Uncomfortable sex

Okay so I see a lot of women talk about how their sex drive lowers during their pregnancy and all, but what about pain during sex? To be honest, my sex drive hasn't been lowered at all even now at 31 weeks which I was surprised! I feel so big and clumsy but somehow I'm still just as horny all the time lol But for a long time now when me and my fiance have sex and I'm on top, I get this sharp pain in my right side after a few minutes.

I'm not really worried about it, I assume it's just round ligament pain or the effect of all the stretching going on with the baby growing, but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this at all?

this is exactly what happens to me even if I don't have sex! It happens to me thru out the day! It's on my right side also! It gets to the point where I can't walk & wen I get it during sex I have to stop because it's just so painful! I'm so glad I'm not the only one

Thank you ladies! Maybe I just need to use it as a good excuse to have more lazy sex! lol And I wish it was just cramping from orgasm, but unfortunately the pain often prevents me from being able to have an orgasm. It doesn't really happen if we do other positions, I just feel bad because me being on top is his favorite. I can't wait to be able to have normal sex again though! Haha only 9 weeks left to go thankfully :)

But it's very normal to get light contractions when orgasming.

First trimester I didn't care for Sex but once I hit my second and third trimester my seed drive flew threw the roof sometimes it's all I want, daily! I get so upset when my boyfriend tells me oh we will in the morning ahaha!

I sometimes get a random cramp but I'm so lazy to get on top that we usually do the spooning position lol! So much more comfortable!
