Dh and I haven't done the deed since I found out I was pregnant 3 weeks ago. Just really can't be arsed, combination of being very very tired but mainly no desire at all.

Please tell me this will change?!

it might do it might not. I'm coming up to the 30 weeks and still waiting for the wanting to do it all day every day in every way possible!

Oh god, we never did it the whole 9 months. I couldn't think of anything worse.

HTH Xmas Grin

Normal Grin

Everyone's different. No shenanigans here from around +test to around 20 weeks. Then things perked up a bit. Now it's gone quiet again.

haha, my baby's 8 months and I can count on one hand how often we've humped since conceiving. When I get the urge we do it good and proper though if that's any reassurance?

Grumpla · 08/12/2011 12:10

I segued nicely from being physically able
to have sex but not wanting to, to wanting to but being in so much pain from back, hips etc that I find it really difficult to!

We have tried it a few times, joke that it is getting ready for having sex when we are pensioners Grin as there is lots of "MmmmmARGH NO MY SPINEmmmmmm" odd cracking noises and strange maneuverings involved Blush

It's not forever though. And first time round I was quite up for it in 2nd and 3rd trimesters so hopefully this will be the case for you!

Make sure you keep cuddling, kissing etc though, it's important to keep the intimacy etc alive even if you don't fancy swinging from the chandeliers.

Xmas Grin at Foxy That's how I feel, poor DH!

My desire for penetrative sex has gone out the window entirely (am almost 25 weeks) - I think we've done it once since conception, but are happy with Other Things. Insomnia isn't helping, plus the baby tends to kick at unhelpful moments, which makes us both giggle and rather kills the sexual mood! I'm not worried about it, though.

foxy and rhinestone - I'm the same.

I'm 30 weeks now, work away from home during the week at the moment and every Friday when I come home poor old DP optimistically asks me if there's any sign of the 'horny phase' as yet? Xmas Grin There is most definately no sign... Poor chap.

Rhinestone · 08/12/2011 13:51

Dh is being totally wonderful about all this and no pressure from him at all! But I feel like I've inadvertently turned him into a mere sperm donor and now he's done his 'bit' I have no further interest in him!!!

Lol rhinestone- I know exactly what you mean. My OH is just lovely and supportive but I feel bad about not being interested in the slightest. He;s lovely and yet I'd rather sit on the sofa and eat crisps. Pregnancy is a strange thing.

Missgiraffe1 · 08/12/2011 22:07

I had zero interest in sex from bfp until around 13/14 weeks, then .... BAM!! the second trimester horn set in!! And my DH keeps telling me how fabulous I look, and I believe him now. Just treated myself to some fancy, frilly babydolls & thongs from La Senza for when he's back from current work trip, and can't wait to [put them on and jump his bones!!! I am now almost 19 weeks. (The test is whether my sore boobs can handle being bra-less for a while!)

NewBikeForChristmas · 08/12/2011 22:15

DD is 7 weeks old, and we havn't since we were TTC. I felt crap all pg, and now have sore CS scar (and an infant. and a preschooler).

FirstTImePregnancy · 09/12/2011 07:15

I'm so glad lots of you haven't done it for a while! I was starting to worry that the 'horny phase' hadn't set in yet. I'm 29 weeks and we have done it probably twice since conception. We went on a little holiday which helped, but otherwise I'm too tired or there's some new ailment which prevents it! At first sore boobs, now sore back.

It helps to talk about it if you can, and def keep up the intimacy in other ways. We are very cuddly, affectionate and play fight a lot. Think it's important that even though I don't want sex, I show him that it's not his fault. We actually tried to schedule in a night for sex but even that failed!! Blush

Florin · 09/12/2011 08:20

We didn't do it from conception until about 8weeks, then we did occasionally by 10 weeks I was really up for it so hoping dh is making the most of it while this phase lasts Grin
I have a feeling when dh can feel the baby kicking it will put him off

Rhinestone · 09/12/2011 13:19

Ok, did it last night and it was great! Grin. Think I'm feeling back to normal.
