There's only been a handful of times that I've been unable to have sex with him, but it is normally because I am in a lot of pain & he understands completely.
Sex? What is that?
Its been WELL over a month and I'm not sure when it will happen again. Poor husband!
I've been full on horny lately!
And we haven't had any action for awhile- I think DH thinks it's either off limits or he's trying to be way too polite. I called BS on that last night. Finally got us back in the saddle- although DH was slow to react- turns out he IS a little concerned about having sex with the pregnancy, etc. I don't want sex to bring on labor (well maybe in a week or so, I am 37 wks now) - I just want sex! And since there will be some down time after LO, I figure I'd better get some now while I can. I think its spring fever- whatever it is I plan on getting it regularly as much as possible form now til birth
Oh- but on a side note- where the breasts used to be part of the action- I think I realized last night they can no longer be part of the party. I think I yelled Ow!" a half dozen times in that department lol
Ladies I love this website!
That we can talk freely (sex, Bjs).
Me and DH still are, not that frequently, just did this weekend but I think it was probably a week before that they we did last, and 2 weeks before that time.
I semi enjoy it, but am definitly trying to make an effort since I know at some point I am just ahnds down not going to want to have it anymore, and then know that 6 weeks after we can't either...so I am going to try as long as I can now!
We usually have sex every other day when I'm not pregnant.
Barring the few complications I've had this pregnancy we are close to that same pattern.
DH actually finds it challenging to find new positions that are comfortable for us and still work.
When we can't have sex we do find other ways to be intimate and maintain the connection.
The last time we had sex, which was like three weeks ago, it was so uncomfortable for me that it bordered on painful, and I was totally not into it. I felt like I was making a concession for my DH. It isn't so much that I am self conscious about by bump, but that I am self conscious about my "lady bits". I can't/don't shave like I used to, and I've had all that extra discharge and stuff that makes me squeamish about being touched, so our foreplay is basically non-existant.
What is funny is that I have been having some pretty steamy fantasys where I can get pretty turned on, but I have no desire for actual sex.
