I think all of us on SSM know when you were hormonally challenged, HP. We'd show up in the morning, log in, say, oh, HP posted early today (or late last night) and, expecting your usual light-hearted story of the pregnant sex fiend, would, instead, go wide-eyed at the latest rant.
But I have to say, "intellectually" we can usually tell when we're being irrational, but it's usually in hindsight. Or, sometimes, I can see myself as if it's kind of an out-of-body thing. Watching myself go ape-sh*t is not a fun thing.
Hdog, You mean you KNEW when I was psycho??! Well my lands, I had no idea! (spoken in my best Scarlett imitation)
Hey what can I say..Momma doesn't suffer fools easily and my H sure can act de fool sometimes.
I am due a week from Tuesday but I was way overdue with my first two and I'm sure I will be with this one as well. Now THAT folks is when the sh*t will hit the Honey fan. As much as I hate being denied sex, I hate being overdue even worse with a baby that I have patiently and calmly (lol) carried for 40 weeks!
Thanks for asking.
And yes watching yourself go apecrap is no fun. But it sure feels good at the time.
Chris, Nah no plan. Just concentrate on physically healing, trying not to fall asleep while standing due to sleep deprivation, hoping that my nipples toughen up at some point....you know, the usual postpartum stuff.
With D2 we had sex at 4 weeks, and I will be fine if that is when it feels physically good enough. (that is, barring any tearing and additional healing time, etc)
Are you asking me if H and I will mbate or give oral or hj's in the interim? No. But with the first two, I found that while I was excessively horny, I could wait simply because of the demands of a newborn and nursing, getting up every hour, etc.
It is AFTER the healing process is complete that I will have a hard time surviving if his drive has not bounced back.
I asked last night if he would have been able to finish (these last two times we've ML) if I were not preg and thin and he said yes. He then said he could have finished anyway but he would have had to really do it hard and aggressively. AS IF I would have been upset with that...? I don't understand his actions but they are his and his alone, kwim? I just said that he knows that I like it like that and wouldn't mind but if he feels uncomfortable pursuing an O aggressively, then that's what he gets. I said it a lot nicer than that, but that was the gist.
Don't fret. All but the last one of ours had to be evicted after overstaying their welcome. The last one was the only one who chose his own birthday (and so I finally go to experience the going into labor rush to the hospital thing). The good part about that is D6 shares my birthday...best birthday present a guy could get.
--GGB checking his calendar to see which day is best for delivery of the next one.
I will let him/her stay until 42 weeks and then see what options I have. I am rather anti-induction and prefer to let things happen naturally but, dang, these kids have a way of wanting to stay in there forever! (in fact, they are physically attached to me right at this moment so I guess it is something they have not outgrown.)
Yep, letting them hang out has its merits. That is until their heads get to be the size of a watermelon. S14 was induced 3 weeks after his due date, S11 also about 3 weeks, S7 a week after his due date (they knew he was big), and D6 2 days after her due date. S7mos came on his own 5 days before his due date.
