Sexy question

BabyNSR

I know we say there can't really be any TMI's around here because we're all pregnant...but if there was, this might be it. I'm worried because of missionary man-on-top sex. It put a lot of pressure on my uterus from time-to-time, but I had enough breaks from it that we kept going. When the pressure came though, it really did hurt. I now know I should have stopped. If only I could go back! Now I have bad lower back pain, and I don't know if the two are related. I'm concerned that I've done some damage to my baby (or heaven forbid, worse). Anyone know anything about this topic? Should I be worried? TIA.

I wouldn't be unless you feel cramping and/or get spotting. You may have just put strain on the muscles there. Don't stress about it! I get back pain all the time.

Thanks for the response. I'm kind of getting cramping. It's very very light menstrual like cramps. I don't really want to call the doctor for no reason though, ya know? Suggestions?

I've been getting light cramping after my husband and I have sex. I've heard that's normal. But it never hurts to call your doctor or advice nurse. They encourage us to call with ANY questions even if it turns out to be nothing. It's better to be safe than sorry.

I was having really bad pains yesterday and my advice nurse told me the doc wasn't too worried. It's most likely my uterus stretching for the baby. I have an appointment next week so we're going to talk about it more. But they were very understanding and encouraged me to call anytime I felt something wasn't right.

Cramping after sex is normal, don't freak out! It's small contractions from having an orgasm. It will not hurt you or your baby in any way! It's if the cramping is severe and painful that you have problems- the progesterone in the semen can send women into labor, which is why doctors suggest lots of sex after women hit 39 wks.

Try putting your knees up, then laying them both down to one side. You'll be on your side, but this is one of the few ways that's comfy later on when you're huge anyway. Missionary is getting a little hard for us too, because I'm uncomfy with my DH on top of me. (He's not a light man.) You can also scoot your butt to the end of the bed and let your DH stand, then you both get the satisfaction of the missionary feel without him being on you. Sorry if TMI, hope this helps you!
