Hi everyone! Im on my 19 5 today, everythings doin well: baby's very active now, my nausea has been just a thing of the past etc. Ill go str8 to the point anyway, obviously hubby and me is still engaging on sex as ive read and learned that if youre not on high risk its ok. However as my tummy grows bigger it gets really uncomfortable and my tummy just stiffens and contracts after sex. Sometimes it scares me because my stomach gets really stiff which is really uncomfortable. Do you have any suggestion on the most comfortable sexual position during pregnancy and wouldnt the pumping(cant think of any other word sorry) cause premature labor and contractions? Any advise would help thanks in advance

Hey anna

its not that embarassing how did we get prego in the first place lol!!!

Anyways I found "doggie style" or laying down beside each other worked best, nothing you can do for after cramps they kinda of come and go...

Although they wont cause you to go into labor unless conditions are ripe /high risk pregnancy or your trying really hard to get the baby out..

When your stomach tightens after sex, this is your uterus contracting. You need to let your doctor know to find out what is normal for you. Depending on the severity of the contractions, and how often you have sex, this could be normal, or a case of premature labor. I had premature labor with all three of my pregnancies, and was advised not to have sex. With my first one, I was a young newlywed and didn't quite listen. I remember the tightening of my stomach after sex. I hope this isn't the case for you! Good luck!!!

Ya jess, side by side worked very well. Doggie was good, just as you grow it gets harder to hold that big belly up lol

I truly feel for you. I still crave sex often, but I am about 5 months along, and it is getting uncomfortable. Just in the past three weeks (weeks 18 - 20) my stomach has about doubled in size! I really do not like being on top.

He is usually on top, but he has been gaining "sympathy" weight as well. The extra weight he has put on in his own belly area only makes it that much more uncomfortable for me. :( he even commented the last time that it is about time for me to be on top now. I am just not sure how this will turn out for us. I guess if I want it bad enough I will give in to being on top, but I hope he will compromise a little, too, and try other positions.
