To ask you about sex in pregnancy?

[CinnamonSal]

I can see it far enough. I don't have the slightest inclination to do it. I am now in my 3rd trimester and can probably count on one hand how many times we have 'done it' since i fell pregnant. Feel a bit bad for DP (not that bad right enough). AIBU to him??

I can't bear the thought of it. DH, bless him, knew it was likely after the last one went the same way - every now and then he chances his arm and asks me if I fancy a bit, but he takes it well when I say no. I feel sorry for him as well but there's no way I'm giving in.

When DS went overdue, we did try to have sex to bring on the birth - but it was, ahem, inconclusive, as DH kept thinking of the baby (we'd seen Knocked Up not too long previously and it had affected DH) and I just really wasn't into it at all. Terrible experience, no chance of repeating that one.

I just hope I feel a bit more like it afterwards - last time it took me 7m to let him anywhere near me (he was very patient, poor bloke) - he knows he doesn't stand much chance this side of New Year but we'll see how it goes.

Didyousmash - no not at all it gives me the perfect excuse not to partake!

farfallarocks - we were the same; I was as keen as ever, he found it too bizarre to go from one minute talking to the baby as if it could hear everything we said, and the next moment telling ourselves it was blissfully unaware of anything we were up to. So the upshot was it gradually dwindled to nothing at all at about six months. Followed by three months of continued nothing afterwards due to exhaustion, lack of opportunity etc...but we're getting there!

Anyway OP, FAR more relevant, IMHO, is the fact that you're on Prozac. I was on it for about six months over 10 years ago, at the same time as I began my first sexual relationship, so at the time I had nothing to compare myself to, but the difference once I came off it was astronomical. It totally shuts down your sex drive, and if you're pregnant at the same time...really not surprising you don't fancy it.

Minty i do think its the prozac. I have been on other anti-ds before and they didnt have this effect. I have heard prozac is bad for this particular side effect!
