Sex drive and Orgasms! :)

Heya,

Now normally I would be far too embarrassed to ask this question - but this is why I love this board! (...And no laughing either - lol!)

...Recently my sex drive has increased by ALOT and well... every morning for the past two weeks or so, I've been having to, erm, 'help things along' myself. Blush

Is that normal? I'm not complaining lol - just interested to know if I actually have a perk from this pregnancy! :)

What doesn't help though is that, I've never found it easy to, erm, make it over the line and so it normally turns into a 30 minute struggle! Phew!

Sorry i failed on the laughing bit... From what I have been experiencing in the last few weeks I am hoping this is normal. I don't know whether the last bit is normal though as I have the opposite issue.

I think it's normal, but I've had the opposite Envy

PoppysMom · 13/04/2011 06:26

Me too Orange :(

Second trimester? Very normal. Happened to me both times

Coppernoddle · 13/04/2011 08:00

I love sex in pregnancy!! It's amazing!!! All the way through! My husband can't take any more, bless him! He wasn't very chuffed though now we've been put on a five month sex and orgasm ban as I have grade 4 placenta previa!! :( And to top it off, they told me that two weeks ago on my 30th birthday!! Was horrified and I'm really struggling with this one! I have them in my sleep now and don't think that's good, but can seem to stop them! :)

Coppernoddle · 13/04/2011 08:01

Oh and the best thing is, I could easily have 5 orgasms in a row! Just as good as each other!! And only get that in pregnancy! Gutted!!!

Mumbybumby · 13/04/2011 08:04

First pregnancy my hormones went crazy and I couldn't get enough! Also found it really easy (minutes!) to 'get there' for the first time ever so really enjoyed it.
Second pregnancy was totally different - not sure if it was the toddler running around that put paid to it though!
I say enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! :)

spatchcock · 13/04/2011 10:43

Hasn't happened to me by 28 weeks. Could it still?? (hopeful emoticon)

saoirse86 · 13/04/2011 12:17

I had similar but DP wasn't interested. He seemed to think he was so long he'd interefere with DD's head. Ha!

Enjoy it while it lasts!

Have you got, ahem, toys to help things along?!

Melly19MummyToBe · 13/04/2011 13:42

In answer to your question, yes! You do have a perk, enjoy it while it lasts and/or you can no longer reach to 'help things along' Wink

Hehe - thanks ladies - this is why I love this board! :)

Well, I had to "help things along" again this morning - and this time it look almost 50 minutes! Shock

yep had the same in the second trimester

lolajane2009 · 14/04/2011 00:10

wow 50 minutes... will this go away in 3rd trimester?

Beccy2011 · 14/04/2011 00:27

I hope it doesn't go away completely - just that it gets easier.

If it gets much more difficult than this morning, I won't be able to have an orgasm!

lolajane2009 · 14/04/2011 00:32

i wish mine would play less hard to get

lolajane2009 · 14/04/2011 00:32

sorry more hard to get

Is it unusual to take so long to have an orgasm then? How long does it take everyone else?

Even when I'm not pregnant if I have to "help things along" is still takes 20/25 minutes to finish... Blush

These descriptions of 5 in a row (try 8!) and needing it a lot are descriptions of what I was like pre-pregnancy! I'm a lot less now, at least at the moment.

Beccy - are you really asking us how long it takes to finish? You naughty thing, you. I'm uh very fast... first orgasms take the longest (depending on how tired I am, anything up to ten minutes), but the ones that follow that are quick, quick, quick. Although I'm stopping at two or three during pregnancy.

lolajane2009 · 14/04/2011 23:48

lol i might be abnormal in my extremely quick finishing... its so odd i had no sex drive on my anti depressants that I was given till I got pregnant.

Melly19MummyToBe · 15/04/2011 09:59

Beccy I think you need to take a trip down to Ann Summers :o

Beccy2011 · 15/04/2011 22:18

Melly - thanks for the tip, but I'd be too embarrassed to buy one! Blush

...And G1nger - really, just 10 minutes? Wish I could - although it was better last time. Just 30 minutes (instead of 50!) Blush

It happened to me too
isn't it marvellous Grin

G1nger · 15/04/2011 22:24

I've been giving this place too much of my money for too long, and this (and yes, this is a bit icky of me, I know) is the best I've ever owned: www.sh-womenstore.com/Sex+Toys/Vibrators/Rabbit+Vibrators/fun_factory_tango.html

They have a store in London or you can order online. I love them.

G1nger · 15/04/2011 22:42

Oh and by the way, you can double or triple the time I take to do it by hand - especially in the morning when I'm tired! I'm not a ten minute maximum-er then.

lolajane2009 · 15/04/2011 23:15

i like the lovehoney site myself.
