Increased sex drive in pregnancy

[SuddenlyInterested]

I've name changed for this as I suspect some of my RL friends & family are MNetters.

My query is this:

Am I the only one who hasn't gone off sex completely during pregnancy?

I'm currently between 5 & 6 months (am crap at pregnancy maths & am not going to put weeks down for fear of outing myself) with DC2 and have been much more interested in sex in the last month or so than I've been for years. This didn't happen when I was pregnant with DC1 & there was no warning it was going to happen this time either.

I'm enjoying myself & DH is very pleased (if utterly knackered) but there's a litle bit of me that's worried that too much action might harm the baby. It's been a complication-free pregnancy so far & baby still seems to be very active so I'm guessing everything's still fine, but I can't quite get the nagging voice in my head to shut up!

So, just me?

Nope! I feel the same but now feel unable to enjoy myself as it makes me bleed (eek). This is common and not serious but a bit worrying all the same![embarrased]

You have no idea how glad I am that it's not just me! All the books seem to focus on how to deal with lack of libido, without mentioning those of us who seem to have taken that bit of pregnancy tradition & ignored it.

It's also not something I really want to bring up with the other pregnant mums at coffee after swimming.

I had this but only in one of 3 pg. Enjoy it, I'm pretty sure you can't do any harm, lets face it if shagging was bad in pg the human race wouldn't have lasted very long.

i am quite the opposite... a complete loss of libido

No, noy just you. With DS1 I was not interested at all. With DS2 I couldn't get enough of it.

Now pg with DC3 and somewhere in the middle.

That's how I was for the most part in my first pregnancy, with a few notable exceptions at about 7 months. This time my house is a mess, my laundry's neglected, DH is on vitamin supplements...

I think I actually was more comfortable with no libido - no worrying & you get more sleep!

i was the same (fairly low libido) throughout and finally have the raging horn at 6 months...... and dh has totally gone off it :( I feel cheated!

pettyprudence get thee to Ann Summers/lovehunny & make yourself happy!

Actually, that's a good point. Wonder if DH will continue to be this cooperative as time goes on? Or will my libido make a sudden retreat as I get more whale-like?

Guess I really should enjoy it while I can.
