My husband and I had a baby 4 months ago. sex has not really been high on the agenda since as we're rarely in the same bed for long enough. In fact we've only done it twice in 4 months.

Now husband keeps waking in the night having ejaculated in his shorts! is this normal or a sign something is wrong?

Totally and utterly normal.

A man needs to ejaculate approx once a month due to the build up of sperm, night time emissions are natures way of sorting him out, he's obviously not sorting himself out.

Second what Mal says - totally normal.

Am 12-13 weeks pg and not had sex now for over 2 months (nausea). Asked DH in bed the other night if he had been sorting himself out and he said no but he had had a few wet dreams recently. I asked if I had starred in them and he "couldn't remember"

Third what Mal says - totally normal.

Umm, there isn't really a build-up of sperm. They get reabsorbed if not ejaculated. And, yes, wet dreams are normal.

There is indeed a build up of sperm in the epydidimis and of prostatic fluids.
Sperm take longer than a month to be reabsorbed by the body - I did extensive research before my DH had his vasectomy. It took 6 weeks for the congestion to resolve itself in his case as obviously ejaculation had no effect on the build up.
