Is anyone one else terrified at the thought of the pain of the baby trying to come out based on the pain you've experienced with your husband trying to get in?!?!
Yes- and the pain I experienced during and after my first internal also made me nervous about pushing a baby out.... what have we gotten ourselves into!?!
Sex? What's that? DH is freaked out by the thought of LO being in there, jumping all around, so I just don't have an answer for ya on this one, unfortunately.

This!! My OB manually dilated me and it was the worst pain of my life. I haven't had sex in a while, but I remember when my RLP made it literally impossible. Ouch.
My main concern is the pushing part. I not as nervous about the contractions!!
This exactly. I mean, I feel like he is too big for me, I think because I am swollen down there, and I think he is nothing compared to the size of a baby. Everytime we try I always make the comment I don't see how a baby is supposed to come out from there, it seems impossible at this point.

I am so relieved to hear I'm not the only one experiencing this! Sex has been very painful recently so I cannot even imagine what it would be like to try to push a baby out without meds. No thanks, I modern medicine.
I just got some today, for the sake of maybe softening my cervix before my first internal & as we were having sex, I'm thinking "Oh my goodness, this ish hurts! How am I going to push this baby out when it hurts so much to get something in?" lol, I was not focused AT ALL.

For sure! Sex was painful at 20ish weeks, so it's been a long while, but the internal this week confirmed that things are still pretty cramped right now.

*raises hand* Yeah, I don't think I've ever been so *closed up* before. I'm wanting sex more because I know it will be harder to come by when baby is here, but darn it does hurt.
