Raging Libido! « Back to Group Discussions

[LionessMom]

anybody else? i always get this way about 18 or 20 weeks. this time is worse though. my poor husband doesnt feel well and i am so caught up i cant sleep. it is affecting my emotions too. ugh. 

seriously, anybody else ever deal with this. cold showers and stuff is not helping and DH just cant keep up with how he is feeling right now.

[KristaDJ]

Can I borrow some? :-P Normally I turn into a 16yo boy as soon as I hit the second tri and this time I'm like "let's play cards instead! :-)" 
I certainly know what you mean, though. I usually have such vivid and sexually explicit dreams that I attack my poor husband in the middle of the night and can barely get through a shower without getting turned on lol. And If I don't get enough sex I get extremely crabby and weepy; I'm glad hubby is able to roll over and forget about it.
I hope he feels better soon and you can start enjoying it; that's always one of my favorite parts of pregnancy. :-D 

[wanderinblues]

i'll take some too lol

my libido has been lower since getting pregnant and i'm hoping it will pick up soon so i can keep up wth poor DP who is going crazy over my enormous boobs.

[LionessMom]

i was told it means i am having a girl, but i got this way when pregnant with my son too. the only difference is that usually my breasts dont get sensitive. this time they are on fire. i hear ya about not making it through a shower. i even tried to turn it to cold to calm me down but it made it worse! i keep texting dh all this to try and get him excited. but he has been feeling sick. he has been trying to "help" me out as much as he can though. lol.

my youngest is fully weaned now and even decided to start sleeping in her sisters bed. maybe that will encourage dh too. ;)  i would really love to not feel quite like this right now. it is interfering with everything. like housework and errands and stuff. talk about a one track mind.

Oh God, I'm the opposite. I feel like right now I could go the whole rest of my life without having sex and be totally fine. And I AM having a girl. And I have a sexy DH, and we normally have a great sex life. Don't know what my problem is.

[acordio]

I was like that in my first trimester.  It is still an increase for me right now but not like it was during the 1st trimester.  Libido increase is one thing that has my husband convinced we are having a girl.  With my boys I had ZERO interest but with my daughter I for sure had an increase and am way more sensitive in a good way :P

[tri31]

My appetite for sex was stronger with my last pregnancy (a boy). I am finally interested again, funny it was after reading artical that reminded me about the health benefits of regular "activity". Just like flipping on a light switch.

Hmmm, I have been pregnant with a boy twice before and I don't remember what my sex-drive was like with them but I know with my girls I was out of control lol. We all suspect that this baby is a boy so maybe that is an indication. I usually don't buy into the "you're having a girl/boy because..." things but, because boy an girl babies put off different hormones, there is a possibility that it could make a difference. Or maybe I'm just grasping for straws because I want this to be my last baby and I want it to be a boy LOL 

[LionessMom]

it is nice to know i am not alone. lol. the books only say you could have an increase in libido, they dont say i would be chasing my husband down all the time. 

[jocelyndale]

Absolutely out of control.  Have been from the start.  It's insane.  DH works at home, too, so I follow him around like a cat in heat.

I was this way with my first pregnancy, too, but it wasn't such a hassle because I didn't have a young child to consider when luring my husband into compromising situations where I could easily take advantage. ;)

[Lite]

I wish!  I've had ZERO sex drive since the beginning of this pregnancy.  I really hope it starts up soon.  DH has been great, but I feel guilty not "supporting" him.  I wonder if we are going to have a boy.....lol

[rebirth]

No. I don't really want sex while Preg... It's often painful (only while expecting) and takes a lot to get me there. But it's been way better this pregnancy then last, thankfully!!!

Last time we DTD like 6 times the entire pregnancy. This time is way more ten that, probably 3x that already. My husband is sure thankful!


Doula mama to my nursing toddler Noah

[jocelyndale]

I have fantasies about putting my unpreschooled child in school so that I can free up more daytime hours to lure DH away from his work duties.  

I won't.  I'll just send kiddo outside to play in the yard with the dog.  

[lalagordo]

I am like this especially this second trimester!!  I have not ever been this way pregnant before though!   I get the weepy, crabby if I don't get it.  Well more like mean b&^%$ towards hubby if he doesn't comply fast enough!  I feel like a man!!!

me too! i started so many fights bc of it. he was on some meds that totally sacked his libido at the same time mine started raging. arrgh. if it has been 3 days i start getting weepy too esp if i try to seduce him and he turns me down. i actually threw a gatorade bottle at him the other day. sheesh. it will be totally opposite after baby is born though. 

[lalagordo]

I know I will be totally different too after baby!  I make fights about other stuff-stuff I shouldn't het upset about then later realize its because im not getting enough!!  :(  I need to tell him to take advantage now cause it will be all over this summer!

[LionessMom]

at least my DH seems to be coming around (and getting the meds out of his system). things are a little better now. lol. i think my libido might be winding down a little. which will make my dh feel a little less hounded after. 

[lalagordo]

I am winding dowm a bit too!  How many weeks are you?

[OceanGypsy87]

Um, yeah. This is my first pregnancy. But damn I am a hot little firecracker! I usually have a fairly high sex drive anyway, but now it's ridiculous. And what makes it worse, my sister lives with us in our STUDIO apartment. Yes, studio. She moved in a few days after my BFP. And I will tell you she gets pushed out the door often. Unfortunately i tend to get the most turned on right at bedtime. >< So frustrating!
