Sex during pregnancy

Hi ladies, I have a quick question. I've seen where a lot of women say they're sex drive is pretty much nonexistent, and they want nothing to do with sex during pregnancy, well I'm the complete opposite. My sex drive has always been high and hubby and I have a great sex life but now that I'm pregnant I want It all the time, more so than before which is saying a lot. I was this way with my last pregnancy too. I get turned on just thinking about It, and we have sex almost every night, sometimes twice a night. So my question is, is this normal and just my hormones? And what is everyone else's experience with this? My hubby is thoroughly enjoying this lol, but sometimes I feel like I'm wearing him out haha. Everyone's input is welcomed:)

Lol guys my hubby says I'm a lot to handle but he's definitely loving It. I sometimes even wake up up with morning sex before he leaves for work haha! I thought I was getting out of control but it's nice to know It isn't just me;) and that is for sure not true about having a higher sex drive with girls/ lower with boys because I'm having a boy:) just another old wives tale. And crystalnordin you are so right about enjoying it now, because when baby geT's here we won't have as much "alone time" thanks ladies!

Lol, me and my boyfriend before being pregnant had a pretty good sex life, and since being pregnant thats literallly all I want. Its crazy, cos I hears the same thing about most women havinh a nonexsistant sex drive. But nope, my hubby loves it. Deff wear him out lol. But I think itll go down once my belly gets bigger, I feel like thatd be kinda awkward.

honestly, I had a high drive but since I found out i was pregnant it just kind of vanished but my GF who tells me way more then I need to know, said hers was higher when she got pregnant.

So what I have noticed is that most of the people that have a reduction of drive are all having boys.  If its been higher they seem to be having girls.   I think it is one of the old wives tales signs.

Lol don't feel awkward, I'm in the same hormone boat! Although my first pregnancy I was anti-sex completely.  Now all I want to do is... Well, it!  It stinks though because when we get some alone time one or both of us is completely exhausted from the day.  But when we're ready and raring to go, my two year old just won't sleep lol!
