TMI? Sex and pregancy...

Right - this thread is going to be TMI - sorry - I can't ask anyone in RL!

So all the way throught my pregnancy so far I have been up for sex as usual (no real increase or decrease in sex drive).

Now, at 20+ weeks, I am still up for it but I am wondering if our usual position (basically missionary - me on my back, DH on top... God, can't beleive I am writing this ), while still do-able, is starting to feel a bit, well, "squashed" like he is really too heavy for the bump.

When do you all think/when did you find that sex with you on your back and your partner on top became undo-able during pregnancy? Is it dangerous for the baby to be "squished" at all?

Should we change position and if so (), what position is do-able now and in later pregnancy? Spooning?

Eeek... sorry for posting this!

I'm soooooo jealous. I'm desperate for sex and my not so wonderful DP is completely against sex in pregnancy. my best friend is a rabbit and I have taken out shares in duracell.

DP isn't prepared to do anything that requires physical contact, and says he just finds me unattractive in PGY!!!!!

So, all the best to you still having and enjoying sex, through gritted teeth

Hilarious thread!! Love it - am insatiable at the mo. Not often DH tells me to get a grip he is not a machine! Told him other men would love it so take it while its going - a newborn wont be long putting an end to it all!
Am 22 weeks so still all do able. On two other pregnancies managed most positions to the end just needed a bit of 'tweaking'. We really enjoyed the experimenting. Also dont forget all the fun of oral! TMI??

I've just read on another thread that we're not allowed orgasms in the third trimester unless we want to bring on early labour, surely this can't be true... noooooooo!! I'm rampant.

Scissor style! You on your back, him on his side, you have one leg hooked over the top of his hip, he has one leg between yours. Your top halves aren't that close together but it's comfortable and do-able up to the very end!

dappy you're not serious? Mind you since about 15 weeks when I orgasm I have very strong BH, and it was actually a little scary the last time.

dappymoo · 16/05/2010 09:09

It's the "things you miss" thread... ooh no it can't be true. I think it's for extra cautious people...

Octaviapink · 16/05/2010 10:27

Dappy, with my first I was desperate to bring on labour and so had at least one good 'session' every day - to no avail!!!

Octaviapink · 16/05/2010 10:28

Am deeply jealous of those who manage to have orgasms in labour though. Must make it a very different process!

dappymoo · 16/05/2010 15:49

Oh my god can you imagine? I'm pretty sure I don't believe a word of it, but wouldn't it be awesome....

WickedWitchSouthWest · 16/05/2010 18:58

It would be completely bizarre!

Phew re the orgasms in 3rd trimester though...!

If you still enjoy missionary, get him to kneel up. Or shuffle to the edge of the bed so that you're lying down on your back with your bum half hovering off & your partner standing up. I'm 22 weeks & don't like the thought of being on top, I'd feel like I was going to crush him & the effort of supporting myself up there enough so that I don't squash him makes my leg muscles ache for 2 days afterwards. But I like "doing it" from behind as you can get deep penetration that way. Unfortunately I've found spooning to be a little unsatisfying as penetration seems to be too shallow.

I do miss the good old missionary though as I like the whole, hearing their breath in your ear & neck kisses & what not.

LittleBeth53 · 17/05/2010 08:22

Although, it's all irrelevant for me now really as my partner decided he wasn't ready to be a dad not too long ago & left. Bastard.
So I'm left to please myself now!..........................

dappymoo · 17/05/2010 08:35

Oh sorry LittleBeth, what a plonker. Some men just don't know what they want do they? If he's going to be like that you're better off without him I'm sure. Hope you're ok

LittleBeth53 · 17/05/2010 08:58

Hmm, I'm only 23 & he's 25 & a couple of days ago a friend asked if I wanted to spend the summer in ibiza in her villa with friends. She forgot I was pregnant. Sacrificing that freedom I admit, is hard at times. But I wouldn't trade my future baby boy for anything.

I guess things are different for men. He's probably not done with "shagging his way through his 20's" yet. I'm happy to give up the party life but I guess he isn't.

So yep, he is a massive plonker & I'm a lot better without! I almost don't mid the idea of having my little baba all to myself!

But I posted on this thread because I do miss the sex!!! Hahaha!
