Re: no energy...?

May 9, 2004

Aaliyah,

My energy kick lasted a total of 2 weeks. Of course at 20w 5d we

found out we were having twins and that made my extreme fatigue make

a lot more sense.

I don't think WLS makes us more likely to experience more fatigue,

but I could be wrong. I really think that every woman is different

and every pregnancy will have its own quirks. I hear stories all the

time from WLSers and non WLSers about how they never got that surge

of energy in the 2nd trimester.

Although I am certainly " nesting " these days, I still don't have a

lot of energy to take care of things so as much as I would like to do

to get ready for these little ones, I have to space it all out and do

a little each night or a little each week.

BTW... that whole 2nd trimester sexual surge lasted for about a week,

much to hubbies dismay.

Boy am I in this club! I have no energy whatsoever, always feel like

laying in bed and/or sleeping. I'm so tired that I hate going to

work too...and I just went back! Funny, I whined the when I wasn't

working, then my ex-boss called me back to my old position. Now that

I'm back, I'm wondering WHY?!?!?!

I was hoping for a boost of energy in the next few weeks too. I

guess I'll just wait and see.

I have been married for 18 years and to tell the truth both of our

sex drive has diminished. (nothing like the libido of the teenagers

we were when we were first together) I find though that the more I

have sex the more the drive increases but for scheduling reasons we

are just not on the same schedule where it is conveinient to have

sex. There is so much more to our relationship than sex that actually

if something were to happen to my hubby and he could never have sex

again I would be ok with it and be satisfied in other ways. We tried

to have sex on schedule for 2 years trying to concieve that neither

one of us wants to do it any more unless we are in the mood. All that

aside I have not noticed any increase in libdo since second trimester

but I am older(37) and do feel tired alot. He gives me the most

wonderful backrubs each night and it literally knocks me out. I have

to tell you though if e is anything like me(I often have

to " try to get in the mood " too) your advances in a sensual gental

way will do alot to help her get in the mood. If my husband only

waited for me to make advances I think I would feel that he does

not " want " to have sex with me or (hormonally speaking)he doesn't

find me attractive now that I am pregnant. I like to feel desired and

even on the rare occasion when another man flirts with me it will do

alot for my libdo even though I have no desire to have sex with

anyone else. I am just telling you this so that you know that many

women can " get in the mood " if their man approaches the situation

correctly. That is not to say though that if she directly tells you

no she is NOT in the mood you should continue to persue it that

night. Just think about all of this and continue to treat her with

all the love you have in your heart. - Diane

> With me, I know that she is going through a lot to give us a child

so I don't initiate anything anymore...we do not have sex until she

asks for it...so then I know she can take it...has any of you

experienced vaginal dryness during pregnancy...e has to lay

there and concentrate to get in the mood and become " Ready " ...before

she got prgnant...she was ready before she hit the bed...and now she

never has a sex drive...usually women's drive heightens when she

becomes pregnant...
