I just tell Willie that he more than got his quota in the 13 months it took all up to conceive the gremlins, that should keep him happy for a while!

Josh is one miracle baby, mine is more of the wrong time to the month to even conceive.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

I am struggling with this a little bit at the mo with being tired and having a touch of m/s. I do 'put out' on a regular basis tho. I kind of think, DH comes home from a suck day at work and cooks dinner...I can be a starfish (hehehe not really). We try and talk about it so neither of us gets tichy about the subject. Its important for both sides to comprimise/sacrifice to keep the relationship healthy I think. He is helping me while I am feeling like crap so its the least I can do for him.
I find it helps setting the alarm 15mins earlier and doing it in the morning
The more you do it the more you want to.....apparantly! Works for me 
Those not pg or breast feeding...have you tried a couple of glasses of wine to help with the self conciousness?

Ahhhh go the wine!
JD I don't even get m/s but still find things a bit queasy in the first trimester - a bit like motion sickness. I found it got heaps better in the 2nd trimester, hopefully it's the same for you.

Hehe..motion sickness...
"Don't rock the boat!!!" Sorry that just occurred to me.
From this thread I can tell:
1) some of you women dont understand your guys and
2) some your guys dont understand you either...
3) some of you women dont know yourselves
1) You can't make a guy 'treat you right'. It just doesn't happen from guys. 'Treating you right' has got to come from them, and they'll only learn that stuff if they want to. Usually that kinda info has to come from a guy for them to hear it, otherwise it's a 'conspiracy of the womenfolk' kinda thing.
2) Often the guy can help the woman feel appreciated by helping them out at home, or taking the kids, or SOMETHING to help their DP/DW. But....bad news....see 1)
3) how the hell can you feel pity for me then get in the mood?? (Sorry, that was from a conversation DW and I just had.)

This is why chovy (AKA my DH) has his own login. I don't claim responsibility for his actions!

I blame the lack of interest on sleep depravation and being more tired in general. I too find it a bit of an uphill battle to get in the mood but it gets easier once things start getting heated up. Maybe start with something you enjoy eg ask DH to look after bub so you can take a bath and then ask for a nice relaxing back rub?

I've got no self conciousness, in fact I know I look better than I have done in years, so no worries there, its just that I am so blinking tired, and just not into it...

I have a partner who is not the father of my child and doesn't quite understand how much tiredness affects you! He's still up for the every night business!!! ARGH!!!
Anyway, mostly I comply. Sometimes I am too exhausted or distracted but then he feels crap because I don't want to do things so I end up spending just as much energy talking to him to try and make him feel better so I may as well just will myself to enjoy it! (Which I do when I try) So yeah... we'll see how long this lasts!
P.S. He is sick at the moment and grumpy/tired etc yet still would do anything to get some - is this not wrong!?!?

Sex Drive! What's that it's been so long since I had one I have forgotten.
This is a bone of contention with Hubby and has been since No2. As I tell him I have three screaming, fighting, argumentative very tiring reasons as to why we never do it very often .
I swear if we could hire out our bundles of work (god bless them) to teenagers as contraceptives teen pregnancies would plummet.
At least now I can tell him there are plenty of other men who suffer the same fate as him.
Hubby had a really bad dose of the flu a few weeks ago and upon being turned down due to his flu and me not wanting to catch it his response was "It's ok I promise i won't breathe on you"! Talk about desperate

My sex drive has driven off and has pretty much been gone since oh gosh 7 months ago!!! Hubbie keeps hasseling me and I just tell him I'm not interested, he jokes about the amount of cobwebs there is down there! How rude!

Its wierd...I still really enjoy it, but it seems to take me a bit longer to 'warm up to the idea' of it now. Generally its not a problem in our house (which my DH constantly thanks me for and is very appreciative - its so sweet that he knows how lucky he is!!) but will see what happens after the baby arrives?!?!

My problem is that I"m worried that all the stitched bits down under might POP open! Which is so silly I know. I"m now kind of wishing the MW checked me out before she discharged me.
I can't even stand kissing. So sad. Partly because when I do happen to really kiss DH he tries to jump me  . Just can't be bothered dealing with that! Sigh, guess I'll never have another baby. I wonder if my DH was Brad Pitt, would I have the same lack of mojo??? hehehe

Well I totally understand this as when I had Paige I thought I would never have sex again....However the "drive" did return and was one night after a couple of glasses of bubbly!! If there is anything thats going to bring it back a few glasses will so do the trick i reckon!
This time in our household..Ive been a keen participant for a wee while now....but Poor Old Mark is gone at 4:30 in the morn, gets home at 6 then works every Saturdays..so he just has no energy at all!
Oh well....its not a biggie!
