I was just wondering if we could get a feeling for how often we ladies in the 2nd trimester have sex and what is the majority. I'll start. I have it only about once every 15 days. DH is not happy....:(

I'll be 14 weeks on Monday, and we're back to doing it nearly every day. I HATED the thought of sex (and orgasms gave me bad cramps) for the first ten weeks, but it's been all good for the past four weeks or so!

Sex, whats that??? That should answer the question!! No sex drive whatsoever!!


Amy - November 5th, 2005 12:36 PM

Goddess well your hubby is alot more happier than mine we are lucky if we have done it 6 times since June

At least once, but often twice a week. We were much more infrequent earlier on, because I have a history of miscarriage and neither of us felt comfortable having sex very often until we hit the second trimester. Even though I have the drive to have it MUCH more often than our recent 1-2 times per week, we are sticking to that for now.

I really have very little sex drive. We probably do it once a week. I do that just to keep hubby satisified.

About once a week, but only because I fall asleep before we can start anything! Hopefully, I'll start getting more energy to DTD more. I'm kind of bummed, though. I thought that your sex drive was supposed to increase when pregnant, but mine seems to have decreased. Before I was pregnant, I loved sex and had to do it at least every other day! Now I feel like I could care less sometimes. Any advice on how to increase your sex drive?

I'm with Amy...we've maybe done it 6 times since June. I please hubby other ways and I'm just not into sex...which is odd cause I used to want it way too much!! Weird.

I have the desire to have sex, but then when we do it's uncomfortable. I feel like a turkey just stuffed full of things......babies......penises. Plus I'm not exacltly the sexiest thing to look at at 25 weeks

You ladies are cracking me up! So if we get to the sex part AT ALL, how about the orgasm????? I'd like to know how you all are doing in the Big O department. I think pregnant sex SUCKS! Dana feels like a stuffed turkey - I feel like everything is rearranged or hidden, and so uncomfortable anymore! I'm so disappointed cuz I read many women find sex much more enjoyable during pregnancy. Hmm.

ive been having sex always everyday with my DH almost everyday since the 1st time we met!! pregnancy hasnt changed anything, i still have sex almost everyday, sometines twice a day if he's lucky!!.....


Chrissy - November 6th, 2005 7:08 AM

Ummmm... Once every two weeks or so. I have a problem with laughing during. I cant seem to get turned on so everything my hubby does to "seduce" me seems absolutely hilarious. It ruins the mood for him because he feels like I am laughing at him. Not to mention... I feel so nasty being naked. It so hard to move around... plus I'm so gassy...I'm more worried about ripping a big one on him to actually enjoy anything.

As much as possible everyday at least . my hubby finds me more sexy now and I feel sorry but really have a great sex drive now ,just alittle hard to get into different positions as scared to hurt the baby but spooning is the best and least uncomfortable .


Alycia - November 6th, 2005 9:51 AM

Reni - As I mentioned earlier, orgasms gave me cramps until I was about 10 weeks, so I avoided them like the plague. I'm only 14 weeks now, so I'm not giant and uncomfortable yet, and orgasms feel pretty much the same as they did pre-pregnancy. Altogether, though, my sex drive has definitely decreased. I'm just doing it every day to keep dh happy, and it's not like I mind or anything.

Every wkend only :)


EK - November 6th, 2005 7:09 PM

I've had to scam my husband into sex because I want it so much! Not because the feeling has increased or anything, I think I just want to feel the closeness. Actually, it doesn't feel great and I can't orgasm. But I still want to have sex all the time!


elizabeth - November 6th, 2005 8:17 PM
