Sex with a sense of humour (hope you don't mind)

I assume this is a forum where all sorts of questions are accepted... and let's take it in a light hearted way...
I'm just over 6 months pregnant and my husband and I aren't having much luck having sex (blush). It's not like we want to have sex all the time, but once or twice before we get hit with baby mania, would be nice.
Only thing is, how the hell is it supposed to work when you've got such a big belly (and bad hips)?! What are the best positions?
Again, hope you don't mind... Thanks.

This needs to be in the sex topic.

Hom lying behind you? Spooning?

With DS1 & 2, I went off sex from about 16 weeks, which DH accepted. Never pressured me, was always content for me to say "no thank you."

DS3, OMG, I jumped his bones every time I saw him (alone), until he started to say to me the "Not tonight Dear" Grin

I found the best was spooning, him behind and you sort of at right angles.

If your hips are bad, you need to work out if the most comfortable position is with legs open, relaxed over his back, or closed. We still work that out if my back is bad. Doggy style is good when pregant, as I can control the degree of penetration and his weight on my back.

Sorry for TMI. But, the most important thing is a supportive partner who also has a sense of humour and an acceptance that people are sometimes not quite rational when it comes to physical affection, especially when pregnant.

Jesus christ, not really a very shocking question is it? I sometimes wonder how some actually conceive their kids on here they're so delicate. It's perfectly clear this is a new member who can't post to the sex forum yet.

Spoons or you on top is the easiest OP. Good luck.

I'm I'm eight and a bit months and we manage once a week but I'm pretty much rampent due to hormones so I'm the one nagging for attention.
Just trial and error works and find what's comfy or lots of other stuff and avoid the act itself if it's uncomfortable
