Let's talk about sex baby

Jenly17 · February 2016

Cue salt n pepa.

I'm getting bored (and probably H too!) of the same position over and over again. Being on top feels like too much work, missionary obviously doesn't happen right now, and doggy style is getting boring! What positions are working for you at this stage in the pregnancy?

kp90 · February 2016

I lay on my left side with him behind me. Seems to work and yet I still manage to be comfortable. If we do missionary I try to prop myself up on a pillow or two or just don't stay in that position long.

At least you are having sex. We haven't had sex since Christmas.

Ditto. I was sick as a dog with pneumonia/sinus infection all of Jan. and fractured a rib. I have no interest whatsoever.

Standing with one leg on a chair, him behind. This one may not work if height is way off.

Laying on on edge of the bed with a pillow wedged under hips to lift them slightly, he stands or kneels depending on height of bed. He can even lift your hips up more with his arms.

Reverse cowgirl seems to make it easier to balance some of the baby belly. he could be laying down or sitting upright in a chair for this.

Oral sex when all else fails. Fun times lol

The spooning position seams to work well and not to much work for you!
Speaking about getting down. The 1st and 2nd tri I had a great increased sex drive. Now it's declined significantly but when I am in the mood I can't seam to climax. I try to get intimate once or twice a week but it usually gets too uncomfortable and if it's not that then I just can't climax. I'm sure this is normal but if anyone has ideas I'm open to suggestions!

Same. Well, actually maybe it was November...

Merciel · February 2016

+1 for hips off the side of the bed, man kneeling/standing at side of bed. It's basically a modified missionary that gets the belly out of the way.

I don't like spoon myself, but it seems to work well for a lot of women.

And yeah, oral.

Mine has decreased also I think for the simple fact that its hard to get comfortable and half the time I feel super disgusting but I still make an effort for my SO. I will be glad to have our old sex life back! well.. you know.. when we get time in between feeding and tending to our LO!

sarawifenow · February 2016

We also use the spooning technique. Doggie is a go too as well as me laying on my back with a pillow under my head and my legs on H's shoulders while he kneels in front of me.

Its not that I don't want to. HE doesn't want to. I think the fact there is a baby in there freaks him out. And TMI but he thinks I smell different (which I am sure I do but is it really that noticeable??). We tend to go through swings, and aren't highly sexual (once a week is fine by me) so this isn't too too bad. Just sucks that we lost that connection, and I hope that after baby is here we can get it back. Or she will definitely be an only child!

LadySamLady · February 2016

I can't last too long on top these days but have found that pillows are our friend for making missionary work. Prop one or two under your hips/bum and you're good to go.

Soontobejones33 · February 2016

We just done it! My sex drive came roaring back recently. Yay but boo at the same time because my husband is feeling like "I don't want to hurt her". Dont worry dear i'd tell you.
We did missionary. Just propped up my left side and he never leaned on me completely. One side was always up. I'm open to from behind and if that doesn't work I've got a book with 365 positions to pick from.

dshannah · February 2016

Doggy style with me on the bed and him standing (ditto on hips-off-the-bed missionary) but also a lot of stand-up sex (me sitting on the dresser or standing but leaning on the dresser for support).

This really feels like TMI... But I guess if I'm going to steal the ideas you lovely ladies have offered, I should share what works for us...

mrstmoose · February 2016

Damn you pelvic rest. I'm crossing my fingers we get the go ahead at the next OB appointment.

Jenly17 · February 2016

Great ideas! I really thought missionary was done for us, but I'm definitely going to try pillows/hips off the bed, etc

lalala2004 · February 2016

I wish I was having it enough to get sick of anything

Not for lack of trying. I think DH is having trouble with being afraid he's going to hurt something.

gamommyx3 · February 2016

I'm taking notes from this thread. Literal notes.

Bltbear82 · February 2016

Another vote for hips propped up or at the end of the bed. The snoogle is actually kind of perfect for propping up.

kbrands7 · February 2016

Doggie style, reverse cowgirl, him standing/me sitting on something tall like a counter or laundry machine, a spooning scissors sort of combo (straight up spooning is awkward because of our height difference).

nerdymama15 · February 2016

DH and I are not that coordinated. We have attempted other positions, but the only two that have ever worked for us are missionary and on top. I'm convinced that positions other than that are only successfully done by much skinnier people. Now you can spice it up and not even have intercourse. You can get each other off which can be fun with lots of role playing, whips, cuffs, ball gags, restraints, blindfolds, and other phallic shaped toys. I'm not trying to give TMI, we are not freaks, it's just fun to accessorize sometimes. It adds some spice and triggers more your senses. We bought a 10 dollar set at Spencers (which is in most malls) that had a whip, cuffs, and blindfold in it. It was more of a novelty set than anything else. I mean the whip snapped in half and NOT from overuse lol

Merciel · February 2016

You know, I like to think I'm in pretty good shape and have reasonably strong thighs, but there is no way RCG sounds fun right now. I am a little bit in awe of you ladies who have the strength to do it.

cortney626 · February 2016

We have sex on average twice a week. What works for us is when I'm kind of lying on my side/back, he enters from behind then I spread my legs and he grabs one leg. OMG heaven pregnancy sex! Then DH may get on top or I will. But me on top is getting tougher.

Yes! This sounds like the spoon/scissors thing we do. It's pretty amazing.

laurenmdrn16 · February 2016

I second (or third?) the scissor/spoon position. Also doggy style and me on my back on the edge of the bed with MH standing and my legs up around his neck. Pillows are key! Also lots of oral, toys, manual stimulation. I love reverse cowgirl with MH sitting on the couch because I can control how deep he goes (things have been quite a bit more sensitive as of late and MH is...ummm...not small). Just so you know, neither of us are thin by any definition so we usually don't go for belly to belly positions anyways. TMI but we did it 4 1/2 times this weekend (our Sunday morning session was cut short by our inquisitive son who is quiet like a ninja!). To say I am sore is quite an understatement. So be careful ladies and don't overdo it!

sillyfox · February 2016

We do spoon, doggy, missionary with pillows, and me on my side but him on his knees from sort of behind me, like missionary but I'm in spoon position if that makes sense

laurenmdrn16 · February 2016

Also we should make a master list of things to NEVER Google. "Pregnancy sex positions" should definitely be on the list.

JoMunson · February 2016

We mostly do doggy, but that's always been a favorite position for us. Sex is a little trickier these days so we do it much more rarely (a combination of my changing body kind of freaking out DH and me being ULTRA sensitive downstairs).

jenl1681 · February 2016

Just reading this thread and thinking about having to support the weight of my own legs is making me tired. We usually do the spooning/making a T thing.

gampster · February 2016

We did reverse cowgirl on valentines day and not again! I couldn't see his face so couldn't judge his progress and things ended way too fast

gorgeousariel · February 2016

When we decided to TTC I wanted to add something new so I got sex dice. It has a great way to get intimate with each other but not forcing sex. Of course you can take it further but if SO is afraid of hurting LO than this is a great solution.

baby-2-due · February 2016

We just started DTD again like two weeks ago. I was only doing missionary, which was fine but sex hurts for me and I've found that doggy styles is the most comfortable for me. I feel like he is getting bored, but cowgirl and reverse are too painful for me. It sucks, because I love DTD and usually have a high sex drive. SO says I went from doing it like a porn star to being like a nun... Idk how accurate he is with that lol but I feel bad for him so I've been trying to be more open with positions, I just can't stay comfortable for very long so I'll have to try some of these standing positions.

I agree. We haven't had sex since Christmas either...

AdorkablePixie · February 2016

I also lay on the edge of The bed with my hips/legs off. I usually just hold my legs up, that way o can move my pelvis in the position that feels best. DH stands there and bends over to play with my BBs and bam. Most amazing sex I've ever had. It's both of our favorite position. Maybe I should use a pillow? But I haven't. I don't usually have any issues. I finish this way pretty much every time and relatively quickly. Sorry for the TMI but I swear by this position.

I do want to try the one on my side with him holding my leg up though, that sounds amazing!!

I completely know what you meant, but my pregnant brain was super confused at first and I actually was about to Urban Dictionary "edge of Thebes" to see if it was some awesome position I have been missing out on. And now I can't stop laughing at myself!

LOL! Thank you for the laugh. I went back and edited it. haha And I thought I proofread pretty well.

Knottie64278661 · February 2016

Merciel I totally agree. I never liked/could do RCG when I was in better shape and now the thought of it is scary!

We do me on top and doggie style. I'm getting bored with these as well so I'm really looking forward to when we get rid of our box spring this weekend to make our bed lower and try the position with me on the edge and him standing. Right now our bed is way too high and I'm so sick of feeling like an upside down turtle whenever I have to get up to pee 4 times a night!

Merciel · February 2016

Oh I actually meant to come back to this thread and retract my negative comment w/r/t RCG.

Basically my confusion arose from the fact that I used to do it with my legs positioned differently and I think the version people were talking about in this thread is the one where you're kneeling over your partner and aren't bouncing up/down nearly as high. That version is actually really easy to do while pregnant and not physically challenging at all.

So, my bad, the people who recommended that position were right and I was wrong (or was at least misunderstanding what they meant).

Charla1224 · February 2016

Ok. Jumping off a sexual comfort zone ledge with you guys and I only feel slightly comfortable saying this because Jenny McCarthy said something similar in Belly Laughs so I don't feel 100% alone.
At first I thought my sex drive had vanished because I have a low desire to DTD with DH since becoming pregnant. But I was confused because my dreams have been WILD. Basically I've become a huge fan of "self care." I have a high desire to reach the O but a low desire to be touched by anyone (other than myself). I feel a little bad for DH though.

Ditto here. I can usually get into it with DH once things get going but for the most part I'm not in the mood and when we DTD I end up sore and raw for a few days which is very uncomfortable and weird. We go at it once a week at the moment, sometimes twice. For the rest of the time when I am in the 'Big O' mood but really just want to be alone I have a very trusty vibrator. Its not a big ugly schlong either . . . I find those tacky for some reason. Also its water proof so hello bath time! The downfall is that I forget to charge it sometimes . . . It died the other day just when things were getting really good.
