When i was pregnant i went right off sex, for the past three years since having my son i only wanted it about once a month (my husband was gutted!!!). We have been trying for a baby for the past few months and it feels like he's flipped a switch in me!!! I have been demanding sex every night when i'm at my most fertile, and we must be doing it every other night on the days that i'm not. I (and he!) can't understand or believe the change in me.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Is it just a phase - will i go off sex again if i fall pregnant?
Is it normal??

First, you're not a nymphomaniac, unless of course you like the idea in which case by all means keep the title.
Second, this is an hormonal thing. Something happens to your body when it goes through major changes like pregnancy and yours now has a greatly increased sex drive (good news for your husband, and hopefully for you!)
Third, and sad news for your husband, if and when you fall pregnant again your body could change again and you could end up with a lower sex drive than before your first pregnancy.
Finally, even if a second pregnancy and birth doesn't lower your sexual appetite, trust me when I tell you that with two kids you'll never find the time to satisfy it :)

I think you are close to being pretty much normal. A nymphomaniac would be craving sex ten times a day, and you are nowhere near that. Most likely your hormone levels are just spiking all over the place. It might have to do with your attitude, too. If you are trying to have a baby then you see things differently. You might go right off it again once you do because you will have other things on your mind. When you have a one-month-old screaming its head off at two AM it will be hard for you to be thrashing around in the bed with all that music going on in the background.

That is perfectly normal. It's your body's clock telling you it's baby time. Women are usually biologically/physically more responsive when they are most fertile. Go with it, girlfriend. It's all good. And you'll get that baby soon enough. Also, women hit their sexual peaks in the early 30's. Maybe that's it, too. And as far as being pregnant, I don't know. I was always really horny while I was pregnant but I have a high sex drive for a woman anyway. I could never find a man who could keep up until I met my current husband. He can't match me but he tries. That's good enough. Lol. :0)

I think it's pretty normal. When I thought there was still a posibility that I might get pregnant, I was crazy! Practically tearing my husband's clothes off the second he came through the door. It must be our subconscience telling us we really want a baby. I don't know if you'll go off sex again, but your sex drive will probably return to normal. Also, how old are you? It may be that you're coming into your sexual peak.

The urge to have sex increases with age. Your wanting to have a baby may also be making your brain produce hormones that are increasing your sex drive. A lot of women find they have less sex drive after having a baby. This does normally pass on it's own.

OK let me get this straight - you're trying to have another baby and you want sex all the time. You're turned on and your husband is loving it... So you're writing Yahoo answers to ? Are you Catholic? Feeling guilty about sex? I can't see any other reason why something as fabulous as wanting sex with the man you love, having a husband who wants it too, and WANTING to make a child out this whole very, very good predicament... Write back when you have a problem!:)

its pretty much normal to be wanting to have sex everyday.
its just a hormonal change i think more a mental change your brain is sending strong signals to your body that you want to concieve and therefore you MUST have sex.
You are not a nymphomaniac unless you want to do it with every man you see so chill you are very much a normal woman.
Stop worrying and enjoy it.
its just like when you are growing up as a child you you feel very hungry.

First off, GOOD LUCK! My husband and I totally went threw the same thing this summer while trying to conceive! So... if it isn't normal--you're not alone! I had first tried to figure out those ovulation calendars when... whatever... In four months I swear we only skipped one day (and it was when I had 102 fever with my head in the toilet!) IT WORKED THOUGH! for us and hopefully it will for you too!
