Very rarely. Horribly sick first trimester, brief respite in second and DH got lucky then. Then I was put on pelvic rest due to previa. Once that was lifted I was uncomfortable and so not in the mood.

Maybe like once a month during my first two pregnancies.
For some reason, things were better during my third pregnancy and we probably averaged once or twice a week until I got horrible sciatica in the last month.
About once a week on average, down from 2-3x/week pre-pregnancy. I never got the second-tri hormone surge, so I'm mostly being accommodating. It's awkward.
Am I the only one who gets ridiculously in the mood and um, easy to please in the second tri? It happened both pregnancies, during which period it was very frequent and like, 5 very satisfying minutes. After that phase passed, I was good with regularly frequency right until the end last time. This time? It's just starting to get uncomfortable and not particularly enjoyable at 31.5 weeks

About once a week this last pregnancy, though that's a generous estimate. I think maybe more frequently during my first, since we weren't parenting a toddler too.
A lot? My drive was pretty high the first time. The second time, my memories of how unsatisfactory post-partum sex was made me want to get in as much quality sex as I could while pg.

Hardly at all. First trimester, I was sleeping all the time. Second trimester, we did it some, though once the baby started moving it felt super weird to me that we were having sex that close to her. Late 3rd trimester I put in some significant effort to making sex happen since semen helps ripen the cervix, but by then it hurt.
Fortunately, DH really wanted a baby, knew to not to expect much from "What to Expect", and was a super good sport about it.
A few times in first tri, all the time in second tri ( I was HORNY ) and pretty much never in third tri. And now it's out of obligation at 2-3 times a month. I'm tired and my vagina still hurts.

A normal for us amount during first trimester, so once or twice a week. Once my belly showed up, that dropped to twice a month. And I think we had sex like twice during the whole third tri.
