I have to say I'm more up for it when DH does more around the house or asks me how I'm feeling rather than just looking at me pleadingly!

It shows how much sex is in the head, doesn't it?

Anyway, good for you, anyone who's at it like rabbits!

This is hilarious!!!! I thought I was the only one not really at it because everyone else keeps saying they're so horny! We've had sex about 3 times since I found out I was pregnant, and I'm 23 weeks.
My reasons for not doing it

  1. am a bit scared orgasms will bring on labour
  2. don't really want to
  3. am too tired
  4. feel quite self concious - ie, if I was going 'yeah baby give it to me' (not that I'd do that anyway but you know what I mean) I would feel like a twat now that I am 'with child.' I feel really happy but a bit like I am going through a life change and therefore unable to be a love godess.
  5. partner is working really long hours and is too tired anyway
  6. he's not that into sex now either
  7. he's said I should give him more blow jobs instead but I can't face it! And I told him that!
  8. just want to go to sleep at night.
  9. feel worried about the baby when we do do it, and instaed of thinking 'Oh yeah give it to me' I just think 'is the baby ok? how wierd there is a baby in there. I wonder what the baby thinks of this'. I could go on but all of this equals feeling unsexy and not much shagging going on at Macmac Towers I can tell you all!!!!

Am just pleased I'm not alone!

We have only just started again at 17 weeks, up until now I was puking several times a day and not up to it.

I didn't really find pregnancy made much difference either way really. Perhaps we had sex a little less often than normal as I was pretty exhausted but still a few times a week throughout both pregnancies. Positions became a bit restricted towards the end though. Both times we had sex the night before the baby was born (1st time round I'd been told it might help start labour.... seemed to work!!) second time I was having a planned section and so we knew it would be a couple of weeks before we were able to do anything again so we had to make the most of it!

I didn't have sex at all while pregnant with either of my DS's. Ex H said it didn't seem right.

I was sick and had back problems throughout pregnancy....

But still, I felt sooooo sexy ! I would wear figure hugging clothes, my hair was thick and shiny, my boobs perky and my belly big and beautiful.

When I was about months though, my DH didn´t want it anymore as he was afraid he might hurt the baby.

I remember being really frustrated and cross about it.

....number left out...When I was 7 months that is.

my dp says he finds my incredibly sexy, am 6 months gone, we have sex 3/4 times a week, my sex drive has gone up big time.
at begining of pregnancy there wasnt much but i had bad sickness, now it hasnt changed anything.

with my other 3 kids i was the same, only time sex dwindled was right at end pregnancy when head was right down and it got uncomfortable but then we had other things

Felt like death for the first 4 months and the sex was not very relaxed. Middle trimester got randy a couple of times. 34 weeks now and no sex for a few weeks, just started on the perineal massage and was hoping for a good seeing to but neither of us found it very sexy, I was actually quite uncomfortable! Tried to get comfy and lustful after but with SPD it was a no go! Oh well, have to massage for 5 mins every day so hopefully the mood will take us sooner or later!

With ds not off sex, though less than pre-preg. With dd several scares with bleeds put us of really. This time, who knows, I'm only 5 weeks and haven't seen DH since finding out (he works away from home), though the memory of dd's pregnancy is putting me off already.
Saying that I did make sure that we had sex regularly when I got to the end, because it's supposed to help start labour and well, I think it's true as well. Both came the day after we had sex...
