sex drive in pregnancy

I'm six months pregnant and horny like never before. Is this normal?

My ex and I were always very active, but I used to have to put him off occassionally, now its every opportunity I get.

This is my first post, so please be gentle with me.

Iv heard its normal and that's what's women enjoy most through pregnancy.
For me it was the other way round-completely went off sex from about 3 months until post birth.

I was in first pregnancy but not so much in second. Yes it's normal. My dh couldn't bring himself to do it by then though!

Yes. I was climbing the walls. Couldn't think of anything else - enjoy!

Entirely normal. With all three I have had patches of being ridiculously up for it, and it was incredible too! Though towards the end it did get a bit more unwieldy... And not just me, pretty common. Enjoy! Xx

Oh my goodness yes! I had twins 17 weeks ago and was sooooooo horny!!!!! I spent 3 weeks in hospital and the lack of sex was the worst bit. The last few weeks before I had them was so uncomfortable and I was giant but still forced DH made sweet sweet love. It's never gone back down either come to think of it.. 10 days after CS back at it BlushBlushBlush

I'm just doing a lot on all fours, seems to overcome the massive belly problem! Or enjoying myself while he's asleep lol

The only problem I found at the end was that an orgasm set off the Braxton-Hicks! Hubby definitely enjoyed himself, despite my bump limiting things a bit, and definitely carried on after... Three sections and longest we managed to wait was 9 days... Maybe why we are planning a fourth?

My midwife said that sex was the best way to start pregnancy (I went 12 days overdue). DP still laughs at the "get up those stairs and shag me senseless" as soon as he got home from work. I was still induced!
