3rd trimester sex quandries

Shananagann · August 2014

Okay.. I've been scouring the discussions for anyone that has already started a conversation about sex concerns during the 3rd trimester.

DH & I finally DTD tonight after an over 2 week hiatus (tho I was still giving him some other 'attention' at least once a week since). I gotta admit, it felt good, but I was a little tighter than usual so I felt swollen after and it kinda burned. When I got up to go to the bathroom (I'll apologize now for the TMI) I felt like I had to nearly rush to the toilet, because it felt like I had more than a trickle about to come down between my legs. It got me a bit worried.

I've had a totally normal pregnancy, absolutely no concerns. Passed every test, lots of baby movement, etcetera, but a tiny part of me is worried about having sex and accidentally breaking my water and starting early labor.

Anyone else having fun/weird sex stories/concerns?

I'm so over everyone having sex!!!

Sex doesn't make you go into labor unless your body is already ready for labor, due to the uterine contractions that happen during orgasm. With DS I tried it at least twice a day from 37-39 weeks, it did nothing and I was induced at 39 weeks.

It's been a while since we have had sex. My baby likes to nestle in my pelvis, so I always feel a lot of pressure dopenetration.re and it makes sex a little uncomfortable.

You aren't going to hurt the baby or induce a premature labor by having sex unless your body is already on it's way down that road, and if your appointments and tests and scans show no indication of issues, then you are probably okay.

If you are doing new or less utilized positions, the tightness and burning could potentially be from the difference in angle of penetration. Or an infection of some sort, who knows.

And that feeling of liquid rushijg is probably sperm with nowhere to go. Sex is messy, especially when pregnant.

In order for me to answer your question, I need to know a few things about you:

1: Are you Catholic?

2: Have you noticed that your vagina angle has changed?

3: Are you open to naming your child, Lemon?

If sex was dangerous or could induce early labor, methinks the doctors would tell us to refrain?

Burning and a serious urge to pee reminds me of a UTI

This. All of this! I read this thread early this morning and had to resist everything inside me to respond.

OP I understand being worried but unless you are on pelvic rest you are most likely fine. I tried with both my girls to get things "going" with sex and nothing happened until both babies were ready.

From the response I've gotten I guess I sounded more worried than I intended. Mostly I was just curious about others experiences. Kinda like anyone else on this board, just looking for kindred spirits. I'm a FTM and it's all new to me.

(BTW: anyone care to explain the humor behind those 3 questions? I'm more confused than amused, but probably because I'm naive. Sorry.)

I am legitimately confused by this response.

I get being nervous. If you aren't on pelvic rest or bed rest it should not be a problem though. We haven't really been doing it all that much lately but I remember when we did I felt like there was a lot coming out when I stood up too. I chalked it up to the cervix bring closed so all the semen comes out instead of swimming upwards no idea if that's true but that's how I made myself feel better.

Fair enough! Works for me lol

Truth! Thanks for actually having a relatively helpful response. Not worried as much as inexperienced. Thanks for your feedback!

It's a good thing you're having a boy so you don't have to worry about getting your unborn daughter pregnant

What a ridiculous response.

@Shananagann‌ I'll explain the humour, because I'm still awake. These are all in response to real questions we've had on the board recently.

There was a Facebook-addict who joined just to overshare that she had hour-long, sorta rough sex sessions at least three times a day (whilst ignoring her existing children). But she said it was okay because she was Catholic.

Then there was the woman who announced that the angle of her vagina has changed recently and wanted to know if we shared the same predicament.

"Lemon" is what we think everyone should name their child, but only because 'Cakeleigh' is now copyrighted.This came about after toooooo many 'name my baby' threads.

And finally, some highly educated women believe their unborn baby girl might get pregnant if mommy has too much sperm inside of her.

None of this was mean- spirited. We just get realllllly excited when a sex thread is started because it usually results in a series of spit-take worthy
gifs.

I recognize your username, so I know you're around sometimes. Stick around and you'll learn all the jokes and be able to participate in the next 'help! Too much secks' thread.

OP, please don't take offense. Some of the ladies were having fun. That is all. @minibean16‌ did a fantastic job of explaining our last few sex threads. They have been amusing. I think the ladies were joking with you, assuming you understood the inside joke. Your screen name is recognizable, and I would have pegged you for a regular. (please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, ladies!)

Anyways, as far as the sex stuff... Ummmmm,I got nothing. Sex has been out the window for quite a few months now. DH is freaked out by sex during pregnancy, and I am just never in the mood. Sad, as I was told pregnancy sex is aaaaaamazing.

dbgwife · August 2014

@Shananagann‌ yes please don't take offense! I may not have recognized you because I'm typically always mobile. The last maybe two weeks ave been kinda crazy for this board. There have been quite a few interesting sex questions. That is where my response was coming from!
