Painful sex

[RudyMall]

I'm 19 weeks pregnant and every time my husband and I have sex it feels as though the entrance to my vagina is raw. We're using lube but it still feels painful, like there's too much friction. Does anyone have any suggestions or know if this is normal? I'm not itchy, or sore at other times so I don't think it's thrush.

I think I might have the answer. That also happens to me I was a bit embarrassed to as my obgyn specially because he is a male doctor but I just couldn't take it anymore. He said it only happens to 25% of pregnant women. He said it was do to thinning of the cervix. He recommended me YK lub original. He specifically said original. And that did the trick for me

I don't have answer for you ladies as to why it's happening but I am experiencing the same thing at 33 weeks and what we have decided to do is try different positions. Trying from behind was entirely too painful but the pain eased up a but once we tried missionary. The absolute pain free way that I have discovered is with me on top. I believe it opens the canal up as much as possible and is the reason why there is no pain experienced

I had sex for the first time in four months since falling pregnant with my fiance last night. I really wanted to please him and I missed the feeling seeing as it had been that long since we last did it. I felt lubricated but there was still that little bit of tension when he entered and it made me feel uncomfortable.  I felt bad coz I asked him to stop after a few minutes. I was worried he might think I'm not into him anymore or that I'm thinking of other things while we're doing it. Does it get better after giving birth though? I'm 35 weeks

We've been using 'conceive plus' lube because I figured it'd be safe in pregnancy if it's safe when you're trying to conceive.

yeh same er n im 22wks... even with loads of foreplay it still really hurts... I think it mite b because change in hormones n everything gets more sensitive. I didnt think lube was safe during pregnancy?  x

I'm 23 wks and just now feeling that way. Don't remember feeling that in previous pregnancies so I'm unsure of relief myself at this point. I posted on the same issue the other day.
