Anyways, I know this isnt really relevant to anything on here, but I just have to get this out! When I first became pregnant I had a low sex-drive, I didnt really even want to consider doing the deed...But now its been like 2 months or so since the last time, and for the past week I have felt like a nymphomaniac!!! All I want is to do "it" lol!!! Its the strangest urge that I cant get rid of, I cant even sleep well at night!!! Its almost all I think about for some reason! Its so weird I went from nothing to everything in like one day!!! I guess part of it is coming from the fact, well the baby had to be made somehow lol! (monogamous relationship btw)...But even with him my drive wasnt very high....However its like its hitting me alllllllllll at once. I have offers lol :) But I wont act upon them because I dont need that added stress in my life right now...lol I dont even want a real relationship right now, I dont really want any kind of relationship with a guy other than just friends! But OMG! I cant fix this problem....

Thanks to you guys that read through that without going "EW!" And thanks for reading my off-topic post...

Women's Sexuality and their Changing Libidio in Pregnancy - E01

Sex Drive in Overdrive

Many pregnant women report that they actually experience a dramatic increase in their sex drive during pregnancy. This is typically due to the change in hormones that your body goes through when you are pregnant.

In order to support your pregnancy, your body increases the amount of progesterone and estrogen in your bloodstream. As a result, you may feel the need to be with your partner more than usual. This increase in hormones has a number of physical effects on your body, which can often make sexual intercourse much more enjoyable than usual. These changes include:

  • increased vaginal lubrication
  • increased sensitivity of the breasts and nipples
  • increased blood flow to the pelvic area

Some women also report that they feel sexier during pregnancy. Those added curves around your hips, breasts, and stomach can contribute to an increase in your sex drive.

I had that also during all of my pregnancys over the years. And my ex was one of the types who are scared to have sex during a pregnancy. Despite the Doc assuring him it was ok.

Even now when my youngest is 12 the week of my period is when I get this now. lol. Had my tubes tied when he was born as he was 3# and had problems due to my weight and undiagnosed sleep apnea.

Thank god my other half now isn't afraid of a little blood or I would be totally miserable. But still because my skin is soooooooooo sensitive now and breaks down so easy despite taking precautions. If we do much in a short period of time I end up recovering for 2 weeks or more. =/.

I'm praying that will change as I lose more weight.

I just think its the weirdest thing that my drive suddenly became so high!! It was SOOO weird! Im hoping it will ease off soon, atleast for a while, because I frankly cant get anything done for thinking about it, HOWEVER Im not sleeping as much as I was! lol so Im getting a lot more done, its like an energy boost, but I cant get rid of it once Im done using the energy part...Its kind of funny though, how when I had someone I wasnt that interested in the deed, or atleast not with him, and now that Im pregnant and single (and probably for a long time, I dont like to hop from one relationship to another) I want it all the time! UGH! I should just give in and render in to a special kind of relationship with this guy that Ive known FOREVER! We had something goin on when I met my ex, but we didnt live in the same town anymore, so there was no use in persuing anything further, now that Im back in my hometown lol!! IDK? Its the weirdest feeling ever, Ive never felt such sexual frustration before! I do laugh at it though, just the irony in it all!

I'm not sure jumping into a friends with benefits type situation is the best idea for you right now, but there's nothing that says you have to have a partner to fulfill your urges, if you know what I mean.

Oh Ive tried all the good ones out there, but the fact that I have to do it myself doesnt work because no matter what fantasy I imagine, it just goes straight back to the fact that Im a woman touching myself in that way, and im a little homophobic in a real way (not a denial way) lol! Im serious I freak out if another woman comes within so many inches of me, it really grosses me out for some reason

Oh goodness, I dont argue back, I'm tidy, I'm clean, I dont piss on the toilet seat, I dont take up all the bed, fart, snore or rub for hours at the wrong spot whilst the whole time seeking reassurance of how good I am - I'd marry myself if I could, lol!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
