How's your sex drive?

[dreamgirl]

DD is a few months old and I have little interest in sex. Nothing about it appeals to me. I am too tired to care and my boobs leak and I feel like a fat blob - although I have been working out.

DH is pretty cool about it for the most part. Honestly, I give it to him every now and then so it doesn't become an issue, but honestly, right now, I could not care less about sex.

Boo!

My sex drive never came back to where it used to be before pregnancy. And my DD is 3.

[Willis Jackson]

It's nonexistent, but I'm phoning it in until it comes back.

Bleh.

[barefootcontessa]

Mine is good. I find sex begets sex, kind like sleep begets sleep for the babies. I enjoy the mental and physical release.

what sex drive? I haven't seen it in a loooooooong time.
Actually that's not true. I was crazy horny in SF and all alone and then by the time H and I were together again I'd lost it.

My sex drive has been through the roof since I was pregnant. I seriously want to screw like twice a day. I'm wearing DH out. I don't know what is wrong with me.

[darnkatz]

I had no sex drive right after my daughter was born. I think that is absolutely normal

It died a slow death when I went on hormonal birth control but came back after I went off of it for various reasons.

[cjeanette]

Mine comes and goes. There are weeks we could have sex daily and weeks at a time I could go without.

Mine's been non-existent since BFP. I'm still trying to keep it once a week for DH's sake but it's really hard to sound excited about it. And before BFP, my sex drive was pretty ok.

I hope I start to feel better 2nd tri or at least want sex again.

If I wasn't sick, it would probably be every night at least! But I can barely breathe now, so I can't really get him into it.

I'm horny a lot but not always up for sex with a partner. But I guess that's normal. Going off the pill made me want sex a lot more.

[matildasun]

I am at the end of my pregnancy, and my sex drive is ridiculous. I love sex during pregnancy. It is fabulous. We are trying to take advantage of my increased interest, because I know that after my daughter was born my sex drive was nonexistent for a good long while.

[oregonpachey]

What sex drive? I have none. I think part of that is the medication I am on and part is that I am BF'ing.

If I never had sex again I wouldn't be upset. That is how non-existant it is. In order to stay married (this is only partially a joke), I do give it up to DH when he wants it though.

Before pregnancy I was the one who wanted more sex in our relationship. At 15 weeks pregnant and with a lot going on, I'm just trying to get through the week with minimum puking. I hope the sex drive picks up at some point. Every time we do it (once a week or so) I'm like "we should do this more often!"

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who feels this way sometimes!

[pierogigirl]

I could never have sex again and be fine. DH is not thrilled. DS1 is almost 3 and DS2 is 5 mos. i EBF and I hope that's why.

[Deleted]

Almost non existent.

[satama]

DH called me a "sexual camel" the other day. He said one time can last me months until I want it again. Lol.

I was on pelvic rest my first tri, then bedrest my third tri. I had my post partum check up last Friday and got the go ahead but I have been too tired to feel like doing it yet.

this is me as well, sex takes too much time!

[Brie]

Mine is normal, but last time I had an orgasm I had my one and only BH contraction immediately after, so now I'm kind of paranoid and avoiding it.

[bunch]

Umm sex what?

[Deleted]

It's not where it used to be, but I think it's the BCP I am on. I get extremely moody, which is unlike my usual self. I want to get off hormonal BC but I don't like the alternatives. Bah.

[aspentosh]

Pretty much non-existant. Doesn't help that it hurts like hell

[karinothing]

What is a sex drive? Mine actually skyrocketed during pregnancy, but has taken a dive since the baby was born. My midwive pretty much told me not to expect it back until I was done nursing. Poor DH
