2nd Trimester

sex positions!

sex is getting really tricky and its very frustrating! and im not even big yet! we usually like missionary but that just doesnt work anymore. trying it from behind is hard because i have to hold myself up and it gets really tiring. on our sides doesnt work either. if im on top i cant seem to get the rythym right. what is working for you?

Re: sex positions!

  • What works for us, is me on my side and my husband at the end, sort of straight...I don't know if that makes sense?!

    that DOES make sense! i forgot about this one. thank you!! 

  • This may not work depending on how your bedroom is set up...but my side of the bed is just far enough away from the wall that I can easily put my feet against the wall (laying on the edge of the bed) while DH is standing next to the bed. We have a king sized bed so it's pretty tall.

    This would also work if you can't put your feet on the wall -- just have your DH hold your legs up.

  • I support myself with a bunch of pillows during doggy style, makes it much more comfy.

    You can also try missionary at the side of the bed.  That way DH can stand and gives your tummy more room

    hahhaha i don't know why but i was so confused for a second....i get it now..i guess its the lack of regular sex!!

  • LOL, I completely agree with everything you just said! We've found a couple of solutions:

     1. Standing up with the woman leaning on a counter or on knees while leaning on bed. With man behind. 

    2. From behind but with pillows under the woman's belly to support. Enough pillows allows you to relax, but there's not too much pressure on the belly.

    3. Kind of scissoring with the man on his left side and the woman on her back.

    Good luck! 

  • thank you ladies! there is hope!! lol.
  • We basically stick to either missionary or me on top but since I got pregnant, even when I was in the first tri and no belly, DH felt like he was squishing the baby and was too worried to really enjoy the moment. Me on top works best and that's the only other position we have done lately but I am not opposed to doggy style.

    Sorry, no new positions to help you out. Maybe you could get a mellow sex book and you can find new positions (I'm not talking about getting a Kama Sutra unless that's what you want.. lol) and maybe some other new things to try. Wink

  • The most comfortable position i've found even with my big belly is laying somewhat on my side with my tummy on Two huge pillows and my hubby from behind at the same angle. It's like Doggy but very Less penitration so it's hella safe and we both enjoy it.

    We do this, me on top, doggie with pillows, we tried the side by side but it doesnt work well...

  • Me on my back (laying on bed - butt slightly off) and DH standing on the side of bed. Works for us-

  • Or away from the bedroom...you sitting on counter top and him standing in front of you.

  • We do the 'X" position...we are both on our sides, heads away from each other and join in the middle. I dont know if that makes sense or not. It is hard to explain. Lucky for me that was our fav postion pre preg and it works preg too. Here is a cartoon image link https://www.bycherieamour.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/x-position.bmp  Except my leg is not over his shoulder, but over top of his so my legs make a sandwhich out of his legs. Hope that helps.
  • One position that I find feels amazing and is still comfortable is when DH kneels on the bed and I lay with my legs straight up in the air, resting on his shoulders with a pillow under my bum.

    Kind of like the one pictured on this site... but modified.

  • My belly isn't getting in the way, yet... but knowing from a previous pregnancy, butterfly style (similar to missionary but your put your legs on his shoulders), or getting close to the edge of the bed with him standing and holding my legs up. Thrusting is awesome on that because he has so much more room :)

  • we've tried all the ones mentioned and he also holds me up against the wall in the shower (you know like straddling his waist) ... I feel like I weigh waaay too much for him to be holding me up but he doesn't seem phased by it so I relax and enjoy.
