SEX :-/

mrslinhart

Anyone else not enjoying it?  From what I've read you either love it and want it all the time or hate it and have no interest . . . I would fall into the latter.  DH has been really understanding but I feel bad for the guy

It has been ok for me - but not as great for DH.  I "feel" different to him which, doesn't help things for us.

It hurts. No matter how much lube we use, it feels like pins and needles. I can't wait until I can enjoy it again.  We are not having intercourse anymore, but there is a lot more to intimacy than just that!

I feel disgusting and achy down there. We haven't done it for a few weeks now - poor DH.  We're going to start having sex again after this weekend to help naturally move things along.  I'm nervous for some reason.  It's just not as enjoyable anymore and all I can think of is bopping my baby's head.

I love it!! And want it all the time, but I don't know if anyone has the same problem that I do but I'm extremely sore and swollen down there. So, yes I want it, but it hurts after. I take the good and take the bad. And usually for hubby if I cant or don't want to, I make sure hes satisfied.

My drive hasn't changed at all since getting pg. The only thing that has changed for us is that some of our normal positions are now painful and my cervix feels like a rock when he hits it. That's not pleasant.

We've been punished to pelvic rest since 20 weeks due to a low lying placenta. We finally get to go in for an u/s next week, but don't meet with the doc to see if the ban is lifted until the following week. 

The good news is I'm not exactly feeling in the mood anyways so I had an excuse.

sex is difficult for the both of us. we tried just the other day and 5 minutes into it, starting laughing at the situation. Its impossible to find a 'good' position, doesnt feel good to me, and DH doesnt want to hurt me. I think we both decided to hold off until after the baby gets here.

I know that this is probably TMI but my DH as "gone downstairs" I gues you could say and I swear it has never felt so good in my life. Now regular sex is awkward b/c my belly is so big but it still feels good.......this is so weird to me b/c we used to never have sex.

Loooove it and cant get enough... :-)

I'm not interested in penetration (a bit uncomfortable for me) but am still extremely into being sexual...love satisfying him in any way I can, and him satisfying me in other ways! But the penetration is just a turn-off for me right now.

I don't enjoy it either. But I do throw my DH a bone at least once a week eventhough I don't want it at all.

This! Glad I am not the only one. Poor DH He is understanding though. I do want it but it just hurts whenever we do. I really do wish I could enjoy it

Ditto this. The last week, I have wanted it all.the.time. I think about it all the time too. It's crazy, with DS I had no interest in it at the end. Unfortunately, I am so sore down there and swollen. I have symphisis pubis dysfunction too so it's really painful at times. I always do it and then kind of regret it afterwards because I get even more sore and swollen, plus contractions. It just seems worth it to me at the time though! LOL

I am four days away from my due date and I keep trying to psych myself up for some lovin' from DH but I just can't muster up the interest. I'm as big a whale and the pressure from penetration is not fun. I feel bad for him... hopefully my libido will bounce back... in six months or so..lol

THIS! I also have symphisis pubis dysfunction and oh my  gosh I regret moving in any way shape or form. DH is terrified to touch me because my pelvic bone feels like it is broken and I cant move my leg very well at all. It's gotten worse in the last couple of weeks. But I love having sex still, even though there is no more "on top" for me and DH cannot really get on top either because my belly is in the way. so its stricktly doggie for us. only way that doesnt kill my leg also!

I would fall into the "hate it and have no interest" category. In my second trimester I was "love it and want it all the time"...weird how things changed, wish they hadn't. 

Jess8589

I definitely fall into the no interest category. It doesn't help that since June I've had a yeast infection like once a month - but I just feel huge and unsexy. We haven't had sex since the beginning of July and I feel bad so I am going to try to make sure that we do it at least once more before the baby comes...but you are definitely not alone!

Ugh this is a sore subject for me. I would like it regularly but DH has been freaked about it ever since I have been able to feel the baby move. He doesn't want to feel the baby move during sex, so we don't have it. I suppose that there are positions that we could try to keep him from feeling the baby, but I think he's too freaked out for those, too. I can't help but feel stupid and ugly because of it. I can't wait for a normal sex life again but I am so scared that having a baby will make that hard, too.

What is this "s-e-x" you speak of?

Seriously, I'm frigging massive, uncomfortable and can barely breathe sitting upright. It's not happening at all right now. Plus I've got 2 babies kicking the hell out of my insides at any given time -- it's just weird! It'll just have to wait until sometime PP. Sad but true.
