Painful sex

Ever since I became pregnant,  sex became pretty painful. After about 10 seconds of us having sex I would start to burn down there,  and it would burn  even worse when he came in me. Sorry if this question is TMI, but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

For me I don't produce as much lubrication on my own so foreplay has to be longer and we still use a good water based lube. helps us a ton and I want sex a lot! It can also be a sign of an infection but if you've ruled that out it is probably too dry, almost like a friction burn

The only time ur hurt or burned for me was towards the 12 week an that's cuz I had a yeast infection it was extremely painful but then it went away now all I want is sex but my husband thinks it's weird cuz there's a baby in there :(

Try more foreplay before. In fact fingering until you are good and wet. Otherwise it's just gonna hurt. Our you can use lube. Burning is usually caused because it's too dry. Or you could try using a condom, to help with burning when he comes. Pregnancy usually involves sacrifices in both of your sex lives. Even after the baby is born.

Yeah it takes me alot longer to warm up before sex so that's probably another reason why.

It use to burn for me too. My Dr said it was because your vigina swells up or something like that.
