sex?

Anyone else still having an active sex life? I'm 35 weeks tuesday.

We were told to stop at 36 weeks due to scheduled c section at 39 weeks....

JessicaS0914 · August 2015

Not sure why you'd have to stop 3 weeks before a c....... But I attempted it this morning. Between the belly in the way and lots of vaginal swelling, it just wasn't happening. DH had to settle for my hand.

Hmmmm
......What is this SEX you speak of???;)

I hadn't in a few weeks and actually had very enjoyable time in Niagara falls this week. I was on top so I could breathe :x

37 weeks and last night was great! I thought it was going to be more difficult but we were both really anxious so we were open about resting, changing positions, needing more lube, taking a break and being handsy ect. It was actually really intimate to be so open and a little silly.

I also have a scheduled C at 39 weeks and my doctor hasn't mentioned with holding sex, thankfully.

babs02 · August 2015

I've been so uncomfortable lately I can't even think about it. Even laying down hurts... I feel bad for DH but he is understanding

AmandaNacora · August 2015

No

husband finally decided that it's too weird and awkward with my belly. I haven't pushed for it since I'm not really feeling it either anymore. He thinks we can go back to having sex almost right away, I told him he's crazy and he has a lot longer than a month to wait! He's pretty disappointed about that haha.

Atlasmom · August 2015

We tried last night and it was very difficult. SO says he is not trying again until after baby. I don't blame him!

JessicaS0914 · August 2015

I wanted to add on not to knock until you've tried, though!! It's not working this time around, but last time, DH got a little morning delight on my due date b/c I wasn't feeling anything, I sent him to work, the. Called him home 2 hours later and we had a baby that night!

carlyamc · August 2015

DH & I are still having sex on a pretty consistent basis. I am 36 weeks and the past few times have felt different because of increased pressure and some swelling but I still enjoy it. I'm not going to stop until I am told to!

amp61470 · August 2015

We went over a month then last week three times but it's awkward at best. We had great sex throughout our relationship and now it's just weird. I still want it but then when we do it's uncomfortable. I am almost 36 weeks measuring 40 so my belly is HUGE!

ktbkitten · August 2015

Ours has slowed down, but when it does happen it's usually more than once. I have no idea how this is working out...I need extra attention before we get started. I have had some really bad lightening pain down there and sometimes it's just too bad to even think about sex, but that is normally only when I've been really active all day.

cuphalffull · August 2015

We have been pretty regular as well, DH seems to really be going nuts, maybe trying to get it in before the 6 week no go time

It does help me feel better about myself that he is still attracted to me! (Though if it gets ackward I understand to)

abchrist1 · August 2015

Yesterday was 35 weeks. All I want to do is have sex. Husband is all about it. But I also have a scheduled c, now I'm worried my Dr is going to say no sex at my appointment next week.

ElleMF728 · August 2015

We were active until the day before I gave birth both times around.

mdennis123 · August 2015

My hubby and I have sex every week. Yes it's a little uncomfortable but we are still enjoying it. With my other two pregnancies we had sex up until both were delivered.

chelseajeanene · August 2015

Ha! I wish.

meggipi5 · August 2015

Nope. At my 36 week appointment, I was dilated 3cm and the doctor said not to encourage labor since it was still too early. We might try to go for it next weekend for one more romp before baby.

because they told us that having the big 'o's can cause contractions., and put you into labor.

jen83mn · August 2015

Nope! Last time we tried a month ago was really painful so we gave up ... hasn't felt good since the beginning of second tri. But I've noticed I had a super sensitive cervix and everything is just more sensitive down there these days. I just had my 36-week appointment and was dilated 2 cm ... we're both counting down the days until we have baby and I'm healed and we can get back to our normal sex lives!

str13 · August 2015

I started spotting a while back and my OB asked the last time I had sex. I laughed and apologized, "I really have no idea! My poor husband!"

bethanyjane26 · August 2015

Hahahaha. I miss sex. My SO told me he was scared to cum on our child. -_- really?? I agree that's a gross thought but!!! We've done it a ton since I've been pregnant. Just these past 3 weeks it's come to a screeching holt.. Hello?? Our child has been in there this whole time!!!

jmacd22 · August 2015

I'm 36 weeks and still at it and have a scheduled c-section at 39 wks but my doctor hasn't said anything about stopping.

babyplut · August 2015

We are still on a regular basis, usually everyday. Sometimes I'm sore but I know how it's feels to be shut down and I will take it while I can get it because 6 weeks is a long time!

Knottie00400192 · August 2015

Once per week maybe twice however, we've stopped since my Friday appointment once I was told by my ob that I've dilated 1 cm and she can feel top of baby's head!

Taekarate1978 · August 2015

I let him when he wants to, but sometimes it is so uncomfortable that the whole time I'm just wishing he would hurry up and finish...lol...I'm a lucky woman, he isn't a quickie kind of guy. I can't wait until I'm more comfortable and will actually enjoy it again.

bumptink · August 2015

We are down to about once per week-- not nearly enough for us, but DH is freaked out by the idea. Last night we did doggie-style and it was the most comfortable position we've tried in a while! The belly didn't get in the way, and it wasn't in view either so I felt sexy!

Growingapepper · August 2015

I'm 35 weeks and we barely ever have sex. Maybe once every two weeks. I haven't been able to have an orgasm either

it hurts my stomach muscles wayyyy too bad, it's so painful. Not to mention I haven't been in the mood for it at all for a few months. I don't want to do it again until I hit 27 weeks because I just started feeling paranoid about preterm labor, and then I'm just gonna let hubby do his thing to try and ripen the cervix. I can't wait until sex actually sounds enjoyable again.

beansideirae · August 2015

we are down to like once a month, but still doing it whenever I feel up to it. I've been too uncomfortable to do it often, but the other evening I was in the mood. then I started having contractions that night! they went away tho, and I'm 37w so no biggie

I was literally just about to write something like this! Doggy is our go to most of the time before pregnancy anyway. But now since I have a belly. It's the only way.. Lol I'd recommend using a softer(feathered,idky it just works better then any other) pillow and put it under your belly, like between ur thighs and belly. And if ur pillow is big enough then obviously between ur belly and bed too if it reaches. But I agree that since ur in doggy position, and it's kinda out of sigh it does make me feel sexier. And get lost during that time.

I think it really is important to try to relax mentally and physically as much as you can. If your tense or over thinking its def going to hurt or be uncomfortable. GL!

jbettles · August 2015

Hubby gets up before me on weekends n generally lets me sleep in, since I haven't been sleeping well. He just informed me that he came up to our bedroom about an hour ago feeling "frisky" but I was still fast asleep. Guess he's not in the mood now, lol! Can't decide if I wish he would've woke me up anyway or if I'm glad he let me sleep.... It's been awhile since we had true, traditional intercourse, but we are pretty sexual otherwise. He knows I prefer to just cuddle, be kissed on, and get a nice back rub, and I know that he's happy so long as I don't completely ignore his "little buddy" lol!!!

surprisepkg31 · August 2015

I think I've had sex 3 times in 8 months! It's terrible but it hasn't felt good at all, it's so sore inside and I just feel super tense the whole time. I don't know how you ladies push through with lightning crotch and all the issues at hand. It's not fair! I'm so fed up with all the restrictions of being pregnant!!! I suppose I need to powered through here again soon as time is running out thank goodness! Cant wait not to waddle!

dmland17 · August 2015

I'm in my 37th week and we still are doing it once or twice a week. Sometimes it takes some creativity with positions, but it's usually pretty good and I enjoy the intimacy and that my husband still finds me attractive this far into it. With things getting closer, we're trying to do it a little more because 6 weeks sounds like such a long time to go without it!
