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?

@glasshalffull0 I'm glad you're the same, I think I'm afraid of incase it causes anything or a uti especially in first trimester! I've gotten so used to not having sex 🤣🤣

Yeah.
I like sex and DH had to keep pregnant me happy. Think he also liked my masive pregnancy boobs tho.

Few times in first and second trimester, nothing since about 22 weeks, just cba/don’t want to!

Nah, not since my positive test and I'm 27 weeks now! I think my partner is way too wigged out by the situation and I'm almost entirely unfussed despite enjoying it previously. I got pretty big pretty early though so I imagine he'd just roll off the other side at this point!

As long as you are told no (as some pregnancies can be at risk I think?) then no reason not to. I had a really high drive in pregnancy so we did it a lot. Unrelated, but I bled early on in pregnancy (never knew why), not at times that we had sex. I was still never told not to. Baby was healthy!

Nope. First trimester sickness and quite severe PGP from week 15 has meant we've had sex 3 times in 6 months. Tried different positions etc but they still cause pain afterwards so that's it for us...so rubbish.

We’ve only done it once since we found out, and I’m 23 weeks. I was really sick until about 16 weeks, so that was a hard no, then had a bad bleed at 17 weeks and even though they didn’t find the cause, I was terrified of doing anything that could make it happen again.

When I felt more comfortable I asked DH if he fancied it, and he said he’d love to but after so long wouldn’t want to feel like he couldn’t go hard at it - so that was an absolute no from me. It was carefully or not at all - I didn’t feel like getting railed like some fantasy porn star. It wasn’t until last week when he finally realised it would be an absolute no unless he was more careful with me that we finally did it. I was relieved that there were no issues - it wasn’t particularly comfortable, and I was worried he was going to squash the baby, but it felt nice to get back to it and now I don’t see any reason not to continue if I’m feeling well enough. Still no porn star moves though, so he has to go with how I’m comfortable with it or not at all!

16 weeks pregnant, and haven’t stopped having sex. In my first trimester I learnt to be less enthusiastic, as it did on occasion lead to motion sickness 😂 It’s less frequent than it was pre-pregnancy, but still enjoyable. Obviously you have to try different positions to find the one most comfortable, but I plan to continue with my sex life for as long as possible. Just cos I’m pregnant doesn’t mean I don’t have needs/desires. I sometimes get a bit of cramp after sex/orgasm, but other than that, it’s still fun. I quite like the fact that he still finds me sexy even though my body has totally changed.

Oh @Lillers this post did make me laugh tho!

Didn't fancy getting railed like a porn star hahahaha bless you xx

Not at all, but I couldn't move without throwing up either.
I was not at my best.

No neither of us are interested.

During my first pregnancy we had more sex than usual. This is my second and although I am in the mood, sex is painful. (No idea why and I hope it's not permanent). But we are still actively sexual (just no penetration)!
