Sorry if TMI but question about lubrication?

[KJ]

Hiya,

I just wanted to ask if anyone has used lubrication for intercourse whilst pregnant?

Am finding things a little uncomfortable and my GP said that KY jelly would be good. Does anyone think this will be ok to use whilst pregnant?

Sorry, I am not having this problem at the moment as I've been advised not to, but I would think if your GP said it was ok...then why not.

Hope to be here in tri 2, in 2 weeks.

We've taken to using durex play lube. not the tingle one though that just hurts lol
And we get it delivered in our Tesco online shopping so no embarrassment at the checkout

I'm the total opposite, I seem to be more lubricated down there at the moment

an unflavoured lube should be fine - just watch flavoured ones as they can contain sugar and end up giving you a raging case of thrush

Also watch any tingle/warming ones as they generally work by increasing bloodflow, not sure whether that's good or not in pregnancy?

I'm kinda puzzled by the sextoys are ok though? I own a company which sells adult products and I know the warnings say don't insert anything that isn't your OH's you know what when pregnant. External use should be fine but internal use is something we always warn against.

I think insertion is advised against because there's more risk of introducing an infection, and also because the toy is harder than the penis, there's the risk of damaging the cervix plug.
