So, is anyone still trying to have sex?

[mommysusie]

Or am I the only one?:

[Jster]

Trying??? I think we're pretty successful

DH was gone for a week, and I sure did miss him! It's more awkward in some ways, but I'm not about to stop...and given all the contractions I get afterward, who knows, maybe it'll help get things going at the right time

Well, I meant actually having it, lol! I have alot of contractions afterwards too. I am hoping it moves things in the right direction too!

NO.

the whole separated pubic bone thing makes me cringe at the idea of it.

last time i couldn't get enough at this point and dh was making excuses. this time it's not even on the radar screen.

[twilight girl]

Oh, heck yes! : I'm worried that after the baby is out and the hormones have subsided the sex won't rock as much as it does right now!! I told DH the other night that our dynamic is just radically different with this pregnancy, and now I have to wait for him, because I'm Oing every time and really quickly Just wish I had the energy to do it more

[luckydog]

On Sunday, we DTD TWICE!!!!! I'm (we're) dreading the postpartum dry spell. still I confess at this stage of the game I'm as least partly motivated by thoughts of the prostaglandin deposit, but I also find, like Judi, that it's verrrry nice right now. DH swears he doesn't care WHAT my motivation is.

[SarahJoy]

i haven't seen DP in almost two weeks (long story) so i don't even wanna talk about it. : (

[Sabo]

We're not like rabbits, but it does seem more often than usual. I've been pretty sensitive, so we've had to make adjustments, but I figure we should get it all in now before we have to figure out some form of contraception. I will NOT go back on bcp, so I have no idea what we'll be doing.

[wendyland]

Nope. I don't really want to, although I wish we had more intimacy in other ways. I can't wait to go back to doing it.

[NightRose]

: Nope. I think we've managed 3 times this whole pregnancy. Our body chemistry doesn't seem to get along when I'm pregnant and every time we do manage, I get a friggen yeast infection right after. But my wonderfully understanding dh says it makes it that much more awesome when we can finally get back to it, and the time when we are not lets us focus on the other wonderful things that keep us close. :

[ani'smommy]

No, but it's mostly because I have a horrible horrible cold.

[crunchymommy26]

I have a separated pubic bone (holy ouch batman) but we still managed some pretty good sex the other day.

attempts are few and far between now!

[josybear]

you managed sex with a separated pubic bone? crunchymommy, you are my new hero. i can't stand it when ds pats me on the hip, let alone...

i just reassure dh that we'll be back at it by christmas... probably.

[twilight girl]

DH swears he doesn't care WHAT my motivation is.

Same at my house!

But my wonderfully understanding dh says it makes it that much more awesome when we can finally get back to it, and the time when we are not lets us focus on the other wonderful things that keep us close.

Boy I *wish* it had been like that at my house with my last pregnancy!

[crunchymommy26]

I was really really ready for sex I guess.

I know what you mean though. Walking is excruciation and I usually laugh and ask "are you kidding?" when he gives me that look!

[danotoyou2]

Sex?!

Between being thoroughly uncomfortable from pregnancy, a couple pre-term labor scares, taking care of DS all day AND opening a new business... it hasn't happened in a couple months!!! I'm just too tired and miserable to even consider getting 'in the mood.'

DH is understanding. He doesn't pressure or complain (much). But... now that I'm about 36 weeks, I plan on encouraging those prostoglandins.

[Twinklefae]

Maybe we are just boring creatures of habit, but DF and I have DTD about once a week... for the whole pregnancy. Seems to be the limit. Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less, but we're usually pretty set.

I too am finding myself a little more motivated by cervix ripening possiblities than anything else, but my DF like so many other men doesn't care!

[quetinha]

We're about twice a week and haven't tapered off. I'm glad, because even when I'm not in the "mood" I think it makes me feel wanted and therefore "better" about myself. He was joking the other night about whether or not we could even do it in the hospital

[mama2walden&luna]

Oh yes, with the exception of last week, it's been pretty regular. Now, especially since I've gotten to 37 weeks, it's ON! I'm going to turn into a prostiglandin junkie! Woo hoo!!

The only problem is getting dd to sleep so we can . . . .

[Emma's_Mommy]

lots of sex here......trying to get the cervix to dialate more (im 1cm and 50% effaced)
