S-E-X

So DH told me last night that he wants to hold off until my due date - he doesn't want to bring on early labor.

I still have 5 weeks to go!!

Is that unrealistic? Is he being overly cautious? I mean I know there are "other" things to do but this just disappointed me..... Epecially knowing we will have to wait after the baby, and then may be so exhausted all the time --I feel like we should take advantage of these last few weeks of coupleness.

Am I crazy?

Re: S-E-X

I am proud of you that you have the drive with only 5 weeks to go. I can relate... I forgot what sex is. After I was diagnosed with placenta previa at the ultrascreen I havent done it for almost 2 months. Sad You will get through it though!

5 Weeks

I had to BEG for it...DH cut me off Jan 3 b/c I was spotting--PS I was only 22 weeks. He was afraid of ANYTHING happening.


I tell him now (I am 38 wks today), it's OKAY to "do it", it'll help!!!

You're not crazy, but I can see why he's being cautious.

Re: S-E-X

You go girl!!! DH really has a tough time of anything going on - he has to first get through the snoogle and molly - both of which are between us!

But yes, if you are up for it - then he needs to understand you can still go for it and he shouldn't worry!! Besides it will be a long time after the baby is born so you may as well get it all in now.

Re: S-E-X

Let me tell you - we had sex in my 3rd trimester and I was still no where near labor in any way shape and form.... My sex drive was zilch towards the end too - and now 3 wks post partum, it is up and running again BIG time - and we really cant do anything until 6 wks post partum, so I am going crazy!

Even with little sleep and being busy, my mojo is definitely in gear - so dont you worry!!

Re: S-E-X

u can come over and hang out with my hubbie
I am having the opposite problem--I am due next week and he wants sex all the time....uh, i dont want to!!!

Re: S-E-X

Um, forgive me if I hate you a little bit, considering I have been on pelvic restriction since OCTOBER

And I think it is adorable that your DH is being cautious, although probably not necessary.

Good thing is maybe if you stop now you can do the deed later to bring on labour

Re: S-E-X

LOL -- yeah I guess we've been pretty lucky so far.

He'll just have to make me happy until I am almost due. Then we can put that idea to the test and see if it brings on labor!

Re: S-E-X

he is only cutting you off now. Lucky girl you. Dh doesnt even want to do anything with me for fear of hurting his little baby. My sex life has been NON EXISTENT.

Re: S-E-X

my DH was afraid to have sex throughout my entire pregnancy

Re: S-E-X

Re: S-E-X

You're certainly not crazy--I wish I could take advantage as well, but I just can't bring myself to do it--luckily DH doesn't seem to care. I shut down the operation at 34 weeks which is a week past where I made it last time

Re: S-E-X

ok - i've had the opposite! I can't even hug DH hello w/o him being all over me and i feel terrible because we've only dtd 1x since BFP sorry for tmi but i've been conking out so early at nite and only lately have felt a little more energetic, he works a couple of nites per week etc... but i just can't get in the mood??? whats wrong with me? we had a healthy time before . i just get so uptight - i wish i could have a glass of wine!

Re: S-E-X

I don't think you're crazy! Your DH is cute! I'm sure he can get creative and do those "other things" while he's trying to hold out.

Re: S-E-X

I think he is being overly cautious. As long as you aren't at risk for preterm labor, you can have sex up til you have the baby. Trust me, you want to get as much in as possible before baby comes. You won't be able to do it for 4-6 weeks if you have a vaginal delivery, and even after that you may be way too exhausted to want to!

Re: S-E-X

I will beg DH for s e x in the last few weeks. He is well aware and CAN'T WAIT

Re: S-E-X

Sex...whats that? The last time the bed was rockin in my house was 7 months ago . I used to beg and plead with Dh to just give me some...but I was on pelvic rest from 12 weeks to 31 weeks. After I found out my placenta moved and the "NO SEX" ban was lifted he was so freaked out and petrified something would go wrong. The day the baby was born I started my countdown..5 weeks to go.
Anyone want to babysit that night

How far along are you? We didn't during the first trimester, too nervous. But my libido picked up after that!!

Re: S-E-X

Print out something from the internet that says sex is okay during this time. Then leave it where he will see it. I'm a sex-a-holic, so I hope it's clear sailing for us.

Bklyngirl, if you're physically able to do it, maybe give it to your DH once just to make him happy. Just because you might not want to doesn't mean he doesn't want to.
