Sex during pregnancy

[Arianna1]

I’m 22 weeks and sex is becoming more and more uncomfortable; painful, too tight, no pleasure... and all that. Anyone else feeling the same way? What are your remedies ?

I'd stop having if it's unpleasant. Are you instigating it or being asked for it?

Try changing positions. Some put less pressure on your pregnant bits 😜

Position change doesn’t help..

More foreplay, more lube?

Otherwise ultimately you'll just have to do other stuff until sex stops hurting which may be after baby is born.

22 weeks does seem early tho, maybe ask your midwife?

I'm only 8+1 but I had some bleeding and pain so we're abstaining until after 12 week scan and speaking to midwife - that's just is though as no other issues so far.

I do remember being dry a lot (makes a change from 1st trimester in pregnancy) and needed so lube that helped add moisture as well as everything else.

Midwife will be able to help and make sure no physical reason to why sore such as infection etc.

It's all good, maybe also relaxation will help if your stressed about hurting baby or just blessed with a partner who is naturally endowed 😋🤗
