sex

So I'm 21 weeks and very low sex drive my husband is not happy! But every time we have sex I seem to get a mild infection. Its a little discharge and my pee smells. I think it could be his sperm. Is it normal to have a reaction to sex while prego??

Well love that normal when your pregnant not because of the sex.And to have a low sex drive is too.I understand I don't want to be touch at all in the 4 1/2 month my husband and I only had sex twice.Even thou I didn't want it. So lately we both been busy trying to get this together so I am happy with the no touching well the sex part.But don't worry love what is happen is normal. are you having a girl?

I get the same thing, I usually get a bacterial infection (vaganosis) and it sux I'm 30 weeks along and I've had it 4 or 5 times throughout this pregnancy.  I've had it so much I know when I get it! Plus my see drive stinks too. I'm so swollen down there when I get aroused j can't climaxe. Of course hubby doesn't understand! But my advice is call your doc and get in. Any kind of infection can cause preterm labor and don't be embarrassed it's their jobs to help!  AND DO NOT DOUCHE!

Do NOT douche! It's not recommended when you are not pregnant! Sweety just talk to your husband and hopefully he understands. I have the same problem but I talked to my man and he finally understood. But no....DO NOT douche. that is NOT good advice. Just look at information from livestrong, baby center, or even medhelp and it goes in details how touching can cause problems especially during pregnancy

No don't douche. It can introduce air bubbles and bacteria into your birth canal. Douching is dangerous when pregnant

You could douche yourself with apple cider vinegar after sex. It will kill bacteria and help balance the pH level of the vag. Just use like a syringe of raw apple cider vinegar.
