Really? We're reading different threads or all your friends live in convents or something. I keep seeing tons of sexless marriage threads.

DCUM couples have so much more sex than everyone I know IRL.

To the people who mention twins, are you serious? Do you understand that pregnancy prevents ovulation? With that out of the way, man I LOVED pregnancy sex. It was so relaxed because I wasn't trying to get pregnant or prevent pregnancy, and I felt so voluptuous and I was taking really good care of myself and felt so healthy. After my daughter was born I didn't have sex for 8 weeks, it didn't stop fully hurting until about 10 weeks, and wasn't back to normal until a few months after I weaned. Sex did cause some bleeding early on (9 weeks) because the hormones made my cervix sensitive, but once I was cleared by a doctor we were back at it.

I was crazy horny when pregnant but was put on pelvic rest for most of it due to complications. By the time doc said it was ok I was already 36 weeks and so uncomfortable so we only did it a few times. Still have plenty of BJs though. Now just waiting for my 6 week check up.

When I was pregnant with my first, sex was just like normal, usually twice a week. Now breastfeeding...that destroyed my sex drive and made sex really hurt but we founds ways around it. Now that I'm pregnant with #2, I honestly have zero drive. It's a little disconcerting and I'm hoping it's not a permanent thing Regardless, communicate with your wife! My husband knows the situation right now, he knows I'm struggling, but I still make sex a priority because I know it's important for our relationship and although my drive is low, I still crave the bonding time.

I wish sex were always as good as when I was pregnant! I was crazy horny and orgasms were better than ever. Nursing was another story, but it got better (and lube helped).

Ok so she doesn't want sex, surely she is able to provide some other means of attention?

I lost all sex drive during pregnancy and while nursing. It's a temporary situation that is controlled a lot by hormones. For some that means high drive, for others it means none. You don't get to choose what your body does. Be kind to your wife and follow her lead on what she's up for. Her whole body is our of whack while she's growing a human being. I'm pretty sure you can take care of yourself for a bit.

I wish that was the case.

Yes, all the time! Hope it's not going to be like this post baby too.

1. Too sick during 1st trimester.
2. Good to go 2d trimester (sometimes hornier than ever).
3. Feeling too uncomfortable 3d trimester (maybe with some desperation attempts to induce pregnancy by sex at the end.)

With my wife, she really wasn't in the mood during most of pregnancy and then the first year after birth. Then we had a lot of sex while trying to conceive, then by the time #2 was a year old, we were really out of the habit, and our sex life has never really recovered.

The bullets are pretty spot on. I had sex regularly up to about 34 weeks. Then it was just really uncomfortable and everything moved down there so it was weird for DH. We did have sex to bring on labor and it totally worked. 4 cm 3 hours after sex. I am 6 weeks pp and really want to start again but we tried and it hurt and I'm dry as the Sahara. We will try in another day I think. We are both past the worst of the sleep deprivation and I feel like a human and very attracted to my DH again. So everyone is different.

A woman is never more sexy than when she is pregnant. I miss Everything about sex when DW was pregnant!!!

Sorry to you beautiful ladies who don't have husbands that are into it- you are both missing out.

Don't do it unless you want twins.
