Is this TMI? I'm kind of an open book so I hope this thread is ok to post.
DH had sex today for the first time in far too long. I've been too scared/not feeling sexy/etc to try.
I felt like a virgin today. Thank God for lube. DH has been so sweet and supportive.
Are you all still keeping up with that part of your relationship? Any tips? Any embarrassing stories?
I am just so relieved I didn't feel her kick me during our time..I knew if I felt that I'd be done for.

One time we tried him on top for a minute or two and he apparently put too much pressure on my belly and I [unknowingly] peed the bed. Not quite a full bladder, but close. Since then we always put a towel down.
Best advice? Go pee IMMEDIATELY beforehand [and of course afterwards, too].
Last time we tried, I was on top and we both watched as LO shoved her elbow across my belly... We stopped shortly after. We both have a good humor so we just kind of giggled about it, we haven't tried again since.
ETA: I also get some serious BH after, last time we were able to "complete" the deed, I didn't move for a couple hours and was in tears... While FI was snoring in my ear.

We used lube for the first time last night and wow what a difference. I still feel fat and rolly polley but we just kind of have fun with it and laugh at ourselves.
We always seem to be on our side.
Me on top, or, since we have an adjustable base, missionary still works as long as he doesn't lay on my belly.

I hate side lying positions. I don't know why, haha. So, it's either me on top or from behind. Honestly, from behind has been the most comfortable for me. It takes all the weight off my belly and there is no weirdness about either of us feeling the baby move in this position.
This exactly.
This is pretty much us, too..
Even before pregnancy this happened with us, and it was more painful for me than him.
The third trimester its only been like 1x a week, maybe twice.
The last couple weeks have been rough. Between me being exhausted and finding a position that actually is pleasurable for me, its kinda been a chore for me.
Same here. My drive is high, but h is just not feeling it. It's not really a huge deal because I don't mind helping myself out if need be.
We're between 1 and 3 times a week. Some good positions: current fave: up against the wall (well hardly up against it anymore.. I lean on my forearms and bend); others that work well with the bump: doggie, me on top, side laying (it's practical, but not my fave), semi-missionary (I stack pillows behind me so I'm half sitting up. The first time we tried this was amazing because we hadn't tried missionary in SO long).
Are the pillows under your back or hips? I'd really like to switch things up from always side lying.
Only once since I've been PG. it was on Mother's Day when we were showering together. My DH feels uncomfortable having sex knowing our little girl is inside. He says it has nothing to do with me or the physical changes my body is going thru while being PG. he just can't get into the mood when he thinks of the baby every time he looks at me.
I took the no sex thing very hard for awhile but finally just stopped worrying. I just tell myself that when it does finally happen after LO is born it will be like the first time. Which will be exciting and special. It's like being a virgin until marriage. No sex til after bAby.
as far as positions, we have found what works best with my big ole belly(and is the least work for both of us) is this one- The-Kneeling-Fox ('cept instead of being on all fours I'm usually on my knees as well.) teehee.
The first time in like two months we have sex and all hell breaks loose.
-DH put his hand on my belly and one of the twins kicked him. Weirded him out.
-Two words: Vaginal Discharge. Ick, ick, ick. Something he never wanted to see on his body parts.
-I had gas and he put pressure on just the right spot. He about puked. I was laughing so hard I couldnt stop farting and was dying that it even happened.
In short, I dont think we will be having sex for a long, long time.
