So I'm pregnant with my 3rd baby and have absolutely no sex drive. With my first 2 I was jumping my husband every chance I could.....So this sparked a debate between me and hubby......What's normal? How many of us pregnant gals still have a sex life?

1st.. often he thinks he's bieng nice by not asking if he thinks you feel sick or otherwise uncomfortable... but he won't say anything so as to not make you feel bad... 2nd.. i had 0 desire for over 5 months of my pregnacy.. it's ok.. we still did once in a while just cause... at that point lube can be handy.... 3... position.. i noticed a lot of people in doubt as to a comfortable position.. the doc's say no tummy pressure durring sex after 30 something weeks.. we find that with him standing and me scooted up to the edge of the bed there is no worry no matter how round i get hehe. no intent to offend anyone.. but if you avoid sex for comfort issues.. it may help.

We had sex constantly throughout both of my pregnancies. Couldn't stop thinking about it. We would have sex and I would be ready to go again before I even caught my breath! But I had a friend who didn't have sex through her whole pregnancy and not until about 4 months after she delivered! During the pregnancy, it was her BF feeling weird about it but she said she wasn't really interested anyways.

Well my sex drive has always been WAY up there but my husbands is not nor has it ever been. Its hard right now because he sees me as his daughters mother with her inside me and its alot for him to put that out his mind. I can understand but still want to be intimate which drives me crazy on the same coin. So Im lucky if its 2 a month

I want noting to do with sex! It actually discust me.. I love my husband very much but i get so irritated whenever he starts kissing my neck or getting to close to any of my intimate body parts. I've never been like that .. not with my other pregnancy. He tries to be understanding .. but i know its hard for him ...
I dont know what to do .. I feel so bad. Almost like unworthy .. were married i a cant even make love to my husband.
Worst part is that he finds me soooo attractive when im pregnant ..

My husband and I were doing great until about 34 weeks. Around that time I found that it was sooo uncomfortable and I was really sore. Before that though my sex drive was off the charts!! I dont think there is a 'normal' here... just whatever is comfortable for you.

Im due on Sat and have had sex all the way thro my pregnancy. Of course there are times im just not in the mood but i always just give in bc i know afterwards im happy i did it. Plus it makes me feel so much better that my bf can look past the stretch marks and body changes and still be attracted to me and love me the same.

my husband was upset at first because during the first few months i had lost it. now its off and on. sometimes i want it and sometimes i could care less. but there are times were is catches me and seduces me. although he thinks its funny we could have a quicky and he's worried that i'm not satisfied when for some odd reason i am completely satisfied to were you think i had the best sex ever and it was just a quicky. so its a day to day thing. this is my second pregnancy, with my first i wanted it all the time and my husband was turned off.

I'm 31 weeks pregnant and I think we've had sex 4 times since we found out, I completely lost all sex drive, hubby doesn't like it but is awsome and doesn't make me feel bad, lol.

At 34 weeks with our second baby and the frequency has lessened - probably 3-4 times a week now. Things are a little more uncomfortable now mostly concerning positions, but we make it work! With our first after we got to about 4 months along I barely let him touch me, I just completely lost interest. This time, I haven't lost interest at all.

I'm 16wks and we've only had sex twice. my husband and i live apart so it makes it hard be intimate, and when we are together, i'm either exhausted or all achy from my changing body. i don't really think there is such a thing as "normal" for pregnant women, so i wouldn't worry too much about it.

How far along are you? I found that once I hit about the 10th - 11th week I started to gain my sex drive back and about 12-14 weeks It's much higher than normal. Also if your having more morning sickness or bloating I found those were the days/times that totally killed my sex drive.

I'm not sure there is a "normal", I've heard a lot of women in the first trimester don't do it as much as they are feeling so crappy.

Lol, we still do it, and I'm working on ten months. Every night. Twice a night. Its crazy....But both of us still have our sexual attraction towards one another. I agree, working about the big belly is hard, and I can't breathe sometimes, but it's not too hard to where I just don't want to. I HAVE to. haha. Im dialated 3cm and effaced 50% so I'm hoping us doing it will put me into labor. But who knows. Sorry to hear all of you don't want to ): I wouldn't know what to do.

We barely do it....mainly because I work all day and I am exhausted by the time I get home and we are just so busy and stuff.....I have a desire at times but I just have been having so many problems that sex is the last thing on both our minds.

I can't get enough of it. It was like this with my first one as well. I'm 28 weeks and most people don't even know that I'm pregnant, so it isn't difficult for us......yet!

I feel the same way. When he starts talking about it I fall asleep. I'm 33 weeks and just not interested in finding a position that will work.

Ours has lessened a little, but we still do it about 3 or 4 times a week. Sometimes a couple weeks will go by where I just have no desire, but he still ends up seducing me anyway. LOL. I'll be 9 months in 2 weeks, so our biggest problem is just working around my belly.
