Sex drive

[rakkoon]

Did your sex drive change after you became pregnant?

I'm in my 12th week now. In the last 2 weeks my sex drive is high. Of course my husband is very happy. He has been asking me "Is this normal?" I told him this morning we had to start trying different positions because the last time (me on the bottom) I felt like his stomach was putting pressure on the baby. He just gave me this smile and said "Wow, ok." Normally I'm not open to try anything different.

I have an unusually low sex drive and it's gotten even lower since I've been pregnant. I've read that some women experience a high sex drive and some experience a low one. Either way is normal. Just enjoy it!

Mine got higher in my second trimester, and now it's none existant (just into my third trimester now), but I think this is mainly to do with the fact that I'm so tired all the time, baby kicks me none stop when I go to bed and I'm getting really bad heart burn at night as well. I got a lie in on wednesday and I felt my mojo returning but hubby wasn't interested, very annoying!

Rakoon, have you tried putting a pillow under your bum, it tilts your body slightly so hubby isn't directly on bump. It worked for me while bump was still quite small, not so good now though.

Mine has always been higher while pregnant...

I read that one's sex drive can get higher or lower, I'm only 9 weeks along so I don't know if I'll go either way or not. In one pregnancy book I looked at, it showed several positions which are to keep stress off the bump, hips and knees...basically we plan on using whatever works.

Mine has been zero (with one exception ) while being pregant. Though my doctor has told me I need to refrain anyhow.

Yeah, I'm into different positions now and I'm not even THAT pregnant yet...

I told my husband this morning that the books I've been reading say that when you get into your second trimester your sex drive goes up he was like but so far I think I'm back to normal. I am open to having sex if he is, before I would give excuses like "I'm tired" or "What about tomarrow?"

 

[MissAstridSapphire]

Yeah, my husband told me that my sex drive will increase. Then he told me he won't know what to do with me because it is already high.
