Do you dtd now you're pg?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Stom91 · 31/08/2013 22:16

i did, but coming to the end of 2nd trimester and feel too tired and not up to it really.

formerblonde · 31/08/2013 22:33

Very little. Too tired and find it uncomfortable!

Writerwannabe83 · 31/08/2013 22:40

I'm 10 weeks and haven't let my husband anywhere near me!! I was too scared of causing any damage!

Ironically, as logic would have it, I have had 2 episodes of bleeding anyway (needing emergency scans) so my thought processes were a bit pointless

Gerty1002 · 31/08/2013 22:40

40+1 and have dtd every few days to try evict baby... very few times in third trimester other than last two weeks, now and again in second trimester and rarely in first due to bad sickness/exhaustion. Only reduced due to exhaustion and physical capabilities really.

mrspaddy · 31/08/2013 22:41

Didn't for first trimester as doctor advised. Now at last week.. Yes but not often.. Not comfortable.

Excited2meetmyprincess · 31/08/2013 23:35

28 weeks and only dtd twice as I was too ill, then now I am quite big and its too uncomfortable plus my DH doesn't feel very comfortable doing it now that he can feel baby move. He says it feels weird and he can't relax xx

Stom91 · 31/08/2013 23:52

Yeah my dp has said he wants to go celibate until after the birth as he find it too weird lol (I wonder how long he will last!) lol

Excited2meetmyprincess · 31/08/2013 23:54

Haha stom I thought that but mine has gone 14 weeks now :-( x

AnythingNotEverything · 01/09/2013 00:05

Not during 1st trimester - knackered and very sore boobs!

3-4 times a month during 2nd trimester. Limited to one position but still both enjoying it.

3 trimester - a few times so far. I'm tired though and feel like a whale.

My libido is very hit and miss. I suspect we'll keep on until quite late on though, if logistics allow!

TobyLerone · 01/09/2013 00:16

Of course. Tbh, DH is even more up for it now! He reckons he wants me to be pregnant forever. I think it's the boobs.

Stom91 · 01/09/2013 00:24

My libido was very high at beginning and then at about 14 weeks it went and hasn't come back...

excited yeah my dp has gone about 10 weeks now.. He did try about 4 weeks ago but I was feel fat from having a real baby and a food baby as I'd eaten loads lol.. So it was tough haha x

GoodbyeBeer · 01/09/2013 08:11

Yes, but not quite as often as before coz I'm not always up for it. DH finds my preg body irresistible! Growing bump is starting to get in the way a bit though.

FraggleRock77 · 01/09/2013 08:23

1st trim, no as bleeding. Tried at 14 Wks and ended in a massive bleed and hospital admission with query miscarriage. Enough to put us both off. We are waiting until after the birth. Still very close but we both miss full sex

thecakeisalie · 01/09/2013 08:53

Yes we dtd a reasonable amount but at least once a week. I actually find I'm more interested when pregnant and find things are more sensitive so its errr more 'enjoyable' for me! My morning sickness has been all day long with this pregnancy though so we've not been as active as before as I feel rotten in the evenings.

With my other two pregnancies we probably dtd more than normal for the 1s & 2nd trimester and it was only in the 3rd things slowed down as my hips were just a bit too sore and the mechanics of it get a bit difficult lol! I think dtd is what started labour with ds1. I'm seriously miserable without any though so tend to find a way!

BigKicker · 01/09/2013 12:13

Now that I'm in 3rd trimester not happening at all my size and limited mobility is impacting and I think all the visible movements of baby is putting dh off! Missing the good times though...

Razzdazz · 01/09/2013 13:03

Lots more than when not pregnant to be honest!! Just over 34 weeks now and restricted to the one position but still enjoying it!! Baby due to be delivered via section this Friday so feel like using up all of our sessions before then lol!!

fluffyraggies · 02/09/2013 08:16

Raging libido here 20 weeks.

DH went through a stage of worrying as i had a bleed about 6 weeks ago, but he's over that now as all seems ok again.

He found me being pregnant very erotic for the first trimester. We were at it like rabbits. When we had the bleed panic the bubble burst a bit and he was more concerned about baby's health than his urges, lol.

We DTD roughly twice a week. (i'd do it more, but don't want to seem ... pushy )

TallulahBetty · 02/09/2013 08:32

We didn't DTD the whole 9 months!! DH was scared of hurting baby and found it weird

Shellywelly1973 · 02/09/2013 08:32

Can't imagine going months with dtd!!

Its varied according to how Im feeling.

WentOnABearHunt · 02/09/2013 09:08

2-4 times a week, so only a little less than before. I am third trimester and we have found a few positions that still work well for us, including the very inappropriate use of a birthing ball!!!
