Pregnant sex has been a weird experience for me, and I figure I can't be the only one. So, let's talk about sex, baby.
How are things different since getting knocked up? Has your second tri. sex drive kicked in yet, or are you still meh about it? Is your DH all about it, or hesitant because of your growing bump? Are you as awkward during sex as I have been lately, or are you some newfound goddess of sex and fertility? (I still do not know what to do with this bump.

)
Re: The Bump After Dark: "Mommy Boxes," Etc.
sex drive, yes... DH finally got the "horny pregnant" he was hoping for.
So far nothing has been uncomfortable for either of us, but I do worry about the orgasm factor. Is it going to hurt baby? Is that a stupid concern? If I O more than once, is that bad?
ETA- going to bed soon, not just ghosting
eta:hey I rhymed! I'm a poet and didn't even know it!
For us sex is the same as it had been before pregnancy, I'm still tired all the time so I'm not in the mood a lot. But so far we haven't had to resort to side by side and doggy style only like in the third tri.
Honestly besides one particular angle of doggystyle that hurts me, the rest is aaaaaall yummy EXCEPT : I DONT FEEL LIKE HAVING SEX ANYMORE !
giving dh blowjobs used to turn me on so much...now all it does is.... GAG lol. Almost can't do it.
13 weeks and 2 days and i am most definitely waiting for that increased sex apetite 2nd tri thing to kick in and so is he ... Before preg we'd do it morning befre he leaves for work, and when he comes home (3 times a day when hes off)... Now well i just dont want any. I feel like im doing him a favor by having sex with him lol I HATE IT.
another thing : used to come at least twice per session.... now i just cant !!! i dont know i feel like im just NOT into it at all, and that is def weird for me, as for the past 4 years we ve been at it like rabbits lmao.
desperate for my sex drive to come back !!!!!!!!!
We have had to get quite a bit more creative to get us both off.
If I'm not feeling it, there's always BJ's for him.
If we do the deed SO insists on trying to get me to O for at least a good twenty minutes before he will let us take care of him. I appreciate him being so enthusiastic but sometimes I'm just not feeling it.
I feel like a bad girlfriend sometimes lol.
but yeah I hate the jiggling. It's awful and I literally turn myself off. Lol.
ETA: then there's the whole baby takes every ounce of time and energy you can expend thing too
oh hes aware, even though he thinks we'll rapidly get back to our once every two weeks hotel sessions ( we like to change scenery to make movies and take pics lol ) ...ive been insisting on the fact that he ll most likely be masturbating to those videos for a while cause i wont be an option lmao
(again, sorry if tmi lol)
We definitely do it less than pre-pregnancy, but I feel like my drive has kicked back in more than 1st trimester (but not to pre-pregnancy levels). DH was super into it 1st tri and initiated it all the time, now it's less - probably because baby girl is a little more "real" to him.

@HollyGolightly09 I actually asked my doctor about orgasm hurting the baby. She said in all likelihood the baby enjoys the small uterine contractions. Kinda like a hug.
DH and I have really slowed down to maybe once or twice a week. I don't feel a huge boost in sex drive and it all kinda freaks DH out. But I think the main reason we aren't as eager is because I have a sensitive cervix and every time I spot for about a day after. You'd think we'd be used to it at 16w, but every time it still causes stress for both of us. It's a major bummer.

AFM sex is off the table for us, per doctors orders. Quite frankly I just don't have the energy for it right now. I'm behind everyone in the group, still in the first tri. Maybe things will change in the next couple of weeks.
Glad some one of you are finally starting to feel back to your sexual goddess status.
My drive is is much higher now, but I'm so sick and tired still we hardly ever have time. Makes me so sad. When we do have time, I will say I am much more sensitive but it can be really uncomfortable at times. DH is a bit on the bigger side and it's like there isn't enough room. I've never been told I have a low cervix, and who knows if that's the issue, but it's like he hits it or something. As for the bump, the bigger it gets, the more I feel like he's squishing it. Doggy styles and me on top are best.
Edit because I forgot this part. @lap018 my doctor never told me that about the O in late pregnancy. Wonder if I should ask this time?

@amandarene112 And yaaas. DH was snuggling and i just put my butt against him and he went "you dont want to cuddle you just want to use me right now" i said yep. Aaaand it was a lot of fun. I think I have missed having sex w/o the pressure of procreating, bc i am enjoying it so much more. I asked him after if hes still weirded out by my stomach and he said yeah but doing it from behind helps a lot haha. I laughed and said its only gonna get bigger so get over it lol
My sex drive has definitely made a comeback, and I am loving it! While we don't get to do it as often as before thanks to renovating the house we just purchased, we still get it on at least 3 days a week.
Edited because I can't spell
