Sex in third trimester

[nailsathome]

Having a bit of trouble with foreplay!

I'm 33 weeks, definitely can't lay on my back because it makes me dizzy and I have SPD. OH is finding it difficult to "negotiate his way around" down there if I'm on my side because bump is rather large and in the way. In addition, I'm having an extremely active baby which is off putting at the best of times!

We've tried having me propped up on pillows but it feels a bit like a hospital examination. It's all a bit awkward!

So any words of advice ladies? This is my second DC but first with this partner. Didn't have this problem last time because exH said I was repulsive from about 28 weeks. OH however thinks I look great and can't keep away... As I said it's just all very awkward

Hi I no the feeling everything you have said I'm going through the same I'm 34 weeks with second baby and he's so active all the time I feel like neglecting my other half but theres just no way sex can happen.
I have the SPD as well and its afull.
When we do try foreplay it has to be after at least an hour after going to bed so that baby has had a riggle about and settles and have to have all the pillows so I'm sitting sort of thing then we kind of just go from there I Hess awkward really but I gess there's nothing eles we can do until baby's born and I'm healed ect.
Good luck xx

No advice, just to add - tried this morning for the first time in a few weeks (I'm 32w)...missionary...won't be doing that again - my orgasms seem to make the baby move a lot, which I can live with but properly freaked out DP, plus him being on top properly winded me and I had to push him off and catch my breath because I was nearly hyperventilating at the end, which was a bit of a mood killer. Will probably try something spoony next time but the moment was gone by that point!!!

Try the stairs...sounds odd I know but you can sit higher up and lean back and your partner can be lower with erm...easy access? Sorry if tmi but it worked for me when I was big!! We had no kids in the house so no issue there, not sure if this would be possible for you.

Lie on your side with him behind you and spoon. Supportive position and no bump in the way. Easy peasy!

So glad we aren't alone!

Spooning is good for intercourse but not for any sort of foreplay (not that we've found anyway!)

On your side facing him, if you can turn your top leg out? And doggy style for the actual act. You can rest the bump on the bed! And it's much less cramped in there towards the end, so less uncomfortable.

(41w here, everything is a struggle but the midwife recommended this to try and bring it on!)

Spoons for hands and kissing etc.
Doggy for oral and intercourse.
It's the only way we can do it, I'm 37+6 and my libido has gone crazy.
Baby moving freaks DP out so we do it in the dark and I don't tell him if it's happening!

Propped up on pillows for the overture, from behind, or from behind on side for the main event. With a good sense of humour too!

Sit on his face?
Can you kneel over his face for long periods though?

I think if I went over his face I would eather crush or suffercate him
Xx

Lol mum2be!

OH is very pleased with all the sit on his face suggestions!

Loving this thread....24 weeks here and already struggling. It's more the active baby for me tho, hes a little mood breaker already lol x

Any tips to avoid cramp while DTD? I always seem to get it just at the crucial moment ... Last time it was in my hip/bum

Spooning. Doggy style. Sit on corner or bed with OH kneeling on floor. Girl on top?
I'm 32 weeks too and it is awkward but doable!

Try on your front with pillows under bump. He can achieve all sorts from behind
