Crazy pregnancy libido

This is quite embarrassing to write hence why I have name changed. I wonder whether others have experienced a massively increased sex drive when pregnant?

In normal life my libido is pretty average. DH and I sleep together about once a week and both are satisfied with that. I rarely think about sex otherwise.

When pregnant I am sex obsessed. I could have sex several times a day if possible. Sadly it's not possible. I feel aroused at that slightest thing and I think about sex all the time. I really mean all the time. Last time my waters broke during sex because I was still gagging for it even when 9 months gone.

Other people talk about now wanting sex when pregnant and that seems the evolutionary sensible response. Am I very unusual?

I think it can be quite normal! Your hormones go absolutely crazy during pregnancy and for some women that can mean they completely lose interest in sex but others have a massive increase in their sex drive.
Handy when you're overdue and want to induce labour!

Yup. My husband loved me being pregnant. It's gone the opposite since I've had him ( much to his dismay Grin )
