How much sex did you have during pregnancy?

[Brie]

I am trying to determine if I'm being reasonably accommodating here.

[thatgirl2478]

Lol...maybe twice? Poor dh....

[rbp]

Not much.

[ilikedonuts]

Once the first time and never the 2nd time

[docholly]

A fairly normal amount..., 2 times per week with YDS... 3 times per week with ODS.

[mlvmd]

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.

[Teachermama]

Like 5 the whole time

A lot.

But I enjoyed it. More than I do now.

[redheadbaker]

First pregnancy:
Maybe once or twice during my first tri.
A LOT during my second tri.
Maybe once or twice during third tri.

Second pregnancy:
Once, then I was on pelvic rest, until we lost him.

[lostlenore]

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.

[atarianna]

I would say maybe 10 times total. Probably more like 5-6.

This wasn't because of me. He "couldn't do it"

[iheartbanjos]

Almost every day 2nd and 3rd Tri. Maybe 2x week first Tri, mostly out of obligation.

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.

[justjen]

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

[waterchurch]

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.

[Brie]

Okay, so what I'm getting here is once a week is pretty decent and he shouldn't be complaining.

[jewel]

LOL. Feel sorry for my husband.

[andthentherewere10]

Once

[anna7602]

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.

[AlpineSlide]

3 times. no bjs.

This too.

[ewall]

Once a week. Maybe twice if I have the energy.

[sillygoosegirl]

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.

[starlily]

DD1 - barely any. My sex drive was nonexistent and it was so uncomfortable whenever we did do it that I hated it.

DD2 - none. I actually wanted to, but was restricted from intercourse my whole pregnancy.

My poor H, lol.

[bowies]

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.

[rex]

LOL. twice. i did not enjoy it during pregnancy.

[wanderlustmom]

I enjoyed sex a whole lot more during pregnancy both times. So when I'm not pregnant--1/2 times a week is fine, pregnant--usually 2/3 times a week

[Deleted]

I was on pelvic rest from 6-20 weeks but after that maybe once a week.

This time around I want it whenever I'm not tired so 2-3 times a week. Still in first tri though.

[gibbinator]

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.

[zeewifeandmama]

Not often either time
