so dry!! (TMI)

JennyNL

Hey gals,

So DH and I have been having sex less and less... I am 34 weeks now and it's just not the same. About once a week now. He is SO good about it, cause for a while I was having major leg cramps after (sciatia) and still get Braxton hicks, and he doesnt want anything to happen...

But I just find when we do do it, i am SO dry! never used to be a problem before. i mean, we used lube on occasion but havent for ages.. now, even with him concentrating on me for ages and ages, i am still dry as anything. i dont want to be but i am! anyone else have this problem?? is lube safe anyway??

I had this problem when I was pregnant with my DS.  I'm don't remember but I would ask your ob.  Good luck.

I have had a lot of issues with sex even before becoming pregnant.  We have to do A LOT of foreplay and H has to go down on me every single time to even try to attempt it.  The juices I get flowing from that plus a little spit and we are good to go.  I noticed last time we tried (it was a failed attempt) we did foreplay for a good 20 minutes and I was still dry as a bone...so I feel your pain!

I had this issue in the 2nd trimester. I'm usually the way opposite (like too wet-TMI).

Last night at breastfeeding class the instructor really focused on this topic too. Apparently breastfeeding makes EVERYTHING dry (makes sense).

I'm not really sure if regular lube is safe. When we were TTC I bought Pre-seed lube and we used that during my 2nd trimester when the issue occured. It's pricey but we really like it and I know it's safe. We've tried KY before and I never really liked it.

I have the same problem. Lube is 100% safe according to my OB, but it doesn't hurt to check with yours just to see what his/her wishes are. Personally I like the brand WET, or as awkward as this sounds Astroglide. we actually picked it up by mistake and it worked wonders.

Good Luck
