I've not had that when DTD Cookies - except that one of the first times we tried after I got pregnant, I was so effing dry that we couldn't actually do it! Bought some baby-friendly lube after that... If it hurts because there's not enough lubrication (I hadn't realised how much was on the outside of a condom) then I would suggest trying some lube. But certainly worth mentioning to midwife - I know it's horrible to have to talk about but don't be embarrassed, it is important and they really have heard it all! xxx

I haven't dtd since we found out. I have zero desire despite usually having a good sex drive. I was the same during the first trimester with dd. DH is fine with it and very supportive. For me, it improved in the 2nd trimester last time so I'm hoping for the same. I'm just too tired atm.

Do it scase!

Jo - sounds exactly what I had. Getting an early scan is the only and best thing you can really do to reassure but as cookies said, it's really common. Good luck!

And happy count downing for those with impending scans. Good news is, at 12 weeks, the babies are really properly formed and doing back flips!

P.s. Re. DTD - we've been too anxious to! Waiting til this stressful first trimester is over. Also felt about as sexy as a fat, windy old bag so not really been in the mood.

For the first 7 weeks my sex drive was at an all time low, I hated the thought of even trying anything also because when we did Id get terrible cramps after O that put me right off I heard its something to do with the uterus contracting it scared the hell out of me! I dont get any pain now and my sex drive seems to have gone up for now at least until I look like some sort of beached whale I'll bet it'll go again

Only got myself to blame but after a full dinner of rice and lentil curry for dinner I've just had a chicken wrap and fries from a local takeaway. Now I feel gross.

Missclark I've got loads of spots appearing on my face. Particularly annoying as they aren't whiteheads just horrible red bumps. I seem to be getting more every day. I usually have flawless skin Sad

Cookies when I've dtd during this pregnancy and previous pregnancy I've not experienced any pain at all. I would definitely mention it to the midwife.

Loki I'm hoping that's true for me I've not lost my high sex drive during pregnancy before. I feel so different this time.

Smoothie for breakfast this morning see if I get any improvement on my morning nausea.
