Anyone 33+ weeks and still having sex regularly?

meechrobi

DH and I have continued to be fairly regular (2-3x's/wk) but I am feeling like it is becoming so uncomfortable. I cant move around anymore and I end up getting frustrated. ha!! Anyone else at that point?  The thing is I am not "doing it" just to please DH, I really enjoy the romantic time together, but this belly is getting in the way. I know if I told him we needed to slow it down to once a week he would be fine with it...I just know I will miss it. Wish it wasnt so uncomfortable!

Anyone else still "doing it" and not having any issues?

Oh girl!  Wait till your 37W and you can't even do anything cause your belly has taken over! haha  I'm lucky if it isn't too uncomfortable and we can once a week!  GL!!!

I'm not 33 weeks but I'm 31 weeks with twins.  We're still doing it 2-3 times a week too.  And I'm the same way, I know if I told my husband we needed to slow down he'd be fine with it, but I'd miss it a lot.  Haha.  I know that after the babies are born there's not going to be a chance for a long time! 

I'm definitely having issues feeling sexy, I can tell you that.  And the belly definitely gets in the way and it's sometimes uncomfortable, but somehow we manage it and everything works out fine. 

Good luck!

I wish! Our sex life pretty much died around 28 weeks.

We have been consistently 2-3 times per week most of the way through the pregnancy.  The good (and bad) news is that many months ago it stopped being "for me," my choice...just not feeling into it.  And I just wanted to make sure he was getting what he needed.  So, I think that has made it easier to keep doing it now because he knows how uncomfortable I am and it is just to get the job done and not about getting me to a good place.  There are positions that are easier than others and I think we will keep up the pace right 'til the end.  Try to keep it up but don't do it if you're miserable!

I am so jealous.

I haven't kept track of how often, but we still do at least once or twice a week (I think). DH would like more, but I'm not in the mood for more or am just too tired after school/work/externship. My belly doesn't cause too much of a problem (some), but it's mostly my inability to move much or fast. Takes me 5 min to get outta bed, let alone in position!

Seems like every week or two we have to find a new position that kinda works. Once we get the rhythm, it's fine, but there are certainly complications to getting it started. Sometimes it takes so long to figure out how to position that DH starts to give up. I just tell him to calm down, and that if he wants to keep having sex, he'll have to be patient.

Sort-of!  I keep having side issues, otherwise we would be.  Stupid false alarm sent me to L/D and scared us away a few days.  We finally got to have sex again and I got a yeast infection.  I'm all clear now though so he better watch out!

Oh - the ONLY good position at this point is doggy style.  If I'm on top, my belly hits him and it distracts both of us.  I hate laying on my side.  It also works okay if he stands off the bed and I lay down.  Otherwise, the creativity is gone.

And just an FYI for all of you 1st time moms.  Sex after baby is weird, at first.  Once your hormones even out the sex gets better than EVER!  When DS was 9 months old I think I started having the best sex of my life!  I was worried that I'd be loose.  Well let me tell you, loosening up a bit is NOT all that bad!  Other moms I've talked to say that sex gets better after each kid.

Just a little something to look forward to!

We've still been doing it about twice a week or so.  It slowed down a bit but not much.  It's strictly doggy now though.

Still having sex, still enjoying and plan to till the end just like I did with my other two.  It gets more awkward as you get toward the end because your belly just takes over, but we enjoy sex and we know a time is coming when we can't for a while, so we may as well enjoy it now.  Not only do we both enjoy it, but we both know it serves to soften my cervix as well, so we keep truckin' on.  We can only have sex with me on top now.  It just doesn't work any other way for us at this point.

I have to agree with this!  It's gotten better after each of our previous two.  I don't know if it's "loosening" up because it sure didn't feel that loose, or if it's a new kind of connection, but it got better each time.  I'm looking forward to sex after this baby and hoping that trend continues.

We are at 2/3 times a week still.  I don't really do a lot of the work so maybe that's why it isn't too bad for me. We still do missionary most of the time, some doggie style but missionary always feels the best to me so I get my 5 pillows behind my back and it's not too bad.   I don't really see us cutting back anytime soon.   DH is really good about not try to get any when I'm really tired.  We mostly do it on the weekend when I have some energy.

Well, I did right up to the end with no problems my last 2 pregnancies.  Hopefully it's the same this time.  So far so good!  When I get too big we switch to spooning but it's still fun...

This.  The last time I can remember having sex was around 22 weeks.  You go girl!

Sex? What is that???

We tried last week. Total fail. It hurt me too much, I felt like a virgin for some reason.

Pfffft... we haven't since 28 weeks. Contractions started last time we did, and we were admitted to L&D. Poor DH.

Had yummy sex this morning! We still got it

?Then maybe Michelle Duggar is smarter than the rest of us? ? Hmm...?

I prefer to do it during the day when I have the most energy, we both work a lot through so that pretty much makes weekday sex an exception not the norm.  I prefer to be on top and I sometimes wear a little baby doll style top to cover my bump a little.  Sometimes it takes few mins to get myself into a comfortable position especially for any foreplay but after that we are usually just fine!

We were doing good with 3-4 times a week until Wednesday when DH started a new job. The contract only lasts until the middle of December, which conveniently is when my LO is due. But this new job is 10 hours/day, 7 days/week!! So he leaves to go to work 5:45a-6a & then leaves work about 5:30...so its 6 when he gets home. He's starving, eats dinner, relaxes for about an hour & then while I'm in the middle of doing something else, he tries to attack me at like 7:30-8 but I'm in the "I gotta get this done right now" mode! Around 8:30, he goes & lays down. I did it the first night, thinking I could get on his schedule...oh no. I went to bed at 8:30, fell asleep around 9...woke up when he did to go to work & then I went back to sleep and slept until 10!! So now it seems like I'm sleeping longer! Usually we'd go to bed between 10-12 and he'd get up at 6:30 but with the new job, time change, work change...yuck! And now it seems like we have a lot going on after he gets off of work on the weekends. So we're both going to be exhausted. Yep, bye bye sex life, see you next year!
