I tried to DTD with DH the other day and it was ok for a bit, but my belly is so low that it was rubbing on his and it kinda just hurt my skin. Don't really plan on trying that again for a while. Poor DH has had to "help himself" for weeks now as I am only in the mood about once a month lately. I feel terrible because he is used to having me when ever but he doesn't even bother to try any more because he is sure that I am not in the mood. But honestly I am starting to wonder if maybe that would be the only thing that could get the baby off my brain for a little bit.

I have been having some pretty intense BH and I am starting to hate them. I wish they would be real already. I am super anxious now.

I keep wanting to DTD, as sperm helps ripen the cervix.
It's a good inducer haha

But as soon as my head hits the pillow I'm out for the count.

Katiie - I wish it was that easy for me to fall asleep! Last night was the first in about 3 or 4 days that I got good sleep and didn't wake up in pain. She takes the time I am trying to use for sleep to move her little feet up into my rib cage and wiggle her little toes into all the nooks and crannys in there and it becomes quite sore.

DH is the only one who can fall asleep that fast, and before my LO ran out of room I used to be able to as well. Ahhh, it was nice haha

I'm with you Katie! I'm so tired lately I could sleep forever! Nearly fell asleep in work the other day!

Poor hubby's shattered too, and has taken to sleeping I spare room when he's home! This working away sucks!

I was the same with my first.
He ALWAYS kept his toes in my ribs and kept me up till 3/4am!!
This time I'm glad the insomnia is staying away!!! X

I too been having a bit of an increase of CM but not loads.

DH and I don't DTD every night but plan on it come tomorrow night. LOL and I joked with DH that I was too tired then he should just make a turkey baster deposit

 

[dreamer_x]

We DTD last night for the first time since Christmas, OH's been almost pleading for it for the past 3 weeks! He won't 'help himself', apparently because it's 'not the same', so he suffers until I give in!
I wish I could fall asleep quickly though, OH can, within minutes once he gives up trying to win me over! LOL
I've lost part of my plug since we did it last night though so I'm starting to feel positive!

 

[Katiie]

I've been trying to DTD !!!

But everytime we try my son pops in the bedroom and ends up in there all flipping night

Yea... insomnia! I didn't have it with my DS but it takes me ages to fall asleep (usually around 1am), and then I wake up 5 - 8 times a night just tossing and turning (and recently my toddler has been waking up at night too (from 4am - 6am), so then I'm awake because I can hear him through the baby monitor!). I think I sleep an average of 4 - 5 hours per night max, and then not much longer than an hour unbroken at a time. *sigh*

Re: DTD... I have had absolutely 0 sex drive for most of the pregnancy. I think we've been 'averaging' once every 3 - 4 weeks. Poor DH, but he's been really good about it and doesn't comment/complain (and the last 2 times we DTD I got thrush right after, so now neither of us really wants to try). Maybe if I get desperate and overdue we might attempt it. But if I have to 'suffer' through all the pregnancy symptoms, then DH can suffer through no sex

sorry I am just getting back to everyone regarding being induced on the 26th (so early as my due date is February 2). Quite honestly I am not 100% certain I am being induced "for the right reasons." I am finally measuring right on track in regards to fundal height (at my last appointment I was 37+5 and I was measuring between 37 and 38). According to my ultrasound at 36+5 the baby is in the 68th percentile and about 7lbs. I know the size of baby's head is in the 92nd percentile according to the last u/s and my dr. keeps asking if I want to try to deliver this baby vaginally and of course I do, so maybe that's why I am being induced. I am not upset about being induced, just scared of the unknown (LABOR) and what to expect. It is strange to think that this time next week my life will be completely different. I go in on Sunday evening at 9pm and will hopefully have baby by Monday.

Guess it is time to find a new room to DTD in. Get DS settled and then continue somewhere else.

 

[Katiie]

In too tired to DTD anyway

Been having niggles all day!

lost my mucus plug about an hour ago, i know that could really mean nothing, but its reassuring that at least my body is doing what it is supposed to do.
