Ummmm, I don't think baby oil is the way to go.

Have you tried a water based personal lubricant? You can get it almost anywhere.

Babyoil is fine.
I've used it plenty times and it was the best lube we ever used.... Hmmmm now then maybe I should get some more lol.

We've got some durex water based lubes and they just aren't as good.

However, never use an oil based lube if you use a barrier contraception (ie condoms/female condom/cap/diaphragm/etc) because the oil will perish the rubber/latex and you will risk sti and pregnancy.

Seeing as you are pregnant, then pregnancy won't be a problem...

Baby oil is not a "prescribed" lube per se.

And of course any doctor worth his/her salt will point you in the direction of lubes designed for the purpose of sexual intercourse.

But so long as there is nothing rubber/latex like condoms and such to be damaged by the oil (any oil will perish condoms) then baby oil is fine to use.

Unless you are prone to infections, baby oil should be fine. You can try it and if you don't like it, go buy something else.

Astroglide works well. K.Y is a lot thicker. And other water soluble brands (like from sex shops) are ok too.

I hope you find something that works.

I've never used baby oil before, reading this all i'm tempted to, but:

question - do you think use of baby oil as a lubricant could encourage urinary track infections? It's weird, I never used to get them, but with my partner now i've had at least three. I don't really understand why. Is it a hygeine issue that could cause a woman to get utis with one partner and not with another?

No no no no no no no never use baby oil never because something in the lotion does something and it weakens something in the condom which makes it less effective and thats not bull a doctor told me that and the same about blood

go to the bathroom after you have sex to clear out your urethra of bacteria.

Some women are prone to getting utis. Make sure to drink a lot of fluids and use the bathroom after sex.

already pointed out.

Any oil perishes rubber/latex products such as condoms, caps, diaphragms/etc

but the original poster is 36 weeks preggy - I doubt condoms are too much of a worry

As far as the question about utis being related to poor hygiene....The answer is no. Bacteria can get into your urethra as already stated by someone and can cause the infection. This happened to me when I was with my fiance and not using condoms, I was just real sensitive. The doc told me that voiding (urinating) after sex and leaning forward while voiding will completely empty your bladder and clear out the urethra.
