How often are you having sex?

[Anonymous]

I’m 20 weeks and we’ve had sex like 3-4 times total I have just been sick, tired and just uncomfortable. Is this abnormally low?

I wasn't allowed to have sex after 12 weeks due to a short cervix and risk of pre-term labor. So 3-4 times was way more than us! It was such a bummer.

That being said, there were plenty of other things we could do when I wasn't nauseous/feeling like crap and I tried to make that happen when I was up for it. Don't worry about quantity but if you find that the hormones shift and you're in the mood--go for it! You may find this happens later on. And if not, it's a temporary situation! You'll both make it through!

I'm 8 weeks and I feel nauseous and exhausted so not at all yet.

I’m 15 weeks and we just had sex for the first time since we conceived on Christmas Day. I’ve had 3 prior losses so I was super nervous plus I’m still on progesterone suppositories which just makes me feel gross. Finally gave in on Christmas Day and it was fine but my poor husband will probably be waiting another few weeks.

8 weeks PP. The suppositories definitely don't help! I feel like a snail. We've had two losses and I was spotting two weeks ago so that makes me really nervous about having sex. Even if I didn't feel like I was going to puke for most of the day.

It’s been 2 months. We love each other, we cuddle, we kiss, we’re stressed, we’re tired, we’re old.

Normal (for me) for frequency to drop 1st trimester (nausea) then again 3rd (giant belly)

I think we had sex like 3-4 times total both pregnancies. I was sick, and frankly my husband was not into it—on some level, weirded out by the pregnancy even though he knew the baby couldn’t be “poked” or whatever. That’s probably below average and maybe abnormally so, but things bounced back postpartum and we have a good relationship.

Average 2x a week (sometimes we do just oral) after 10 weeks. Was afraid of having an orgasm before 10 weeks even though I was cleared. Nausea sucks but has been tapering off around 13 weeks. Sometimes sex helps me sleep and strangely oral makes me gag less than brushing my teeth. I’m 16w now so who knows how things will continue.

I have two kids and I got pregnant easily both times. My DH refused to have sex with me during my pregnancies. I was very horny in my 2nd trimester but DH did not want to jeopardize the pregnancies in any way. Then when kids were born, I did not want to have sex for a long time because my libido just vanished. So for at least 2 years for each kid we did not have sex.

Would you believe it if I said that I actually have a great sex life and even in our 50s we have sex at least thrice a week? It is just that 4 years of my married life, there was no sex. My DH was very supportive for every thing and very loving, but did not want sex or care to be sexual with me.

Three pregnancies and we always had sex multiple times a week before, during and after pregnancy. Sex was and still is very important to me. We make it a priority.

This wouldn't fly with me.

Currently 28 weeks and we’ve been pretty consistent at 3-4 times a week. What can I say, we love sex, lol.

Sometimes I do feel fat and gross and don’t want to, but H always makes me feel beautiful and it puts me right back in the mood.

Normal, I think. I had partial placenta previa with my 1st and was put on pelvic rest. By the time it resolved, I was so big that we tried but it wasn't fun or comfortable. With my 2nd, I was so tired from pregnancy, running after a toddler, and working full time that we did it only 3 times the whole pregnancy.

Do you not have other children? How do you have the time?
