Is it true that some women are more easily "aroused" when pregnant? I am a little curious because my wife is then exact opposite and I was wondering if this is a normal occurance of if this is another case of some women do and some don't...

It can go either way. During certain months/trimesters they can lose all sexual drive. Other times they have increased libido. It's all very random.

SEX DURING PREGNANCY
you'll properly find that your libido fluctuates during pregnancy. Some women find that their sex drive increases, others that the very thought of sex makes them shudder. There is no physical reason for you to avoid sex during pregnancy, unless you have had previous miscarriages or experienced cervical problems or heavy bleeding, in which case your doctor may advise you to abstain during the early months. If you can't have sex or don't want to, remember that there are many other ways of expressing your love for each other, including kissing, stroking, caressing and body massage.
Sexual positions may need to change as your body changes. For many women the most comfortable position for sex later in pregnancy is lying on their side.
Orgasms can cause the muscles of the vagina and uterus to contract, but this is unlikely to cause any problems.
With all the hormonal changes going on, you may not feel like sex. Your partner's libido may also be affected. Having a baby is a big life event that affects people in different ways. The most important thing is to talk to one another about how you feel. You may become less focused on sexual intercourse and enjoy being intimate in other ways.

I have two children and I was different each time. I felt very sick with my second child and just wanted to be left alone. When that passed and my hormones go straight i got back to my self. It was my husband that didn't want to do anything as I got bigger he was afraid he would hurt the baby...Your wife's sexual nature will change from month to month even day to day. Hormones play a large part in how we feel about having sex. Be very gentle with her and let her know she is loved by doing little things and don't make her feel guilty and this will pass very fast. Good luck

That is true for some women, but for others it's just the opposite. When morning sickness is intense, generally women just feel very tired and not at all up for it. Sometimes on the second trimester, after morning sickness is gone, the sexual drive is back and you just have to choose a confortable positon ;)

You are right some do and some dont. Others are sexually active only at a certain stage of their pregnancy and quickly go off it.
Think of this lack of activity as practice for the six weeks the doctors say to avoid sex after the birth.

Every woman and every pregnancy is different. Also sometimes each stage or trimester is different as well. She might not feel like it now, but that could change as her body and hormones change. Just be patient and kind, and hopefully she will feel better. Hope she is one of the more aroused ones later and stays that way. Oh and congrats on the coming baby!

It all depends on the woman. Every woman is different. Pregnant women can be sexual active if they want to. There is a lot going on in her body aches soreness swellings kicks weight gain.... and so much more than that. Just try to make her feel as comfortable as you can and support her.

becoming up in the mid-west, I used to think of it became a woman who spoke brazenly, making a grand prepare by way of fact i did no longer think of people regarded me as a sexual being otherwise. Now, i think of a sexually liberated lady is one that would not sense the could fake that she's greater or much less prudish than she is. She's soft and beneficial being a sexual being, making no apologies or grandiose caricatures (ok, perchance often times for relaxing).

It definetely is one of those things that depend upon the woman. With my first two I had no interest in sex, but with my one year old and with this pregnancy I am very muchly interested, more so than normal. It just depends on the woman. Also, during pregnancy, women are going through so much with their hormones, morning sickness, and fatigue that they just don't want to deal with sex. Be patient with your wife.

Yes, I think some women can be sexually active during pregnancy period. And that all depends on individual body. But I hope I can be sexually active and aroused during my pregnancy period. That can be quite sexy too.

It varies with each pregnancy. I have five children and with 2 of them I barely wanted to be touched but with the other 3, I couldn't get enough.
