Sex In Third Trimester Posted: 06-29-05 02:13am
:oops:
okay, so here's the deal. I cannot have
sex! It hurts like crazy to do so, and
it has since about the middle of my second
trimester. I am now 34 weeks pregnant,
and we tried about a week ago, which ended
up with me crying silently so he wouldn't
notice and could at least find some
release for himself. Then I hurt for
hours afterwards, soaking in the tub for
about 3 hours while he slept. He didn't
know though...
Why does it hurt so bad?
:cry:

Hi,
i'm not sure why you'd hurt so much,
unless the baby's head has already moved
or engaged into the pelvic cavity, putting
pressure on your whole pelvis- this
usually happens early with first babies-
is this your first?
Maybe, if you want to have sex with your
husband, grip the base of his penis with
your whole hand, and hold onto it the
whole time so that he only penetrates a
little bit, or use a position where he
doesn't penetrate as deeply-like lying
your side with him behind you- like
spoons.
You definately shouldn't be doing anything
that puts you in enough pain to cry- pain
is your body's way of telling you to stop
what you are doing. Also- if you are
going to soak in a tub for long period,
don't have it hot-that's dangerous.
Take care of yourself-there are plenty of
ways for both yourself and your husband to
have sexual gratification and intimacy
without penetration.
I'll bet your baby comes a little early-
but it's six weeks until it's recommended
to resume sex after birth, so you'll need
to develop some other ways to be intimate
soon anyway.
Be gentle with yourself !!

Yes, it is my first child, and we were
laying on our sides, so that idea's out.
And i'm too big to actually reach him
enough to grab him while we're making
love... I guess intercourse is out of
the question for us... But thanks for
the suggestions girls.
