Tmi: are you and your SO...

wandsandwine · June 2014

Still getting frisky? The how do you make yourself feel sexy post made me wonder. It's been a good 3 weeks if not a month since DH and I have gotten some personal time. I'm just always uncomfortable. If you are is there a position other than being on all fours that works for you?

Valancyy · June 2014

I honestly don't even remember the last time we had sex. I don't think we'll be having it again at this point until 6 weeks pp. I am very tender down there, I've always gotten that way during pregnancy. I'm sure it would be very uncomfortable.

BabyM82714 · June 2014

Pretty much every position is working still for us. My current problem is I think I'm into it, then I loose interest quickly. I just let him get the benefits. It takes a lot of energy to orgasm from sex. Solo sex isn't as tasking. So I just am keeping up the sex routine for his sake and he has zero idea I care for myself every other day at least lol

klauke_t13 · June 2014

I wish. Hubby hasn't been interested since I started showing. No matter what I say, it freaks him out.

Nuclearcupcake · June 2014

Heck yea we are! Doggy and me on too works best but he gets on top too.

smfdjo · June 2014

Yes but not nearly as often as before.

ungraceful13 · June 2014

Nope. Not remotely in the mood

rainbowwillow · June 2014

Dry spell for my SO too for the past couple of months. Just not interested or too tired or always have to pee.

FrodaBaggins · June 2014

No.

Do not want. (still love/am attracted to my husband immensely, and find him incredibly sexy, though!)

I don't know how to embed gifs, so here is a link to one.

tamarar5 · June 2014

We do. DH still wants to try missionary, but I so can't breathe! It's barely comfortable spooning. But I still try.

NLewis1 · June 2014

My third trimester has been my friskiest! I am seriously horny like a teenage boy. Me on top, him on top, doggy style works best for us. I'll tell you though, tonight we were in the middle of getting down and we finally found a position that felt super good for me, and as I tell him so, I burp. He keeps going. I burp again. He's working extra hard to please his very pregnant wife that took forever to find a good spot, and here I am burping REPEATEDLY. I couldn't stop. It was SO sexy.... luckily he's an amazing man and he just grinned at me. he's such a trooper

I try, but there's no such thing as a quicky in our house, so it's hard for me to find the energy lately. Doggy style hurts for me due to scar tissue from my last pregnancy, but if I drape my upper body over a couple pillows and put my legs froggy style, it feels so good.

andatcdc · June 2014

We are doing it about every 7-10 days. Its not the most comfortable thing but I do it for him. Usually doggy style or side by side. nothing too fancy! :-) I just know after baby it will be nothing for 4-6 weeks (im guessing) so I have to let him get some pleasure before baby

mikescutie7 · June 2014

I've maintained a high sex drive this pregnancy and we still do it 3-4 times a week. Amazingly we have still been able to do missionary position thanks to a bed that sinks in a lot haha but after the last couple times I'd say that's over but I prefer on top anyways

Cat&S · June 2014

Nope. Not since I was 15ish weeks.

amandager99 · June 2014

I wish. The last time we had sex I got pregnant. It's seriously going to be like a year dry spell for us. I'm high risk and on complete pelvic rest which we knew would happen when I got pregnant again.

Kmclark2008 · June 2014

No. After the last 3 times have been super awkward, and trying every position we could think of, no. Baby girl is sitting so low that everything is swollen and even DH commented on the extreme pressure. I'm totally bummed, but it just hurts.

it was 4 months after DS was born before we could even try. I'm so not prepared to go 6 months. Ugh.

Jenrileysmom · June 2014

The last time I put out was about 4 or 5 weeks ago. I really have no interest. I'm getting the feeling from hubby that my grace period is about to run out again.

loulou182 · June 2014

No. I've been on pelvic rest since before I was pregnant.

gahorseygal · June 2014

I have had a high sex drive the whole pregnancy especially second trimester! Slowed down a bit now but we still do a few times a week. Best position is me on my side and him on his knees. Not sure what thats called! Never tried it before i was pregnant but spooning doesnt work for either of us and this kinda came out of that! I feel like we have to take advantage now because who knows when we will after our LO is here. Also - the only time i feel sexy is when we have sex.

mmghee · June 2014

Once a week compared to at least 3 times normally. I was so freaky first 4 months and we did it almost every day. Recently DH said I look so fragile; which I think is why he doesn't initiate as often as he did. Plus on really not on the mood that much anymore

happylady07 · June 2014

Yes. Actual sex isn't so common, because I'm just so huge and awkward and he feels like he's going to hurt me so he can't finish (he was the same way with my first pregnancy), but we fool around 2-3 times a week still and it's quite enjoyable, as long as the actual intercourse is minimal. Stick to a lot of foreplay and he has gotten his fair share of BJs.

NSAbby · June 2014

We havent had any since my fall, but Im usually on top these days. We've been married for forever, and because of our schedules, prepregnancy we tended to cycle. Some months itd be 3-4 times a week, some months itd be once, that entire month. It just depends on how busy we are.
But we fool around a lot, in between.

kaylo1182 · June 2014

We are not either. I can count on my hand the number of times since we became prego. Def more frisky in my 2nd tri than any other time.

Russiandea12 · June 2014

Yes about once a week. Although it is getting more uncomfortable, we stil have a couple go to positions that work.

Jentech84 · June 2014

We do it still! Pretty much the only positions we can do are doggy style, backwards cowgirl, or spooning position. The belly gets in the way if we try anything else.

Last time I was facing forward baby's head was really low down. Every gyration he felt the firm/roundness of the head touching his stomach lol. He kept pulling faces so when I asked, "Do you want me to turn around?"
He responded yes very quickly with great relief!

haliebabyx3 · June 2014

Yes we do. We are down to about once a week. It's best for me to be on top. The last time we had sex though, I was hurting so bad afterwards and hurt all the way into the next day. Although, I'm sure we will continue to do so anyways.

Yep. This. We aren't doing anything intimate at this point.

kshare18 · June 2014

Not at all and it really makes me sad. I want it real bad, but I just want the idea of it. I want him to want me again, which it doesn't seem like he does. He is perfectly fine not having sex. He makes sure to tell me I'm beautiful a lot and holds me more now. I guess it's our trade off, but it BLOWS. I want to get super freaky again.

Allison7 · June 2014

We do about once a week. It is always with me on all fours, but recently we have developed a pillow support system that is working well. I still can be on top, but DH prefers to not see the bump. He is still grabbing the boobs and I have tried to warn him that one of these days he is going to get a very unsexy surprise from that, but if don't think he will learn until it happens.

NLewis1 · June 2014

I SO wish we could pull off shower sex! I'm jealous of all you ladies who can! I'm 5'3 and H is 6'2 so our height difference makes for no standing sex. I would seriously have to get a low step stool and put on my tallest heels lol....and I'm so clumsy I feel like that's just an accident waiting to happen!

Peaece13 · June 2014

We're about 2-3 times a week, mostly doggy. Most other positions are uncomfortable to me. I always find it easy table during. I get a little sore after, but that usually goes away the next day. First trimester I wanted nothing to do with him touching me though. So I'm trying to make up for it now.

shaylagirl · June 2014

Hah, yeah...no. *sigh*

Since the BFP? Twice.

Know who's an angry woman?

THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE!!!

I just -might- be a little ragey on this particular subject, and a little touchy.

And jealous of you women who's partners think you look sexy pregnant. Mine thinks pregnant women aren't physically attractive. He thinks it's amazing and wonderful we do what we do...but he says it's a total turn-off. Yep, he's a real peach. :-L

MeganEMcG5 · June 2014

Not for 3ish weeks. It's usually fine for me during, as long as there is either a pillow under my butt/hips or if we're spooning (I'm not a doggy fan), but afterwards I am in a lot of pain. Last time I needed an ice pack. I just think everything is swollen and while that's probably great for him, it's not so great for me. I've warned him that I'm probably off limits for the rest of this pregnancy. We're probably both enjoying alone time instead...at least I know I am!

rockyrollgirl · June 2014

Well, I am going to feel like an asshole if I go into details on the frequency. So I will not.
Not as active as before, as some days I am hurting and with more oral or handjobs then actual intercourse.
Positions that are working for us: missionary and spooning.

This. Sigh

KUGirl09 · June 2014

I find seduction works well.

I am still pretty frisky and want it at least 2-3 times a week. Froggy style like someone said above, reverse cowgirl, or doggy works great. I have discovered that an orgasm always brings on BH though, so I pretty much can't reach full orgasm due to the sudden distraction and cramps. DH gets a LOT of head these days, which I don't have a problem with at all! Less work for me when I'm just exhausted.

ShadowsRainFalls · June 2014

Only a handful of times since BFP. I'm not in the mood.

sekura · June 2014

Not really in the mood, but we're big believers in maintenance sex in our house. I try to give him bjs every 1-2 weeks now. Last time we had actual intercourse was probably 6 weeks ago; just incredibly painful for me. But he still tries to take care of me.
We'll probably stick with bjs every 1-2 weeks until I'm cleared post-delivery, like we did with DS.
