So my beauties, I have a tmi question for you all, amidst your very real worries (I apologise in advance)...

I can't get myself in the mood at all in this darn heat with a bump and hormones and hair everywhere that just grows and grows! I'm sweaty and gross and as much as my OH tries, he always manages to squash my bump or outrageously gigantic sore boobs. It's been 2 weeks since we last had sex and we're about to go camping with his family until next Monday which means we can basically write off the next week too. I wish I was in the mood but frankly I need a good way to make him feel loved and satisfied without sex. #pregnantinaheatwave 🙄 any advice or similar situations??

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 23/07/2018 18:26

Also hi @Bubba84 welcome!! Sorry to whinge so soon after you joined!!! X

AGirlinLondon · 23/07/2018 18:39

Haha @Goldilocks we’ve been told we can’t until after the baby is born because it’s too risky, so thinking the same Grin

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 23/07/2018 19:33

Oh god @AGirlinLondon that's rubbish!! Although it does make life a lot simpler in a way 😂 thanks for responding, I think most peoples sex lives go a bit haywire one way or the other when growing a tiny human 🤰🏼

December2018 · 23/07/2018 19:52

Goldilocks it sounds daft but I get really anxious that my OH is gonna poke baby in the eye or something lol
.... butttt!
A bit of slap & tickle never hurt anybody!😂
Don't have to actually have sex to feel sexy.... yano what I mean 😜

Bubba84 · 23/07/2018 20:08

@GoldilocksTheGraceless that's exactly how I've been feeling this pregnancy! I miss feeling intimate with my hubby but I really am not in the mood to do anything at all! It's strange as I was the complete opposite when pregnant with my first! The times we have had sex I just worry I may bleed after. Definitely anxious this pregnancy 🤪

balalalala · 23/07/2018 20:16

Thanks @agirlinaction good to know we're in the same mindset!

@goldilocks I hear ya. Totally different this pregnancy. Last one I wanted it much more, this one really not at all!

AGirlinLondon · 23/07/2018 21:22

You guys are cracking me up 😂

SunshineSnowflakesDaydreams · 24/07/2018 00:05

Try and get some in now because once that bump comes things get a little more... comical! Enjoy it while it's easy! Our whole sex life towards the end was centred around the words "Damn bump!"

December2018 · 24/07/2018 07:04

Lol well anyway! Pregnant sex and sore hips doesn't really go well together!
I'm in work and I'm literally walking like John Wayne with piles 😂😂

.... might just be the hips tho... not too sure yet 🤭

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 24/07/2018 07:20

You are all amazing, feeling much better after reading your comments and able to laugh at the situation rather than feeling upset. Hope everyone has a lovely day x

MagicalCreatures · 24/07/2018 08:04

😂 laughing my arse off over here at some of your comments.
If it’s any consolation, my and DH haven’t had sex since conceiving. We’ve both been too scared too. But we find other ways to get close.
And to be honest I don’t know how we would anyway coz my bump is huge for 17 weeks and I’ve got so many growing pains I honestly have no idea what position to even try. 😂

Also I now have a pregnancy pillow which is like a full barrier between us in bed - it could be sponsored by nuns Grin

RomPom · 24/07/2018 09:35

I've completely gone off sex, and keep having sex dreams that are horrible. We're still managing it every couple of weeks, massively favoring the spoons position but have to keep reminding him to keep hands off boobs! I don't really fancy it to begin with but enjoy it when we get going. 😂

Izzyw1983 · 24/07/2018 10:03

We had sex up to 9 weeks until he left lol
Think I miss that more than him haha
I'm 17 wks now when do u start feeling baby move cos I think I have...or maybe it's in my head haha

December2018 · 24/07/2018 10:15

Haha! We're all just a bunch of romantics arnt we 😂
Our poor OHs... i would literally rather have a nice brew and a kitkat than sex.... or even a marsbar not too fussy at the moment 😜

I do like a cuddle tho only when I'm not too hot & flustered like 99.9% of the time ha!

kaytees · 24/07/2018 10:17

Oh what a relief reading some of these! So glad it's not just me ... same thing happened in first preg, SPD hit at about 17 weeks and leg opening is just not pleasant! Same seems to be happening again but not as bad.

@AGirlinLondon pregnancy pillows are the best but yes they must feel a bit like barriers 😂

@balalalala I get where you're coming from with the scarring etc from a c section. I have horrible stretch marks from first pregnancy and have never really had a bikini body but the idea of more scarring is still upsetting. It's okay to feel whatever you feel, it's a complex time! If it helps I've heard less than ideal stories of emergency sections but all the stories from friends and family of planned sections have been really positive!

Gemsie1984 · 24/07/2018 10:20

Gross start to my day and sorry TMI for those with a sensitive stomach (as do I).
It's the glorious school holidays and my darlings woke before me this morning. I woke 30 mins later and went to the loo to have a wee and what do I find? Diarrhoea everywhere. All over the floor, all on the seat of the toilet, up the back of the toilet and a poo/toilet wipe concoction in the toilet bowl and the cherry on top of the carnage was shitty underpants unceremoniously dumped on my national enquirer 😫
Cue a MASSIVE vomiting session from me as I try my best to sort out the shit-storm. My nose and stomach are too sensitive for these experiences now!!

Cakelaur · 24/07/2018 12:13

We didn't have sex for the first 12 weeks cos I was petrified of losing again. But since then we prob go once a week. But this heat and OH has been working long hours, hasn't led to much sex. But we have a couple of holidays coming up. So 🤞🏻! I'm not too fussed either way! Haha.

@Gemsie1984 oh babe that sound HORRENDOUS!! Did you find the culprit?

Gemsie1984 · 24/07/2018 12:23

Yep it was my son. Don't quite know how he managed.. he's fine in himself and happy as larry.. I said the least he could've done is put the boxers in the wash!

December2018 · 24/07/2018 12:25

Omg gemsie!
That sounds like a propper poo festival!!
You poor thing!

I was gonna make a curry for tea 😂... I think I'll do it tomorrow instead 😜😘

December2018 · 24/07/2018 12:31

Haha to be fair! I just can't be bothered 😂

Gemsie1984 · 24/07/2018 13:09

Sorry!! 😂

AGirlinLondon · 24/07/2018 13:11

I also came home to shitageddon a couple of weeks back - the dog has a habit of eating things off the floor. Took nearly an hour to clean it up. Guess it’s good prep!

December2018 · 24/07/2018 13:37

Shitageddon 😂😂😂

My dogs did a "poonami" yesterday
I told OH yesterday "please don't give the dogs those sausage rolls out of the fridge they don't agree with them! (They wait by the fridge for them, it's is bloody cute tho)
Came home and they where gone.... and later on that day there was a poo explosion all over the kitchen floor!
He still swears he didn't give them any sausage rolls.... hmmmm!
I think he's telling bloody fibs! 😂
One of them is a mastiff too! His turds are like rhino shits!
