I have very bad pelvic pain and am off work at the moment. I'm 29 weeks and still interesed in sex.

It is quite uncomfortable but still desirable - any ideas?

my DP is off my boobs at the mo and oral sex. I'm fiding alternatives quite hard to think of.

If you want to, and enjoy it, then carry on.

If it is uncomfortable and you are not enjoying it, then don't.

Maybe you could think which positions might work better, might be more comfortable for you?

Would an orgasm be good for relieving the pain? How about leant forwards over a pile of pillows or having your DP stand up, with you on the edge of the bed with your legs up his chest?

If it hurts more with your legs open, how about you face down with your bum up on a pillow with your legs close together? I always find that very relaxing and good when I have sciatica.

obviously i really want the orgasm. My hips and pelvis hurt very badly but the feeling (not the pain) is very good.

Thanks for the tips about the pillows but the baby really doesn't like any pressure on my tummy.

i just fell overall quit crap in my body but really dont want to give up sex as that is the one pleasure i can get from my body at the mo as (apart from the wonder of knowing you have a life inside you and the movememt of the babay) pregnancy is sh*t!!!
