Well ladies and gents this has been bugging me for some time so its time to post and (hopefully) get a whole lot of "Of course its normal!" type replies!
Since I've been pg I've noticed a distinct drop in my... erm, appetite for the BDing, for want of a better term!
I'm so tired and its getting uncomfy with my belly getting bigger... it just all gets a bit hard... my BBs are so sore by the end of the day... and I just want to go to sleep!
DH loved when we were TTC and it was me who was all over him at the drop of a hat, but now that we are pg, its just not happening like it used to.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there anything I can do to try and bring my enthusiasm back??
It's quite normal, however it didn't hit me until mid third tri. You need to have some early nights (or perhaps some arvos) while you still have some energy and you need to experiment with positions as the usual ones will get less and less comfy the further you get along til you get to the point where you may just not bother at all.
i have my moments where im like "PWEEEESE HONEY..." and other times where im like "uh, no thanks " but i think its because i am getting bigger and well i dont want to freak poor DF out with blip moving around...and him feeling it...in the middle of things...
Yeah, it definitely varies for me. In the first tri I thought I would never find my groove again, but thankfully things have been better since.
The watermelon stomach makes for some interesting positions, and the stretchies mean its almost always lights off these days...DH doesn't seem to mind though.
I find the hardest thing is getting in the mood...I never used to take so much persuasion.
I think its best to be open with your partner about it and explain how you're feeling. Then try and drag them to bed at YOUR bedtime (which is really early for poor DH). Its one of those things that I think is important to work on...but it takes some understanding from your partner...don't stress or over-think it. The worst dampner on a woman's drive is her brain! Go with how your body feels and don't be afraid to admit you're finding it tough at the moment.
lol
everynight here im just like 'umm no im too tired' i find any excuse i can to get out of it...
when we were TTC like you said it was the complete opposite!!!
Anyone else noticed a change in... "appetite"????
