Im almost 32 weeks pregnant, very uncomfortable all the time, and im quite big for 32 weeks.

Im no longer interested in sex, havent been from around 20 weeks, all positions feel uncomfortable.

I get most enjoyment from sexual intercourse when im fully upright ontop of DH.

However at 21 weeks we did this position and i bled very heavily straight afterwards, and was rushed to hospital and was in for two nights. It was very embarassing explaining to the staff why i was bleeding Blush

Anyway i was told that if i didnt stop bleeding then i was at high risk of miscarriage. After four days i stopped bleeding completley.

Since then its scared me and DH to death to try that position again.

Now we are extremerly careful, and have not done that position since, but i just dont enjoy it anymore.

Has anyone got any tips or advice on how to have comfortable sex?

From behind?

You lying down with your bum on the edge of the bed, him on his knees next to the bed. I guess it has a name but I don't know it.

Or just get a vibrator!

Sorry, I didn't mean from behind and on the edge of the bed. But actually mabe try that too!

Don't beat yourself up if you only feel like a cuddle at this stage of your pregnancy. Im not surprised if you found the bleeding unnerving. How scary for you! There are times when sex is allowed to be very low key indeed and this is one of those times. Only a few weeks to go and if I were you I'd use your bed to get some shut eye while you can Wink

We have only been married 6 weeks, were suppose to be on our honeymoon period! lol

I cant orgasm in doggie style position, and i worry that as that position is deep penetrative sex, then i might bleed again :-(

You don't HAVE to have any sex, no matter how recent is the marriage. If you want to, then I'd suggest go for the less extreme positions and maybe try lots of manual stimulation (or get the help of a vibrator, as someone suggested!). Otherwise, there's nothing wrong in spending a few weeks without sex (or just stimulating each other in other ways...)

Comfort wise i'd suggest you on your back, him on his side, your legs or just the one over his body. He's then got a hand free for a bit of a fiddle. I've given up thinking about my enjoyment - i'm a good old missionary girl and that is completely out of the question at 35 weeks. So for now, its all about him and i'm pretty happy that he's getting his. :)

If it's too frustrating not being able to climax in most positions, and others make you worry about bleeding then maybe just stick to oral sex and toys for now.
