Hey all, just asking a question...

So I know the first trimester is a bit of a rough patch for most pregnant women...but when does the sex come? We just found out my wife is pregnant and she'll be 7 weeks this coming week. She's been having a lot of morning/evening sickness and it's like I know they say it all balances out in the 2nd trimester...but seriously..when does the fun begin?

Any advice or comments from the experienced bunch?

some women lose any interest in sex when pregnant, some the complete opposite. it's all on a individual basis, so don't assume that all expecting women are all horny because of changes in hormones... life is not a porn movie.

I completely agree with you. I was just wondering if things go back to a normal sex life at some point and if it does is what’s the average time frame for things to begin being normal. I think my wife wants to start feeling more normal at this point...she’s tired of the morning sickness lol

Congrats

thanks

It’s a crap shoot at best, my wife was always on fire pregnant and cold when she wasn’t.

 Congrats dude ! Wife was also like this on early weeks (now 30+). Things get way better around 10-12, just be patient.15-30 is godmode. Like some folks said, if you get lucky you ll get the horny preggo type. If not, oh well, you can still enjoy lots !

it depends, really. a woman's body goes through a lot during pregnancy, and some women bounce back (sexually) very quickly, some don't. some women's mothering instincts negate all else, and sex won't enter the picture for a while. and don't forget that individual pregnancies can have different outcomes for on woman.

basically, it's a crapshoot. just cross that road when it comes, and don't be disappointed if there's no sexy time for a while.

oh yeah, congrats! you're in for a long ride. just don't stress about when the sex comes back. her emotions, and the baby's health come first.

On the plus side, if her sex drive doesn't come back during the pregnancy, you can also do photo and video shoots. Just imagine all the cool and sexy outfits your wife could model for ya. It's a win-win in my book.

It depends.

My wife is socially and sexually conservative. The sexiest thing she owned for years was a plunging neckline Hello Kitty t-shirt she wore to bed. She frequently picks her appearance apart. She got this from her mother who picks herself apart. When they get together, they're insufferable. It's really hurt my wife's confidence. I yelled at my MIL a few months ago because I'm sick of it and I don't need my pregnant wife to pick herself apart even further.

That said, my wife's morning sickness knocked her out until about week 17 in her first pregnancy. She sorta came back around 20 weeks. She did not appreciate the changes to her body. Any sexuality disappeared after 35 weeks.

She's 21 weeks pregnant with our second. She was ill until about 19 weeks. Compound that with a tough work schedule and she was just unavailable. I complained and I was harshly rejected. I asked her just to be near me when I needed to do my business. She was ok with that.

I have been forward about loving her shape. I want to reassure her that I think she looks amazing. I'm trying to convince her that she is hot. I've noticed that she has appreciated her looks more often. Now that she's on vacation and feeling better, she's been a freak this week. She actually sexted me today. That was a first.

Be patient, take her stresses away as best as you can, and stroke her ego.
