Thread: How to make getting pregnant not be like a chore.

My husband of 3 1/2 years and I have finally agreed to have another baby. My daughter is now 2 1/2. I was on birth control since I had her, and went off in August due to no sex drive at all. Now, I have a drive that is abslutly amazing to me because I have never felt like this before. More now then even a few months ago. Not even when we were first married...I am pretty sure that I am ovulating sometime this week, and we started trying yesterday. When I asked him this afternoon, he said that he was worn out and he didn't feel like it (we had sex twice)....I don't know how to make this all seem fun and make him feel like this is special time for us, and not just a chore to get pregnant again. Help!

My husband and I have been trying for a baby for 2 or so months now, and we try to incorporate as much romance as we can into sex. He likes to take a bath or shower with me first to relax him (not a very hot bath- I've heard that it can reduce his sperm count), and I try to set a romantic setting as well -candles, get the fireplace going in the bedroom, watch a romantic movie first. I also found that "talking sex" during the day really works to get him to anticipate intercourse at night. Give him a phone call during the day and tell him how sexy you think he is, or buy a peice of lingerie and leave it in his truck for him to find on his way to work in the morning, etc. You've gotta get SEX (with you) on his brain

We are still newly weds so we're not exactly getting tired of sex just yet, but this helps get my hubby in the 'mood'.

Good luck and hope this helps
