ahem....Dryness problem..? for 2nd timers

smittysoup · February 2010

Since being pregnant, and especially in third tri, I seem to be having issues making my own ..lubrication... during sexy times. It sucks because I am definitely leaking all other times, and this is not a problem I had before being pg.

Please tell me this goes away after birth

hmm well no one is reading or responding to this, so I guess I'm the only one with this issue!

How embarrassing! Embarrassed

This is my first and when we really take the time I get pretty lubricated on my own but it just doesn't feel like enough for me so we use lube. I have heard that in the beginning of being able to have sex again you will need LOTS of lube but I am hoping as well it will go back to normal which I am sure it does.

smittysoup · February 2010

Thanks for responding anabell, I feel less like a freak now lol

I have never even bought lube before in 9 years with my dh. I guess I need to find one of those places to buy it online where they ship it in plain wrapping and stock up (I'm a huge wuss about buying stuff like that in the store)!

Unfortunately, the dryness hung around till DS1 weaned at 15 months. I still did have issues with dryness after that, but not as bad. We still used lube after I was done bf though because I didn't make as much of it on my own. Pregnancy and childbirth take a toll on your body, however, these little tiny humans are 100% worth it!

We have always had to use lube so from my experience KY sucks big time. Leaves you sticky and just doesn't cut it also it would make me burn the majority of the time! We have been using Astroglide and it is much better! No burning. Most of the time I tell dh you want some booty you go buy it. Small price to pay for him Stick out tongue

. Seriously though the cashiers don't give two craps. If they do and want to tell their buddies eh so be it! lol

It's a big no-no for cashiers to say anything about what about what you are buying when it comes to pregnancy/sex stuff. My DH used to work in a grocery store and he said they could get in big trouble if they made a comment to the customer.

No grocery store casheir has ever said anything to me, but I'll never forget when I bought my pregnancy tests at rite-aid and the cashier said "let me just double bag those for you, so no one can see what you're up to". uhhh...okey dokey

I can never go and buy things like this, either. I used to be a cashier at a grocery store nd I would totally giggle (I was 15/16) after the customer left. I send Nate to get anything.

I distinctly remember (this was like 6 years ago...) a man who bought condoms AND a pregnancy test.

LOL this makes me wonder if he had two women in his life, or if he was determined not to get in that situation again! I would have been unable to keep a straight face with that one.

It was so hard. I think I looked down and bagged as quickly as I could manage. As soon as he cleared my cash, I burst out laughing.

I don't ever go to the store to only buy these items. I always put it on the grocery list & just put it in with the other items so it just gets scaned through. Embarrassed

breseezgrl · February 2010

Oy! I can sympathize. I asked the MW why there seems to be all sorts of discharge when I DON'T want it and NOTHING when I do. She just kind of shrugged and said, "yeah, it sucks."

It's all about the lube from here on out. The dryness will likely remain if you BF. I never really got back to my 'norm,' but I nursed for a loooooong time (let's just say, I weaned and found out I was PG in the same month).

tvg1977 · February 2010

Yep, I'm there too ladies. And I have never had a problem like this before. I think DH is kind of taking it personally, like it's his fault or something. Lube insults him, I think. We need to have a heart-to-heart chat about hormones and the need for some extra help, I think.

urbanwifey · February 2010

SO SO SO DRY!!!

I actually have mild bleeding/tissue loss after our 'attempts'. (Cause sometimes they aren't successful.)
