Sex when pregnant ��

[Brunette28]

Hi ladies just wanted to see if anyone else is in the same boat as me. I'm 16weeks and just really not in the mood for it AT ALL. I feel really sorry for my partner because he is a man at the end of the day but just not interested in it in the slightest. He's been fine so far but how long will this last? Will I feel like this the whole pregnancy

From previous experience it usually changes. I've felt differently in each pregnancy. My 2nd pregnancy I had 0 interest in sex from 8 - 32 (ish) weeks.
I'm a great believer in the benefits of sex (blood flow, intimacy etc ). But if you don't feel like it - use it as a chance to focus on and enjoy the company and emotional closeness with your partner. Don't rush yourself

When I was pregnant with my first child, I had no desire to have sex whatsoever for the whole pregnancy....however I suffered from hyperemesis. Once again I'm
Pregnant with hyperemesis, in the early stages and my dh knows not to even ask me as I'm sick as a dog and the answer will be no. I couldn't even enjoy things like cuddling him and same now as the smell of him makes me vomit. Very difficult on a relationship but it doesn't last forever luckily.

Can't remember how I was at 16 weeks, but during thev3rd trimester I was on fire!

We've done it twice since I conceived, I'm now 23 weeks. Poor OH. I'm just soooo not in the mood. I thought I would be last weekend but I've got awful heart burn and cystitis so no chance!

Not in the mood! Don't touch my boobs! etc. Actually DH sweetly thinks he may 'dislodge' it anyway . . . . heehee!

I am always tired by the time I drag myself to bed at the late time of 9pm (I feel so old)
I don't think you should worry too much. DP should understand as does mine (currently 15 weeks) hopefully it will change soon!

I was too worried in the first trimester to really enjoy having sex (it had taken us 4 years to conceive and I had a lot of pelvic pain).
Now I am in the third trimester I feel more in the mood but DH is too worried to really enjoy it - thinks he might trigger labour. So it has been a pretty dry 8 months.

I'm 29+2 and we've done it once since I conceived! Between the constant nausea and exhaustion of the first and part of the second trimesters, which was quickly followed by piles and general swelling down below, there is no way DH is going anywhere near me.

With DD1 however I seem to recall that there was a time in the second trimester when I was quite up for it.

I'm always so bloated by the end of the day, I don't feel like doing it then.

Mornings however...

(12 weeks)

With you on this. 18 weeks and really can't consider it. Have no interest in sec for myself at all. Can still do nice things for him, though. When not hugely knackered, which is all the time. So, um, yes very quiet round here.

I've never really lost interest! I've been lucky so far though and this has been a bit of a unicorn pregnancy, but 14 weeks in and we're still fucking like newlyweds/bunnies/whatever.

I have to say that if anything I find that my libido actually increases during pregnancy. Except for the days when I was truly laid up with morning sickness I've been really up for it... DP doesn't know what's hit him, poor man! In my first pregnancy it only became challenging later on when you have to get a bit creative with positions to accommodate the humongous belly!

My libido increased in 2nd trimester but towards 3rd trimester i would getting faint bleeding after sex which MW said is normal (vag more sensitive or something) but worried both of us. That and whenever I do feel keen i get a bout of thrush and won't jump on him then. So I consider DH lucky that he's got some action in the last 8 months but now i'm 35+ weeks, exhausted, fed-up, achey and moody I don't think we'll be getting amongst anytime soon!

We're not fussed, we still enjoy cuddles and quality time together which is what matters most.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one the joys of being pregnant ay
