Just to let you know, during my last full term pregnancy, my husband and I enjoyed very

#####

sex. It was perhaps the best we had ever experienced. However, like you, we have abstained from sex since about a month before the ivf procedure and until last week, we had continued it. I do not go crazy and have it everyday, but about once a week I allow ourselves to have a romantic night. Now that may seem mild to all of you, but with a 10 year old and a 6 year old running around, we tend to have to make appointments

for our little escapades. My RE told us to just be gentle and enjoy our time. Of course, there are other forms of enjoyment and my husband and I do enjoy long lazy bubble baths together and simple things like that. Often we just lay on the couch and enjoy feeling each other. This is a time to keep each other content because once the baby is here, sex is very much an afterthought! Long after the diapers, feedings, two am wake-ups and work, you might remember to enjoy each other's company. Pregnancy is a wonderful time and a couple can explore their relationship during this time. Try to relax, and remember that normal women have sex throughout their pregnancy and do not even blink an eye.
