Pregnancy

Talk about every stage of pregnancy, from early symptoms to preparing for birth.

Is anyone really sexually rampant, or is that something that's been made up to give men false hope?

My 3rd pregnancy and once again I'd rather not bother with all that sex stuff.

Sex is what got us in this hideous situation - do you really think anyone wants to repeat the experience urgggh

isaidno · 10/01/2008 21:00

my sentiments exactly - poor DH!

Nah. Went through a more than my average phase, but don't worry, it quickly passed.

TheIceQueen · 10/01/2008 21:03

not at all for my 1st 2 pgs. but was feeling very rampant when pg with DS3........unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately ) DH were at a very delicate stage in our relationship and it never happened at all LOL.

madamez · 10/01/2008 21:06

Well I was pretty frisky for most of my (only) pregnancy (apart from a month or so just after finding out about it). However I was single but....

(OK don't read on if easily shocked or anything)

I had a lot of fun at a lot of swingers' parties where there were plenty of men who get really turned on by PG women.
Apologies to anyone who didn't want to know that but the OP did ask...

Lizzylou · 10/01/2008 21:08

Well dome you Madamez, am in awe as I hated sex during pg, both times and I have fairly high sex drive.

Mum2b2BabyRoo · 10/01/2008 21:21

No interest whatsoever - which is very unusual for me!

whomovedmychocolate · 10/01/2008 21:24

I'd still rather have a hobnob. I don't think that's related to pregnancy though

daisynova · 10/01/2008 21:28

I'd rather go to sleep to be honest and poor DH doesn't have a clue what he has done wrong - erm you got me up the duff you silly plonker!

onepieceoflollipop · 10/01/2008 21:31

In my 2nd trimester with dd2 I kept leaping on dh - hope he made the most of it as dd2 is now 4 months old and I am too to tell you how little we have done it since.

He has had the snip but not the "all clear" yet - I am keen to NOT get pg again!

babylove21 · 10/01/2008 23:28

It's not my desire thats gone but the reluctance of my body that envolves anything energetic. Can't even lie back and ponder on the sex of the baby now that bump is getting in the way.
That leads me to a good thought, now it might be easier to lie on side facing the opposite way you could probably get away with watching the tv if you leave it on

On a serious note i do find worrying about the baby very off putting when it comes to sex. When i do have sex i find all my tummy goes hard and very uncomfortable, even a bit painful - i dare not even think about the big O !!

madamez - but impressed!!!

babylove - good idea about the tv watching possibilities.

But it seems with me as soon as the sperm hits the egg a switch goes off!

isaidno - I wasn't gagging for sex at all! DH and I did have sex during the 2nd and 3rd trimester, but very infrequently as i was rarely up for it. We did have sex very late into pg, in the hope it would kick labour off but that was extremely uncomfortable.

Madamez - you go girl Can understand, Dh thought I was sexy even when pg, however I just felt like a beached whale!!

harpsichordcarrier · 11/01/2008 07:59

yes, I am that stereotype
I love my body when pregnant and feel extremely attractive.
whether I am attractive or not is another question
there were also other physical changes that made sex very pleasurable.

dressedupnowheretogo · 11/01/2008 08:01

no i loved it all the way thr sorry but i have very high sex drive sorry

isaidno · 11/01/2008 08:12

don't apologise!

OP posts:
Oblomov · 11/01/2008 08:46

harpsi, what are the physical changes ?

Minkus · 11/01/2008 08:58

Last pg I was like a sex machine from about 5 months on, dh was thrilled as found my pg body quite exciting (prob just the realisation that he didn't have to worry about getting me up the spout)

This time round though I just can't see my sex drive returning- am 14 weeks and it's like my body has forgotten how to be rude!

Would like it to return though as we had the best sex when ds was still on the inside. And I couldn't wait to heal after he was born either- think maybe that all the pushing had brought things closer to the surface in my nether regions and I felt ready for it all the time even though my poor fanjo would not have thanked me for it. The seam on my jeans was a very good friend indeed for the first few weeks

harpsichordcarrier · 11/01/2008 09:54

Oblomov - increased blood flow to the entire vulvic area.
and increased breast and nipple sensitivity.

Oblomov · 11/01/2008 10:07

aaahhh, those kind of lovely benefits - tee hee.

scorpio1 · 11/01/2008 10:08

my 3rd pregnancy. i would do it all day every day if i could! am always the same when im pg. dp doesn't mind though....

jaype · 11/01/2008 10:37

Completely disinterested when pg with ds, totally the opposite when pg with dd. Must be all those extra female hormones knocking about. Roll on HRT (well, I'm sure that's what dh thinks...)!

slim22 · 13/01/2008 05:23

Like first time.
Sleeping for the first trimester and as soon as I hit 4 months, can''t get enough!
