Sex Drive Question

Okay ladies - yet another TMI post!
I'd read in some of the pg books that sex drive increases during pg. At first I thought they were CRAZY b/c between throwing up, sleeping, and generally feeling disgusting, I couldn't imagine DTN, let alone get up the energy to shave my legs or do other things that make DTN more pleasant for DH and I :-)
And then, this week began (I'm going into wk 11). I feel like I'm a sex-crazed teenager or something - in fact, I feel like DH acts all the time. hehehe - he'd get so mad if he knew I said that. All I can think about is sex. All I dream about is sex. It's RIDICULOUS!
Am I the only one that's going through this? Does this continue for a long time? DH definitely is NOT complaining about this side effect of pg.

This is quite common.

Welcome to the "horny all the time" club!!
I wish I were in this club! I'm part of the sex drive has gone kaput club. I feel bad for DH because my interest has been seriously declining with each passing week. My suspicion is my lack of libido is anxiety related. Since I had spotting in the beginning we have both been a bit nervous to DTN. I thought it would get less with time but I think in some ways my anxiety has gotten a bit worse! I am hoping I can relax at some point and just 'enjoy'!

Amanda,
I am, and have typically been, of the sex-crazed club!
Lisa--(threadjacking, sorry!)
Do you know that a lot of guys find it a huge turn-on DTN with their obviously pg wives?

Sorry in advance but I am going to go ahead and do some threadjacking too :0)
Since Kathy was so bold with some of her suggestions, I have a question that I have been dying to ask but too shy to...(sorry in advance for TMI!!!)
Has anyone heard/read about nipple stimulation sparking labor? I read that and I honestly think it is contributing to my many anxieties about DTN these days and my low libido. Even when DH and I do it I am practically yelling at the poor guy to stay the heck away from my boobs! I guess I have it in my head that he might accidentally throw me into preterm labor or something, I don't know but it's a problem!
Anyone have any thoughts/advice on this?!
TIA,
Michelle

Michelle-
There is a theory that nipple stimulation can trigger labor, but the chances are really slim of it happening.
