Well I would sure love to have sex, unfortunately my body isn't in synch with my mind.  My mind thinks dirty, my body just doesnt react AT ALL.  Plus There's nothing sexy about trying to get into a comfortable position with this big ol belly AND the extra weight has definitely limited my flexibility so sex is almost out of the question, besides the fact that once I am comfortable I can't really get "into it".

I don't know where that myth comes from that when you are pregnant you want to do it all the time.  Its just not as sexy and spontaneous as it used to be.

I definitely want to have sex a lot but the thought of how much work it is and how pathetic my performance is with this giant belly usually stops me from making a move lol. But yes, when I was more like 5 months, sex was always on my mind, 8 months, not so much. Plus, this little guy moves around so much it kinda spoils the mood lol I dont want to have sex when he is jumping around and clearly awake.

LOL. You are too funny. I'm so huge I can't figure out a good manuver. Ha! I was a sheet of paper and now I'm like the whole tree. My poor dh is like halfway across the room trying to make things work! Ha! More power to you girls I'm in so much pain I just want to have my baby and get my figure back then I will worry about sex all the time.

I still want sex even with the pain I am in at times. I don't know my sex drive increased after the first trimester and hasn't gone back down. It is good excercise though lol!

Ha you are too funny! You are so right I feel wicked unattractive. I just tell my husband he is full of bs when he says you are even more beautiful now. Ha are you kidding? I just laugh too cute and nice effort on his part but still I feel like a pig. I think for me the bd is a closeness thing. It's not something I need or even really want I just love being so close to my husband.

I agree, I RARELY get the urge to have sex, but I do anyway, because it's good exercise haha! I've also gained quite a bit so far, so I feel EXTREMELY unattractive, but the later you get in your pregnancy the LESS you want to have sex I guess, in most cases.

KInd of a random question! I can't speak for the other ladies on here but when you are 1 centimeter dilated and carrying around a 5 pound baby and your pelvis feels like it's broken 24 hrs a day and you have gained 70 lbs so far.......NO. I could care less. At this all of us on here are at the end of our pgs so we just want to have our babies.
