all my husband wants to do.........

[michelleschwartz]

Now all my husband wants to do is have sex. I'm 7 weeks and so tired all the time, he just can't take no for an answer! What do i do? I love him but he really persists that we have sex all the time is this normal for a man to go sex crazy while you are pregnant???????????HELP

YES! I don't know what it is, but my friend and I had the same experience. I guess there must be something about seeing a woman pregnant with your child that shifts these guys into overdrive. :) I don't know what you can do to calm him down...maybe drop some ice down his pants? prepare him a cold shower? Honestly, I think I'd sit him down (when he's not ready to jump in your pants) and try to explain how you feel. Work out a compromise--he'll do some chores so you're not so tired...he'll attack you earlier in the day when you're less exhausted...you can please him in other/quicker ways. I don't know. Good luck to you, though!

Thanks!!!!!! The early morning suggestion is great I'll have to try that!!!!! Any one else have any suggestions?????

[charlygould93]

i realy do not have any suggestions, but i know how you feel my husband is the same way. he told me that pregnant sex is the best sex, he said it feels different. i usally just go along with it, but if i realy dont want to do it then i give him a magazine. lol

My husband was, and still is, a maniac for it. When my morning sickness hit me, that is when he wanted it the most. And I simply couldn't do it. He kept persisting one night during my first trimester, and I knew that if I did, I was going to get sick from the motion, but he wasn't letting it go..So, I went along with it, and I did get sick, right in the middle of things. He felt awful, after that night, he knows that when I say I can't, I really can't.

If morning doesn't always work, try middle of the night. My husband knows that after my two boys are in bed, I need my sleep, and NOW! He has a better chance if he lets me sleep a couple of hours (while he watches TV or plays his computer game) and then starts cuddling up to me. He works seconds, though, so 4 days a week I've already been asleep a few hours before he gets home. He also knows that waking me up with a nice backrub can do wonders for my mood!

i have the oppisite problem. My husband finds it a turn off, and I am hot blooded to begin with, and even more so now, and with all this extra emotional stuff it really hurts to get rejected every time, mine is so distant, he just wants to spend time with his friends.

[michelleschwartz]

Well ladies he is still at it. Every day he tries some thing different to get me in the sack! It's not that i don't love him, but i don't feel like we need to have sex any more, does any one understand that or am i just crazy? I really need some one's opinion on where to go from here!!

[michelleschwartz]

Thankfully he got over that stage and is now in the "let me get that" or " let me do that honey"!! Its nice to have him back to the old chad!!

[BabyChloe29]

that's good, my husband says it's different as well, he says it feels better for him and he wants to do it more, so i'm on the opposite side of the fence than you are!! but i know the feeling of being tired all the time, i'm 24 weeks on sunday, just wait until you get this far, it's better but your body is more tired than anything, have you had morning sickness at all?

[CoreyAllers]

hmm I don't really want to have sex with my GF anymore then I did before, she usually wants to have sex more then I do to be honest!! As noted above, I would bargain with him. Hey if you do some of the extra work that I'm doing, then I'll have more energy for you. (which is just wack because I do EVERYTHING, dishes, laundry, clean, grocerys) but hey I guess every guy is different

[BabyChloe29]

awe corey you seem so cute, my husband is very excited as well for his first baby girl!! she's already spoiled as heck. does it freak you out to have sex now?

[steamycakes2004]

I feel your pain! My best advice to give you is give it up to him!!!! LOL cause you know once your belly starts growing even bigger it will get harder and more uncomfortable.. The only problem I have is that all the fragrances that he wears that used to drive me crazy now make me throw up! It's hard to get close to him when I feel like puking from his Polo! On a more serious note, I'm sure your husband will understand if you just tell him how tired you are. Maybe let him read up a little on how tired we become when their children are growing inside us! Sometimes hearing it from someone other then us "nagging wives" open their eyes... Good luck girl!!

[michelleschwartz]

Well he still wants to make love to me all the time but I've given in to alot of the stuff he wants to do!!! And yes i did have severe morning sickness so bad i have already made 2 trips to the doctors to get rehydrated with i.v fluids!!!! Thats not very fun, then i got the stomach flu and that was worse then every thing you could imagine!!!!

oh man i'm so sorry, that sucks how far along are you? It gets harder and harder to have sex it seems like because you cramp up too, but if your not feeling well he shouldn't pressure you into it. especially when your pregnant and miserable. a friend of mine is on zofran and it got rid of her morning sickness maybe you should try that.

[redheadmom]

My boyfriend understands, and therefore doesn't hound me for sex. You could try making a joke like, "That's how you got yourself into this mess in the first place!" and laugh. If you are really tired and uncomfortable, try sitting him down and talking it over seriously, having some articles from various websites in hand about the sex drive of pregnant women. Ensure him you'll be ready to go during the end of the first timester (around 13 weeks) so he has SOMETHING to look forward to.
