probs too much info

Hey, this is a little awkward so I'm just going to dive straight in... I know you ladies are all lovely anyway! So, I've always had a high sex drive, I also seem to attract men that don't! My partner & I have sex once a week if I'm lucky & even then it's over pretty quickly. I'm 18weeks pregnant with our first baby together (I already have a 6 year old) & we're delighted. Thing is, my sex drive is even higher now than ever... is it ok to masturbate? I mean... I find myself doing it almost every day, cause I know I'm just not going to get any any time soon. I find my partner so sexually attractive, so I always think of him, I'm just worried that orgasm will cause either early labour or harm the baby in some way. I hope someone can help. I'm not sure what to do.xx

I seemed to be more randy at certain times throughout this pregnancy, but because of previous miscarriage my partner was very wary of having sex so i had to see to myself a lot lol. We have had sex a few times throughout and theres been no problems. Its just a bit uncomfortable when you orgasm due to the tightenings in your uterus. The bigger you get the more uncomfy it is lol

I'm sure it's fine. With my last pregnancy my hubby was on delpoyment so it was that or nothing for me.

It is completely fine :) play away lol. I did it with my first like everyday because regular sex was sorta painful. Luckily it feels amazing this time and hubby is loving it lol. You will feel kinda like cramping or your stomach tightening up afterwards but that is just your uterus contracting and it is normal. Your doc would even tell you it is ok.
