Did/are you having sex as normal throughout pregnancy?

[Sparksi]

I’m 15 weeks and still worried about it somehow doing something to baby, so we’ve only actually had sex a handful of times since I’ve been pregnant. Is it absolutely totally fine?

Never had sex in either pregnancy. Not because I was worried about baby but I just didn't feel sexy and my partner didn't like the idea of it

Yes, both times. Absolutely fine.

I carried on as normal. It was all OK and I still felt sexy. I found I was more orgasmic too, which was a plus.

We still did in 1st/2nd trimester and she is absolutely fine. 3rd trimester I was too uncomfortable to even bother 🤣

Since I’ve hit third trimester we haven’t bothered. I was worried it’ll hurt her 🫣🤣 but also I’m so exhausted when I go to bed that’s it, goodnight from me 🤣

Still very active, we aren't gentle in aex in all honesty, very "enthusiastic " and "rough" by some standards. Baby is totally fine.

We did have an issue in early pregnancy with a sensitive cervix and bleeding so we had to stop all penetration/orgasms from 8 weeks until 12 weeks I think it was, then we slowly built back up being gentle and both of us checking for blood. I'm 26 weeks and back to complete normality.

I found out before my period was due, I couldn't go 9 months without sex, the month drove me mad.

We had sex about 3 times. Early on it caused spotting which always stressed me out loads.

later I just felt huge and gross and DH wasn’t really into it either!

As normal and at times more than normal, I measured absolutely huge and we still managed even the night before I went into labour.

Had more sex than ever when pregnant with my now nearly 6 year old! No issues whatsoever. Fairly active with my daughters pregnancy whose 6 weeks also, just less so as I was too tired with a busy life lol

It’s totally safe - the baby won’t see or feel anything. If you want to have sex, go for it! Maybe start a little gentle at first (my entire genital area was very delicate & coupled with PGP, wasn’t great combo!) As you get bigger, I need to do a bit of manoeuvring to get in a comfortable position but once you find it - 10/10 ☺️

Nope DH doesn't like the idea of it and I have not felt like it at all since the beginning, 36 weeks now and so uncomfortable I applaud anyone that is able to at this stage! Probably not ideal but we have been together 20 odd years and married nearly 14 so I think we will survive!

No, I just didn’t fancy it much.
We did a few times but hardly any. I think DH was a bit freaked out and I didn’t like my orgasms, they felt different, almost painful. Just not enjoyable. But everyone is different.

Early pregnancy yes, in that small window when I wasn’t feeling too sick. Since second trimester I’ve just felt ill and exhausted with one thing or another so no.

I avoided sex in the first trimester for both my successful pregnancies, due to previous losses and anxiety. We then resumed sex as usual for the rest of the pregnancy. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was sex that put me into labour at 39 weeks with my first as my waters broke a couple of hours after!

I don't feel as sexy!!!! But partner has a high sex drive. We still have it fairly frequently all though we just went a week without it.

I find it quite hard to climax I am over sensitive if anything

We cracked on as normal - at the end it sent me into labour with both of mine!

I was obsessed with it when pregnant didn't leave poor dh alone🤣

We only had sex briefly once in the second trimester and I'm 36 weeks now neither of us feels comfortable with it and to be honest we are both traumatised from 2 years of regimented timed sex every month . Plus I know it can cause spotting which would be normal but I actually don't think I'd do well with the anxiety of that I'm living on my nerves as it is

We carried on regularly in both pregnancies. With my first, we had sex until the day before I had a c section. I was 38 weeks and my waters unexpectedly broke overnight so I do wonder if it was caused by having sex. With my second, we stopped at 35 weeks because I became super uncomfortable after the last time we had sex. We were then worried it might cause baby to come early.

We had more sex than ever when I was pregnant (easy pregnancies). I felt more sexy and comfortable with my body and husband loved my body. We were having sex literally up until I went into labour - I think it actually sent me into labour

Not once since we conceived and I'm over 10 weeks 🙈

Haha no, my DP won't go anywhere near me he's really creeped out by it.

First trimester- felt like shit so wasn't bothered
Third trimester- Baby is breech and wedged right under my ribs which is making it difficult to move and breathe so wouldn't get comfortable

However, the second trimester I kept dreaming about it and I'm sure I had some orgasms in my sleep during it too! So I missed it during that

@T2024 if it makes you feel better we haven't done it since we conceived our baby- last October!!

3 pregnancies. Ex H didn’t touch me once during all of them. Did masturbate tho.

Pretty much as normal until about 32 weeks or so, then it started to get less comfortable and I started to worry about it inducing early labour.

I'm 39 weeks now and looking forward to the point in the future when we can get back at it!
