Libido

[Jennyeaton23]

Does anyone have an increased sexual desire? I mean It is at the point for me where I am having sexual dreams. Anyone know what's up with that?

[Majikat]

Very high sex drive since 2 weeks ago and the dreams omg... I have had 2 other pregnancies and I have never had dreams like I am now lol I have actually had three orgasmic dreams in the last week lol I have never experienced orgasm in dream before this lol

[Jennyeaton23]

That is so funny!!!!!!! I was telling my husband about a dream invovling Alton Brown. I was like gosh I want it so bad I am dreaming about the Good Eats guy. I guess brains really are sexy.

lol!! well i have found myself having these dreams the last couple of nights! its embarrasing cause DH doesnt mind the sex at all on the contrary hes wanting it more now than before... (he doesnt complain of being tired as much lol) so its embarrasing that even though im getting it im still dreaming about it! lol!! HORMONES!!! UGHHH

Well I asked my new OB today with my husband sitting there if sex was safe. She said absolutely. So when we got in the car, I asked him how excited he was that we'd finally have sex again. He said, "That should be a nice trick all by yourself."  He refuses to have sex out of fear of causing something to go wrong. I asked him if he really wanted to wait 9+months. He said if that kept from being the cause of losing our baby, then yes. He'd wait as long as he had to. Oh boo hoo hoo. Woe is me.

That is priceless because I honestly thought it was just me.  I'm seducing him these days but I don't hear him complaining at all

My Hubby was just so pleased to see my libido come back after all the IVF drugs took it away that I don't think he has stopped to give it too much thought.

our RE and now our OB are quite pro-sex during pregnancy anyway so he considers it to be doctors orders :S

I won't get in to to much detail, but it involves baby oil, and starts with a foot massage (innocent enough ;) ) and ends up working up the leg, hehehe. He forgot all about the baby in no time at all, lol.

Oh gosh, I thought it was just me! I've been having crazy dreams - I feel like a teenage boy with these crazy hormones :o
So what's the seductive way to change a guys mind, joal??

[joal]

Yep, I have the dreams too. It's crazy and I swear sometimes its all I think about. My man was against sex at first, too freaked out by the baby thing, but I figured out a very seductive way to change his mind, lol.

I found that my libido highly increases while I am pregnant but because of many complications in my first and last trimesters I can only enjoy the second except my husband like yours wont touch me because he also thinks it is a little freaky cuz of the baby in there. So much for pregnant women's husbands catering their every craving..lol.

[SunWorshiper_26]

Yes yes yes crazy high libido now that I am pregnant. I hear it's from all those fun pregnancy hormones plus increased blood flow down there. However some people have a decrease in desire. My OB says no sex till after first trimester bc I am considered high risk. No exercise either.

[trh0819]

I've actually dropped a little I think but it's because I just feel off... and really fat... and tired constantly. Wouldn't matter anyway though. My DH won't come near me. I'm surprised he even sleeps in the same bed. HA! At our last appointment, I asked about sex AGAIN and were told AGAIN that it was totally safe. He's still not having anything to do with it.  He will rub my belly, but I'm pretty sure that's the only action I'll be getting during this pregnancy.

My sex drive has remained the same. However, my husband and I were talking about sex during pregnancy the other night and even though he was in the room when the doctor said sex is perfectly fine during pregnancy, he told me he won't do it. He's too freaked out by there being a baby in there. Too bad for me. LOL.
