TMI warning! Sex life rant
By Brandavir » Posted Oct. 23, 2015 8:00am - 381 views - 7 comments

I MISS SEX! OMG I cannot even begin!
Even before we were trying to conceive, hubby and I were a lucky "anytime, anywhere" couple, usually intimate 3+ times a week. Since getting pregnant with our second, however, I can literally count on my fingers the times we have had sex in the last 8 months!!! How sad is that!!!

First there was bad morning sickness, and almost right away after that my SPD kicked in, which makes it uncomfortable to spread my legs, including walking!! I have been blessed with 2 yeast infections this pregnancy, and my old hemorrhoids flared up. On top of that, I have been just so exhausted this entire pregnancy, and my poor hubby has been stressed at work, and also tired when he comes home. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that I'm a cow, and even when we did find time / mood, cannot find a comfortable, let alone "pleasurable" position?!?

Now I am on pelvic rest until 37 weeks, which, even though is right around the corner, is another nail in my sex life's coffin. By the time I have this beautiful little girl, and get healed (with my first took 12 weeks!) it will have been over a year since we had decent hour with each other.

I am SO ready to simply WANT his hands on me! I pray for a speedy postpartum recovery for us all!!!

Thank you for letting me rant, I know I am not alone, but UHG!!!

	Comment from Summer0120 » Posted Oct. 23, 2015 12:57pm We have been having less and less sex as well. I can honestly say it's still more than most people who aren't even pregnant, but I am not comfortable anymore. I'm not enjoying it. I can't wait to not be pregnant and get to be more intimate and fun again.
	Comment from Amanda_McDaniel » Posted Oct. 23, 2015 11:32am I feel ya, girl! My husband and I are a very 'active' couple and we have had to cut back to, like, three times a month thanks to schedules and those charming pregnancy challenges. My poor husband is struggling but he's been working hard to be understanding.
	Comment from Kate0406 » Posted Oct. 23, 2015 11:08am Lol I wrote a journal entry like this. Hmm it has been over aa month since my husband and I've done anything. Some women have great sex lives while they are pregnant.. It seems like it has never happened for me. Good thing pregnancy is only 9months long!
	Comment from pbc910 » Posted Oct. 23, 2015 9:23am I honestly cannot even remember the last time I was intimate. Pelvic pain, low mobility, and just feeling like a beached whale isn't very mood inducing. I feel terrible that it's been so long but the last time just was not enjoyable.
	Comment from Brandavir » Posted Oct. 23, 2015 8:43am Thank you both! Cattsmeow, my condolences! Hopefully you will have a super fast recovery this time too! I have a little bottle of arnica tablets in my hospital bag to hopefully help speed recovery. I hope it works!
	Comment from Kitten90 » Posted Oct. 23, 2015 8:22am Me too!! My fiance and I used to have sex everyday
	Comment from Cattsmeow » Posted Oct. 23, 2015 8:06am I am on pelvic rest until 37 weeks as well. Which sucks because my drive is up and I so want to take advantage of it and can't. But I understand completely! And from my experience, it took almost a year after my first for sex to not be painful (I had internal tearing that took 10 months to completely heal), but with my second, I was completely healed by 5 weeks pp. So I hope your recovery is faster this time around!
