Sex life( this might be tmi for some)

I feel horrible I can't seemed to get aroused any more. I was super active sexually before pregnancy. Now I can't seemed to get aroused for sex but I seem to in dreams and even orgasm through them. I have sex dreams almost every night. I think its making me less available to my husband but I can't control my dreams. Anyone else ever had a problem with sex dreams? I know its weird.

I feel bad for my hubby because I am not at all interested in sex. 23 weeks atm and it has been nearly this whole pregnancy. I try to do "nice" things for him when I feel up to it. Luckily I have a very understanding hubby.

If anything you would think you mind is in tune with your body on a different level than other people. Sounds healthy to me :) it's just a downer on the sex life. I recently looked up the statistics and up to 38% of women orgasm in their sleep.

That would scare me if I orgasmed from a dream. I'm very spiritual and that just isn't right.

Yeah I have problems with that too. I can't seem to find a comfortable position when we actually do have sex. On top I feel like a whale and on bottom I feel like he is inspecting my flaws. Which I know he isn't but I'm so self conscious and uncomfortable I can't seem to get like I used too :(

I don't have the dreams but it seems like I'm more aroused when he isn't home and by the time he does come home I've either self pleasured or not on the mood anymore it's the most annoying thing I've ever gone through. At first I didn't want to have sex now I'm super horny but still don't have the energy for sex pregnancy hormones are so weird !

I can somewhat relate. My husband works long hrs m-f so I self pleasure at times. By the time we get intimate I can no longer get as aroused as I usually do. It's frustrating because I'm in the mood more now. I also have dreams that meet my needs. What I find helps is that we have extended play time. Sometimes I get one sometimes I don't but he's satisfied nonetheless and very pleased and that's what we have to consider as well. Good luck on your journey.

Hi darl, don't stress. My sex drive has fluctuated so much with all my pregnancies. I'm 23 weeks with our 4th and ATM I can't get enough lol! It can't be forced hopefully hubby can understand you're situation. Maybe try doing fun sexy things together. Massage, dress up, role play watch porn it all helps with the mood! Best of luck!
