OK, I'm 9 weeks pregnant and just too darn tired to stay up late to have sex with hubby. I'm struggling to figure out when we can have sex, because the kids go to bed, and then I usually follow shortly thereafter. My son always gets up early to go pee, so I worry that early morning sex will wake him up. The last thing I need is a 2 or 4 year old walking in on us. I know I will have more energy in a few weeks, but I want to connect with hubby!
When do you find the time to connect with hubby, when you are just to tired?
Make sex a priority and you will make the time and the energy for it. I find that for myself, if I'm not taking my vitamins. I have no energy for anything and sex hits that list too.
Making connecting physically with my husband is a priority and mandatory and not a chore. My fight sometimes is just in my head then I have to reset my thinking and connect with my husband.
I'm 21 weeks pregnant now, and during early pregnancy, I was so ridiculously tired. I can't remember EVER being that tired. Sex was so far from my mind, LOL. So to me, the reality of the situation is that you're going to have to have sex when you feel like it. I mean, that kind of tired doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room. Unless you want to fall asleep in the act!
If it were me, I'd do it first thing in the morning. Shut & lock the bedroom door, and get it on!!
Where there's a will, there's a way!
I am a lover of the 'wake up' sex...most men are too....so just roll over and wake him up or give him the green light to wake you.
Also, a lock on your bedroom door is a must, IMO....and will come in handy throughout the years!
I say go ahead and go to sleep, but let hubby know that he's welcome to wake you up for some quality time. That works for us. Usually I am the one waking up my husband, but occassionally I go to sleep first. Nice way to be surprised.
Just wake him up earlier, but before you do that....turn on a Blues Clues CD (or whatever they like) and set a couple bowls of snack food on the floor. Then go and lock your door! Have fun ;)
Take a "power nap" in the early evening so you can stay awake a bit after the kids go to bed.
I find that no matter how tired I am, if I just get started, I wake right up and get energized!
Just lock your door
Put a lock on your door so that you know you won't be walked in on. You'll have the ability to stop and deal with the children on your terms. It will take time to get used to the idea that your child can interrupt you but eventually that will slide to the back of your mind and you can enjoy your private time together.
We almost always have sex in the morning. A lock on the bedroom door is a good thing! We make sure to lock the door, and do the deed quietly, especially now that our oldest is 10.
