Lets talk about-SEX

[1sttimemom]

Ok...so I have a pregnancy symptom that hasn't been talked about on the boards yet... heightened LIBIDO.

I seem to want it all the time now..I can't stop thinking about it and I...well I feel like how a guy must feel?! Does that make sense? I always had a normal sex drive but now I'm so horny all the time. I haven't heard anyone else comment about this....Does anyone else feel like this? Or has anyone else had the opposite effect?-LOW Libido?

The father and I are in a relationship but not married. And he is gone for work a lot so it's not like I can simply roll over and say "lets get it on".LOL! I hope this feeling goes away soon-or at least calm down...SERIOUSLY....

This brings to mind another question..Are there any positions that I should avoid now? I'm 17 wks preggers today! Which positions doe work best for you gals?

My DH wishes I had this side effect of pregnancy. I am not that interested to be honest, I find that my bits are really sensitive, and not in a good way, so it makes it just uncomfortable. Bless him, for he is being really good about it all.

Wish I had that problem too. LOL

Instead, I am soooo tired and my libido is very LOW!

I have this "problem" too, but OH isn't really interested in sex lately because I'm getting big (although he doesn't want to admit thats the reason), but when we do the deed, the best positions that worked for us was me on top and spoons. me on my back made my tailbone hurt, and from behind felt like he was going too deep (sorry tmi).

I wish I could take better advantage of this issue, as I've never wanted it so much before

 

[Always&4ever]

I found the best was spoons as on top hurts me due to my spd and others are uncomfortable, luckily my OH never moans about it and hopefully it will get back to normal soon

I am the same...don't know why!

me and my man will be exhausted by the time baby arrives!

 

[babyblessed]

he he just noticed that was my 69th post!!!! LOL

I had that side effect earlier, but as my bump grows, it's starting to dwindle. Any position that is comfortable for you is just fine. Have Fun!

 

[Vickie]

Never had this side effect, though DH dearly wishes I had

Hi there,

I know what you mean about this - I think it's pretty common... but annoying if the pregnancy (or whatever other reasons) mean that your other half is experiencing the opposite! (or, as you say, if your partner is away)...

There aren't really any positions that are dangerous during pregnancy, but as your pregnancy progresses, both your size and your bladder can make certain positions and deeper penetration quite uncomfortable... You'll have to figure out what works best for you guys, but you'll probably find yourselves avoiding him on top... doggy style, spooning and you on top will be most comfortable...

Good luck, and enjoy it while it lasts - as i get the feeling once we get really huge and we're achy and tired etc all the time, our libido will not be quite so heightened as it is in the 2nd trimester!

 

[Margerle]

I got it too

 

[mummy2b]

Yeah I seem to always want sex recently!! Its crazy lol, I went through a stage where I just truely didn't even want to think about having sex, and now its the only thing I think about when I get my boyfriend on his own!! lol!!! He is loving it, but we are limited to positions as some hurt to much! He is always worried about hurting me as well! Although I usually do the hard work! lol! hehe xx

I know what you mean, some days I think I need a cold shower. Sunday was the first time my hubby would have sex with me since we found out I was prego. He is weird about it, but me on the other hand, I want it non-stop. Guess i better take advantage while I can before I get huge.

 

[Linzi]

Nope I wish I did but completely the opposite.

xxx

I was like this with my son, we had so much sex during that pregnancy pretty sure thats what sent me into early labor too lol.
This one is completely different, I wanted it during the first tri and a bit in the 2nd and now its like eh, only get the urge once in awhile but we aren't allowed.

 

[goldlion]

Eeek no sex for me thanks! LOL

I haven't wanted sex for the majority of my pregnancy, I thought my libido was coming back last week but I guess it was just a teaser. Poor DH!

 

[clairebear]

mine has disappeared i think we have had sex about 8 times since being pregnant. DH wishes i wanted it more.lol
