sex 30 weeks +

[Baby2sky]

Sorry ladies but need some advice. The last two times we have attempted dtd have failed miserably.My bump is just too big and we cannot get into a comfortable position! This never happened with our daughter and we were still able to carry on until she came at 38 weeks.

Any advice on best positions to try? I really cannot bare potentially 15/16 weeks of no sex! Thanks.

I have not attempted it since about twenty weeks so no advice here. It is just too uncomfortable this time round! Have accepted I'll just have to wait until I'm healed post baby now. Good luck! Xx

We had the same issue lots of pillows propped under you in doggy style is the only way we can be intimate and it's easier if
You put all the pillows under your boobs and forearms as your not letting your bump touch the bed. Or try being in that position with oh standing while your on the end of the bed. Xxx

I am having the same problem. The past few times me and my hubby have tried it was a total fail, I just cudnt get comfy in any position and I personally havnt really been in the mood to do it.
I feel so bad for my husband as he is being so patient and so understanding with me. We havnt successfully done it for over a month now.

 

[Louise2013]

I don't think it's unusual to be out of the mood so I'm trying not to worry about it much even though it's been about four months now for us... Lots of long showers for my hubby!! Haven't even had the energy for charitable bl*w j*bs....The pressure on my cervix since about month five has been horrible so anything going in, erm, the other direction has been agony. I have no idea how you ladies have managed it doggy style, that was by far the worst for us at last attempt but glad to know others are getting some at least!!! Literally cannot wait to be back to normal and get it on!! Xx

I am afraid I have no advice, we gave up after 20 weeks and it is foreplay only now lol x

So glad I am not the only one!!

I can't think of anything worse right now! With my son we dtd right up until the night before he was induced, we mainly sort of spooned with me more on my back, this 'erm' gives access to everything without the bump being in the way.
Can't remember when we gave up this time but I don't think I could physically do it now as I'm like a weeble! X

Me on top is the only position which works for us x

 

[xjdx]

Hhhmmm, it's either doggy style at the end of the bed with a pillow under my bump or some sort of side ways position. I won't go on top just incase I suffocate my husband.

I usually end up in a fit of giggles with all the strange noises xx

 

[Bubbles22]

From behind either sideways or kneeling. Nothing else is comfy x

JD this made me LOL !!!
We hadn't dtd for weeks until last night! I Couldn't get comfy, always felt like I needed the toilet or it just wasnt pleasant! We tried doggy and I'm usually not a fan but it was surprisingly 'comfortable' lol! 37+3 now so we'll see if it brings anything on haha!!

My hubby has a good sized belly too so we kind of meet in the middle! I always say god how do you put up with carrying this around! Ha

We gave up around 32 weeks, my bump is still quite small but our problem is that we're scared of baby kicking either of us during, putting us off and making us feel awkward. Finding positions isn't the hardest thing and we both want it but being kicked by our daughter while we're "getting it on" is just too weird!
Doggy style works for us, I don't really need to prop myself up as bump isn't huge but that's about the only position which works for us. I don't like being on top because I'm too self conscious and I don't like the usual missionary as him touching my stomach in any way makes me nervous in case she kicks us. I also can't really lie on my side or in any weird angle which puts pressure on my hips, I end up too sore to walk or sit down and it's not in a good way! ��

 

[CharDrap]

I'm 33 weeks I think and On top is definitely the only way for us as with doggy I always end up flat on my bump as I'm quite petite height wise in comp to husband so my knees always slide flat! Only thing about on top is you can't bend forward at all as bump gets well in the way so have to lean back - but we too often end up in hysterics so its dwindling for us too..

Sex???? What's that again?

 

[Quinn1979]

We did it doggy style last week (25 weeks) tried missionary first, too uncomfortable! We've only managed it twice since feb cos I'm never in the mood! Xx

 

[ShowingPromise]

We gave up months ago - once hubby could feel baby moving it totally freaked him out. Prior to that I was too ill/ not in the mood from tri 1 nastiness - so we have had rather a long dry spell! Hubby has been fab though and not moaned about it once. I think he will be counting the days until we can again though!
All those ladies still doing it - enjoy!

 

[petchy]

2 days shy of 30 weeks still, but it's either spooning or some variation of me on my knees - with various amounts of duvets and pillows involved as and when necessary. I can't imagine not having sex, so we just find a way

 

[Louise2013]

Under any other circumstance I cannot imagine a life without sex either, but painful sex is not enjoyable (anything anywhere near my cervix is agony), so it's off the table until healed post birth for us
