Is it normal for me to rather sleep than have sex?
I'm two months pregant, with morning sickness thru out the day,
I wake up at 5 in the morning to get myself ready for work and the kids to school, I come back at 7 P.M. and help the kids with homework and to spend time with them. This pregnacy makes me really sleepy and I'm having problems with my husband because of it. Please help...

It might be hard for him to see the pregnancy since your only 2 months, how was he with the other pregnancies, talk to him and try not to let your hormones in the way! LOL better said than done I know. The only thing is you can sleep even if it's for a few minutes whenever you can. Can't he help with the kids? Good luck!

Hon, as a gift to the marriage, get a baby sitter on a weekend day and spend the day at a hotel together. Or, if that would be outside the budget, have a friend take the children for the day and then... you can return the favor another weekend.
Take a long nap together and when you wake up, spend some "special" time for your marriage. It's a gift for your husband--- will make him a happy guy!

Oh yes definately - i mean not only are you pregnant, you already have children! I'm pregnant with my first and in my early pregnancy the desire to sleep was FAR GREATER than my desire to have sex! Everytime he tried i'd get out of bed! lol.
My sex drive did increase in the second trimester - and now at the end of the third (am 37 wks now) i don't want it again.
Talk to him - surely he will understand its a mix of hormones, work obligations, family obligations etc - and its just not leaving any energy left over for sex.
Good luck to you!

First off YES! lol pregnancy takes its toll on our bodies and through my first and third pregnancies i didnt want to get outta bed. One thing to be aware of is your iron. If you think your excessivly tired talk to your doc have them check your iron levels. Eat spinach and red meat to help with your iron but dont eat those the night before you get your iron checked. I did and i got a false reading because it was high from my dinner the night before. Other than that make sure you get enough water. Being dehydrated can effect your energy.
Plus being pregnant doesnt do so good for the libido so hubby will just have to deal! lol your working hard!

I'd rather do the same thing. Then again I wasn't really all into sex before hand. I'm 6 months pregnant and I'd rather pass up sex and just cuddle and jazz and then hit the sack. haha. but that doesn't happen b/c i dont want my b/f to get mad and feel "neglected" in that area.
anyhow, it's totally normal. Try to talk to your husband and let him know how you feel. Good Luck and congrats on your pregnancy! =]

That is perfectly normal! Especially in the early stages of pregnancy. I'm 5 months along and I'm still more interested in sleep than sex. The further along you'll get, it should get better.

you are growing a child. your body is fatigued. your husband should understand, if he doesnt let him know its not him, its the pregnancy. u have to work and take care of children. dont exaust yourself trying to make everybody happy. ur unborn child needs u to rest.
just let ur hubby know im sure he will understand.
matter fact, try letting him cater to the kids while u rest, and when they are tucked in bed you two can get what u need.

Pretty typical, I think. Wait about 1 1/2 more months when you get your "second wind" of energy that is typical during your 2nd trimester. You'll want it all the time!

Get your husband to do more in the mornings and in the evenings so you can have more time free. Delegate some of the chores to him.
