uncomfortable sex

[Roz1977]

Hey girls! besides not wanting to be touched, i am almost in my 4th month of pregnancy (1st pregnancy) and finding that the last time i had sex it was uncomfortable....it hurt slightly and felt like something was hitting my side. Im just wondering this is only my 4th month will it just worse from here on? or are some times better than others. thank you!

I always feel this way too.  It begins to hurt and even sometimes would burn afterwards.  Plus I get lots of yeast infections when I am pregnant and sex doesn't help that.  I seem to be allergic to my husband when I am pregnant.  LOL!  And for me, it does get more uncomfortable the further along I get.  It seems like I need a crane just to turn me towards my husband so we can do the deed!!  LOL!

Totally normal.... we've only done it like 3 times the entire time I've been pregnant because it's just plain uncomfortable. DH has been incredibly understanding and I feel lucky for that. There will be times when you feel in the mood - sometimes it'll hit you really fast and you'll want to race home - but most of the time you'll probably want to opt out, or you'll just be way too tired. And that's okay; don't feel guilty about it. The only way it "gets worse" during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters is that it gets harder for you to move around. When your back starts aching as your belly grows, any position can be uncomfortable. Even switching positions takes a lot of energy. Plus sometimes if the baby starts squirming/moving around it can be awkward/uncomfortable. Additionally, when you O it often stimulates cramps and BH, which are not necessarily dangerous or anything but can be painful & uncomfortable. All that being said, strike when the iron is hot... and the other times, just relax and take it easy, and spend quality/romantic time with your guy in other ways! :)

im in my 4th month as well and i feel the same way. i think a bit of my problem is that its a bit painful so we go for days w/o having sex and then when we do, it seems to make it that much more painful. trying different positions works every now and then too!

get good foreplay, try diff positions, we enjoy spooning with him behind you, or the ever famous doggy and you can arch your back up on all 4's or put head down to adj sensation...and lady on top is always good because you are in control. Sex is a great stress reliever when preggers, It will feel better soon, and you will wear him out, trust. It does get better.

i have to say i went through a time when i didnt want to have sex but i now seem to be more into as i'm coming to the end of my pregnancy ( i'm 35 weeks 3 days).

no matter what dont worry about it your partner should understand if it's uncomfortable.
