Anyone having sex?

mele0301 · June 2014

Ok so I'm 15weeks 2days and finally getting some energy back( I can go to work and shop). No motivation for any workout or sex. Tried sex about a month ago but couldn't get to the finish line because we were scared he was going to poke the baby. Lol I know.
My questions are:
Are you ladies having sex and if so, when did you stop or start. My hubby playfully asks for it almost on the regular but he has been very understanding.

lleigh1231 · June 2014

Did it once a couple of weeks ago week 15 or so.....But like you, I lack the energy...I hear some girls have uber sex drives their second trimester..but I am not in that group...

courtd2 · June 2014

My husband and I have been having more sex then ever. He finds my huge boobs a turn on. And I can't keep my hands off his sexy self. Don'y know what it is about pregnancy that makes me just hungry for husband.

Get him to massage you lots first. I heard this quote on t.v somewhere "Men are like microwaves and women are like ovens. Press a button and the microwave turns on. With an oven, you have to set it right, and let it preheat before it gets hot."

The only time I stopped was from about week 6-8 when I was spotting. Other than that we've been having it quite often. My DH also loves how big my boobs have gotten (a solid B now

). It's probably less than it was pre-pregnancy because I am more tired, but nothing too drastic.

breesee03 · June 2014

Never stopped. Have sex a few times a week. I'm 15 weeks now and am slowing getting more energy and will suck it up when I'm not in the mood because soon sex will be less frequent and thought I would do what I can now....while it's still just the two of us.

EmuTavi · June 2014

About once a week but mostly for DH's pleasure. I get acid reflux every evening and it has not been fun dealing with that in the middle of trying to feel sexy.

zoester766 · June 2014

We are having sex, actually my sex drive has increased an insane amount!
I don't know why so many men believe that they would poke the baby, he won't haha.

JunkieBrewster · June 2014

We never stopped, and kept at our 3-4 times a week like normal.

hellopartyof5 · June 2014

I definitely don't feel sexy in my new body, but we dtd about once a week especially now that ms is gone. I having self esteem issues with MH seeing me naked, which I know is really stupid, so I'm trying to work through that.

ThePregosaurus · June 2014

I'd say it varies on average 1-3 times a week. DH asks for it all the time but my drive just hasn't been rebooted. He's taking it like a champ for the most part... Although I feel like it's the only thing he ever talks about. If we're not getting frisky, he talks about it. If we just got frisky, it's all he wants to talk about lol... Enough! I had an older aunt tell me (drunkenly) at a wedding that the biggest difference she noticed between her pregnancies with her 3 boys vs the 1 girl was that with the boys she was ALWAYS horny, and with the girl she felt like she had PMS the whole time. If that's the case, I'm totally having a girl lol.

jessinaround · June 2014

Never really stopped. Did it the whole time I was pregnant with DS too.

ElaVee · June 2014

Never stopped. We do it pretty much as often as before.

perfectlove09 · June 2014

I'm in the minority I guess. I'm so sick to my stomach still with ms that I don't even want to be touched. between that and working 5 days a week and taking care of dd all the time (I work from home a lot) and doing about 80% of the chores...I have zero energy to even think about sex. I'd say "poor DH" but I don't do the whole "pity me, poor me" well and DH is constantly harassing me about how little we have sex and that's such a major turn off for me.

efgallarday · June 2014

*Miley Cyrus voice* "We can't stop, we won't stop."

hoping4aUNICORN · June 2014

No, nada, nothing :-S

Belle3184 · June 2014

Hah. Barely at all since the BFP. I just have no desire while I'm pregnant.

keliaqt · June 2014

Only about once a week but mostly for DH's benefit, not mine. I can't seem to reach the finish line. And I'm just exhausted most of the time still. I wish I was super horny like some women get during pregnancy. I'm sure DH wishes I was too because he can't seem to leave my boobs alone anymore, which is a problem since they hurt constantly.

Annaess26 · June 2014

Never stopped having sex. My sex drive has def. Increased. And plus as a FTM idk if its fact or what but iv heard it makes delivery easier as well :-)

Lauradi1010 · June 2014

Only once since finding out even though doc gave us the okay. H and I watched a "Sex sent me to the ER" where a woman (who didn't know she was pregnant) went into labor early b/c she had sex w/ her husband. In the episode thr ER doc said that sometime semen can bring on labor. Now H is scared to do anything. I'm dying here.

AlleyMM · June 2014

At least four times week and never stopped after BFP.

esr9435 · June 2014

Haven't stopped even with extreme morning sickness, still happening at 15 weeks! Although our frequency has dropped to about once a week...even though most times I'm not interested, I try my best for the hubs. Apparently at some point this is gonna turn around...still waitin for that!

Same here! Loving it.

chloemag123 · June 2014

I am 15 weeks tomorrow and throughout this whole pregnancy specially in the first trimester, I really was into it. And not that I in the second trimester... well... not that interested. His smell bothers me and I am usually not motivated. But if your doctor hasn't said anything against it and you want it, go for it!!!!

mele0301 · June 2014

Lmao we watch that show to but never seen that one. I hope it's not normal thing.

This is us exactly. Post partum it hurt like crazy so DH is def used to this.

leoandethansmom · June 2014

DH, who is NOT a boob man, loves my even more huge boobs now that I've gone from a DD to an E. We had sex the past two nights and while I'm not really into it right now, I'm taking one for the team. If he wants to caress and worship my rapidly growing body, I'm certainly not going to turn him down!

same for us although about 50% of the time it's just for my hubby. i'm too tired to care much about hitting an O, so I lay back and enjoy the nice feelings lol

irishtriplets · June 2014

That'd be a big ole fat no here. Nothing since a day or two before my BFP. I am JUST now starting to feel almost human again.

Emilysan16 · June 2014

I'm feeling more into it. Our problem now is that MH is on medicine that is dropping his libido! He finishes it soon, so hopefully we will be on the same page!

krystrist2014 · June 2014

SO and just saw each other on Thursday for the first time since April 5 - the day he knocked me up lol! - and we definitely had a lot of sex for the first three days of being back together. Ive always had a pretty high sex-drive... and its probably about the same now that Im pregnant (aside from that period when I had morning sickness and didn't even think about sex).

BLH2014 · June 2014

We never stopped....we may have slowed down a bit when I was feeling extra tired/shitty for a couple weeks around weeks 7-9, but even then it was probably at least 3x a week.

After last nights events we totally did it.

What happened last night?

brittandjp · June 2014

We're pretty consistent dtd once a week, though we were more like twice a week before getting KU.

MeganK81410 · June 2014

We've been holding steady at about once a week, sometimes twice. The last week or so I've noticed I'm more interested in it now that I'm not exhausted and gagging all the time.

afrb1996 · June 2014

Well, I wasn't wanting to at first.
Now that I am a little further along, It seems to be alright.. I don't feel so weak &' tired as much as I did in the beginning!

effaniw1 · June 2014

Tried yesterday, but I get scared if my cervix is short like #3 was. Though my fix says I should be fine because I've never shown any true signs of an IC.

Wulfgar · June 2014

MW is giving it to me about on a weekly basis. With the amount of work that we have been doing and the fact that our LO usually goes to sleep at the same time we do.

weezy29 · June 2014

I was on pelvic rest from 11-16 weeks so nada. This weekend though, we finally did it and I can say it was great!!! The first time not so much because I was super nervous I would start bleeding. I was tense and that equals dry so it was bleh. However, the next two days, soooo much better. I was able to O in less than a couple minutes and that is a BIG deal to me. I did however, notice quite a bit of cramping afterwards which I heard is from the semen?! I don't know but again, made me nervous.

ecgorder · July 2014

We are going to try again this week - we have had several bleeds since week 10 so pretty much no sex since then. Last ultrasound showed no bleeds and cervix and placenta looked fine so I think we are in the clear. Like a lot of other women I have awful heartburn and acid reflex in the evening so morning sex it is!

effaniw1 · July 2014

If you were on pelvic rest for several weeks its probably safer to not have him "empty out" in you because it can soften your cervix and for some, induce labor.

sarahlynne30 · July 2014

We stopped at the end of March ever since my IVF transfer..I've been sick off and on so much and just have no sex drive what so ever! Thankfully my DH is understanding and we can joke about it. He knows when I'm ready I'll tell him
