DH told me the other night that he doesn't want to have sex again until the baby is born. He said that he is scared of hurting LO. I told him it wouldn't hurt her and that I have 10 weeks until EDD then another 6 weeks before it is okay to have sex again. I said "That is 4 months to wait". Honestly I have no clue how long it has been since we have done it. For like 2 months we were working opposite shifts at work and so I never got to see him except on the weekends.
If the actual act of sex would go quicker for him, I would probably do it more often. I don't like how my belly moves all over the place during sex now... all I can think about is how we are shaking LO up in there.
"Dear Lord, I would have loved to
have held my babies on my lap and tell them
about You, but since I didn't get the chance,
would You please hold them on Your lap
and tell them about me?

Definitely doggy! No weight on my abdomen so no discomfort and no bellies (mine or dh's) in the way visually. I have no bought any lingerie for pregnancy but I do have babydoll dresses that make me feel sexy- as do heels..
Ha. What sex? I did let him give it to me from behind last night, but that's because I fail at wifely duties and he caught on to my baby kicking scheme. If we even have sex (it's literally happened no more than 5 times since I got KU), it's doggy. My belly gets in the way on top and if I'm on my back, my limbs go numb.

Lol I feel like the naughty dirty pregnant woman compared to all you guys who just aren't feeling it. I've never been so horny in my entire life lol. ;;) spooning is probably my favorite these days. The only position that has gotten uncomfortable is being on my stomach. Other then that we still at least attempt them all. :P I have noticed though that for some reason it takes me longer to orgasm now that I'm pregnant! No idea why.
Soooo much preggo lingerie!!! I'm a total lingerie hoarder anyway, so this was just another excuse to buy more!! I'm so delighted by all the beautiful options out there. I'm still finding I can do most positions - I haven't hit that point where lying on my back is uncomfortable - but, that said I can't be on top. The penetration is WAY too deep now - or I'm way too sensitive - or some combination thereof. I did manage to do it laying on my stomach the other day, but it required an architectural feat of pillows! Mmmm...so worth it though! ">
Doggy all the way. I prop myself up with pillows to help my hands and knees. Plus it helps to keep my boobs from swinging to hard or my belly from getting too crushed.
Or I lay on my side with FI kneeling behind me. I can't do on top because moving my hips like that causes crazy cramps and missionary we can pull off for a minute or two.
Also couch sex is pretty awesome. It's like modified missionary with your butt hanging ofg and him kneeling on the floor.

Doggy and me on top. I got some this morning after a three week hiatus. I am less horny than I was during second tri, but I gave in because the pregnancy orgasms are so much stronger than pre-preg!!
Couch sex (modified missionary) or spooning. Not into doggy and I just feel a weird pressure when I'm on top. I wish I was into it like some of you girls though!
I have been on pelvic rest for 3 months and have been so horny. I am hoping the pelvic rest will be lifted at 32 weeks, dr said it might be. I will have to keep all these positions in mind!
Married 11/23/11, TTC starting 10/12, BFP#1 11/30/12, Adoption of stepson finalized 03/19/13,Loss of our daughter at 20w4d due to incompetent cervix 03/27/13, BFP#2 06/28/13, DS2 born 3/1/14.
My pelvis has been aching in pain for weeks so moving around into different positions is quite uncomfortable. We've been doing it while I'm laying down on my back facing the edge of the bed and he stands, doing all the work poor guy, lol. But getting up hurts so icredibly much from the shifting of the weight and I sometimes have striking pains. Doggy has always been a little uncomfortable but I think we'll try it again. I can't wait to be done with pregnancy so we can get back into doing some naughty things! lol ">
im impressed, my poor DH. Last time I was on top and it worked OK, its hard for me to finish now though. Really sucks. I think we both get in our own heads way too much. Maybe doggie style will work that way we aren't looking at my belly....
Me on top is the only way we have had success. Although my orgasms are not as strong which isn't much fun. DH is lucky if we have sex once a week it's more like every two.
I am WAY more into it than he is lately. I LOVE being on top, and shower sex from behind is AMAZING! Spooning isn't great for me, and he hasn't really even tried missionary in a while. I would do it every day if I could! He likes when I'm on top too, so it's a win-win!
I'm with the "what's sex" crowd. According to DH we've only had sex twice since I've gotten pregnant. I feel bad for him but early on when I wanted it, he was never around because he was really busy with work in the Fall. Now I just feel huge and we just haven't attempted to go there in a couple months.
Last time we did it was october... and its not happening any time soon! I had some problems with bleeding and we are both freaked out a little (lot). He's willing to wait. ... a long time I guess! He's the best though, I get upset about not satisfying him but he's just fine.
I like spooning position the best. Doggy comes in second place but I get tired of my belly hanging after awhile. I'm going to suggest the modified missionary position next time because I really miss missionary.
Where are you ladies getting prego lingerie? We are still pretty active, with me being on top for the most part. Doggy is so uncomfortable for me, I feel like I'm stretching the baby out, possibly out of downward dog yoga habits.
Our "go to" is me on top facing him but my belly is starting to smother him. I usually just stay on top but turn away from him. Doggy is good too, but I don't orgasm from it so it's not used very often. Honestly though foreplay is my favorite at this point. No belly in the way and it feels amazing. I've actually been surprised that my DH hasn't been freaked out by the belly yet.
@katieblue I like the FigLeaves website because they carry lots of different brands (HotMilk, Elle McPhearson, etc...). Also the HotMilk website, because I LOVE their stuff. I've, on occasion found some of HotMilk's stuff of Zulilly...whoo-hoo for sales!!
Sex? Ha! Last time was when this LO was concieved. Hubby to nervous with previous miscarriages even though we both logically know it won't hurt. Although I am getting really antsy and just want to have sex. I can take care of myself but there's nothing like sex
You're not alone!!! We have once very early on then I was placed on pelvic rest due to bleeding. I was on that for a long time. Once I got off we tried but I was large and uncomfortable and could feel the babies moving and it was awkward for me! And we again can't now! Twice the whole pregnancy....yikes!!!!!
Doggy is easiest, but others are still doable for the time being. Dh can't/won't touch the boobs though...colostrum started coming out of both the other night. Needless to say, it was definitely a mood killer!
Eta: most of the time though, I'd rather just take care of myself.
I think we may have done it a total of three times since our BFP. Last pregnancy I was really into it- but this time- not so much. Although- I'm beginning to feel like I could the last couple of weeks but I think DH just thinks its completely out if the question or he isn't into it too. Not sure. But those three times- I've been on top. We do doggy if DH needs to finish but I never orgasm that way either. Why is that?!?!?
