Personal Question...
Okay... would you say your "love life" with DH has gotten better since you being pregnant or worse??
I feel so bad, but lately I just can't get into it as much. DH is sooo great and supportive, but we went from having a great sex life to hopefully we can get it once a week (maybe twice, but it's rare) 
I mean... I'm either too tired, bloated, or feel gross, and the best time I can do it is in the morning. LOL! I have more energy. If I eat too much then stay away... oh, and the bathroom issues aren't too attractive to him either.

Re: Personal Question...
I feel the exact same way!! I thought it was just me! DH and i had a great sex life before i got pregnant. I have my days where I feel like I want to maul him but sometimes I just can't stand the thought of it. He has been very good about the whole thing but i feel bad! The last pregnany 2 years ago we couldn't get enough of it, quite a difference!

Re: Personal Question...
We already have a child and have been married for many years so maybe that makes things a little different for us. Since he has become a father to my first DD, I can say that my love for him has only grown. The desire to BD though while I am getting bigger just isn't there right now. Maybe it's my hormones or I am just too tired from working FT and then taking care of DD when I get home from work so DH can go to work. If I am interested, I have to wait until like 11PM and I am wiped out by then!

Re: Personal Question...
That happened to me later in my last pregnancy, we just didnt do it as much lol. I was huge and uncomfortable, and I think he knew not to try 
So far everythings ok now, but Im still very early, Im sure it will change.

Re: Personal Question...
In the beginning it got better. Now I have very little interest & when we do try to do it, it's just too uncomfortable & not very sexy at all.

Re: Personal Question...
poor DH, in the beginning we couldn't because of all the spotting I had. And at this point it still really hasn't gotten much better.

Re: Personal Question...
with all honesty - i think in total - we've done it 6 times since i got pregnant (if it's THAT much).
I did promise him though, that since that pain that i've been having was much better last night...if it's the same way tonight, that we can give it a go....

In the beginning it got better. Now I have very little interest & when we do try to do it, it's just too uncomfortable & not very sexy at all.
I think my lack of interest really makes it very unromantic and not sexy. In the first trimester, we still had a decent love life between my bouts to puke in the bathroom. As my belly got bigger, it became physically uncomfortable. Now DH feels like there is a third wheel and we are both not in the BD mood.
Hopefully things will return to normal after the baby is born!

Re: Personal Question...
Yes, I was just thinking about this on my way into work this morning...you read my mind!
I am only 8 weeks but I feel like I've been so tired lately or just feeling too bloated for anything so we definitely have not been our usual selves when it come to "BD'ing". DH understands, but I would like to step it up a little, when we can!

Re: Personal Question...
My DH is one of those 'it freaks me out. I'm afraid I'm going to hurt the baby' types .........
So while sometimes I want to beat him I guess I'll just wait it out.
At least I don't have to feel guilty -

Re: Personal Question...
Ours has gotten worse and it brings me to tears sometimes. It the beginning we were both against it because of our MC the first time we didnt want to push it. Then second trimester he was willing but i just felt like crap and not up for it and now third trimester im willing to try but he says "no hun, you cant" im like yes i can but he still wont i think now he fears hurting me and baby. So i can only pray it comes back after the baby even though i think we are supposed to wait right? i dont know.

Re: Personal Question...
Well, we didn't BD much our first trimester for fear of hurting the babies but if my doctor says it's ok this Thursday, then it's back to BD'ing in the 2nd trimester for us... especially since I'm starting to feel less sick and tired.

Re: Personal Question...
It has def. decreased for us. We went through IVF so in the beginning we had to wait, then M/S set in so it was not really happening. Now at 30.5 weeks we do it once a month. Even though I always say I want to do it, he sees through me b/c I am always complaining b/c I am going through some back and hip pain from my endometriosis (according to my doctor I have built up soft connective tissue).

Re: Personal Question...
oh gosh, I can't get enough of my DH, and it has been like this the whole pregnancy! (how do you think I got pregnant in the first place?)
He's been so great and supportive, our relationship has become even more stronger.
As much as I want to jump him, I just can't these days, it's just too physically awkward.. I can't wait till this kid is out of me, so DH and I can resume our marital ways

I could have written this post. In fact I almost wrote a post about this last week. I am in the exact same situation and thankfully DH is really understanding. Quite frankly I could go without it completely!
