1 in 5 say Yes! to sex when pregnant


By JANE SYMONS Deputy Health Editor

ONE in five women crave sex during pregnancy, a survey revealed yesterday.
Forty per cent of these are most eager at the halfway point.
But love-making often becomes a distant memory after the baby is born, with most parents having a romp less than once a week.
And more than half the women surveyed — 51.4 per cent — said they just DON’T like sex at all.
Sleep
Fewer than one in five couples make love twice a week or more, according to the survey of 7,000 women for parenting website Netmums.
One in four do it once a week and 18 per cent once a month. Four per cent of women admitted they had not had sex with their partner for more than a YEAR.
Almost half - 40 per cent fancy a good night’s sleep more than a romp, but headaches are hardly ever used to explain their lack of libido.
The top excuses for avoiding sex are too tired, that time of the month or keeping mum and pretending to be asleep.
And they realise they’re putting their relationships on the line.
Almost all - 95 per cent - agree that sex is important for a a successful relationship.
Brad Pitt is the celebrity Britain’s mums are most likely to lust after, along with George Clooney, Daniel Craig and Will Smith.
Power doesn’t hit the G-spot. Only 0.3 per cent fantasised over David Cameron and 0.1 think Gordon Brown is sexy.
Parents are most likely to make out at night, with 41 per cent having sex when children are asleep.
But one in five have been caught out by the kids.
One three-year-old thought his mum and dad were playing Tigger - Winnie the Pooh’s friend the bouncing tiger.
Red-faced parents have told children they were play fighting, horsing around or looking for something lost under the duvet.
One mum promised her 14-year-old son they would knock on his door when he was old enough to have girls home if he showed his parents the same respect.
She said: “He replied, ‘Yeah, OK, but mum, I thought you gave up doing it once you are knocking on the door to 40!”
Netmums' sex therapist, Chris Bannigan said: “Many of the mums we see chatting on the Netmums forums find it really difficult to talk to their partner about this."
He will be answering questions online today, from 10am to 3pm and 8pm to 9pm. Click here for details.
SUN GP Dr Carol Cooper says mums-to-be are often surprised how sexy they feel but its more in the head than the hormones.
She adds: “The breasts are more sensitive and body nicely rounded. It can be a turn-on for men and women.”
