sex, anyone sles having problems - Page 2  

post #21 of 32
Dzenjen,

Thanks so much. Part of my problem is that nothing else really makes me feel better about not having sex. DH can be sweet and solicitous, and wonderful, and I'm still unhappy about not getting any. SIGH.

We talked over the whole safety issue, and then had terrific sex. Once. About a month ago. I can't really say that I'm suffering from insecurity about being sexy while pregnant, just that I feel like he finds me as sexy as a root vegetable any time, at any size. Unfortunately he just perceives it as another responsibility and if I try and talk to him about it he's feels more pressured and has less sex drive.

Gonnabeamom, hugs to you. It's hard when two people in a couple have different libido levels, and it definitely gets harder during pregnancy.
I don't really have any advice to offer unfortunately, but know that I'm thinking of you and I hope it can work itself out.

I was reading through this thread with my mouth open in awe... all of these pregnant women having a lot of sex!! I finally read where some gals just aren't into it... I've been feeling guilty and awful about the fact that I've lost interest. Not in my husband, just in the sex part! Glad to know there are others. (It doesn't help me at all for him to read about amped sex drive in a pregnancy book!)

this is my third pregnancy and the first time I have been remotely interested. the first two times I could have done without it the whole 9 months

Still having sex over here (23 weeks). I've found that being on top works well, so does "doggie style". I hate saying that phrase but oh well. I am a SAHM so I don't have that stress from working FT, but DD does wear me out. I still have energy for sex. Last time we stopped in the last few weeks. This time I think we are just going to continue until I go into labor. I hope that the sperm will help my cervix ripen and possibly induce labor. We'll see.

My sex drive is like negative a thousand. I can't even think of anything but going to sleep when we get in bed. Ugh.

I totally understand. The only position that I can enjoy without discomfort is spooning, but since getting pregnant, I'm never in the mood either... and we were intimate daily before. Now, it's once a week and it's more of an obligation than anything. I totally understand - between hormones and being tired sex is the last thing on many pregant women's minds.

Man am I ever jealous of all of you doin' it! In between a cosleeping (or co-notsleeping) toddler, a travelling husband, home reno and part time work for me, yeah...I want/need it BAAAAD but usually fall asleep before we can do anything about it. Waaaaah! With my first PG we were able to act on our uh...urges...whenever, wherever. Now it's usually on our LR floor or in the babe's unused bedroom :LOL Ahhh parenthood...

But I found doggie style to be the most effective. Could never really get a handle on spooning...and missionary went out the window ages ago.

i always get more amped when i'm pregnant, apparently. my dh is still on board, thank goodness, after a short-term pelvic rest. i'm lucky he'll still give me the time of day, i'm so huge. :LOL

Well, my drive is always higher than dh's, and especially now in pregnancy! It does seem that we both find me sexier while PG, though . Alas, this is the last time.... The hard thing is that even though my drive is high, my energy is NOT, and sleep simply wins out. Vicky (my plug-in "helper" ) is getting quite the workout these days, cuz it requires no energy whatsoever, and takes all of 30 seconds! Anyway, we always find that doggie style works best for us -- never quite got a handle on the spooning one, either.

By the way, "bodacious ta-tas" is cracking me up!

my biggest problem now is that the baby always decides to move around a lot while we are trying to have sex. It feels really weird then and is a little distracting. Anyone else have this problem?

I haven't experienced that (truth be told I haven't experienced much sex at all...) but that sounds so wierd, I think it would just turn me off! I guess your baby knows where he/she came from and is happy to see mom and dad gettin' some lovin'!
