Sex Question
At what point in your pregnancy did you stop having sex? Did your doctor advise you not to or you just decided to? Sorry if this is too personal but I’m just curious when or why you stopped. I’m 35 weeks and got nervous the other day thinking I was going to go into premature labor if we had sex so we we didn’t do it ( I don’t know why I convinced myself of this but I did lol)

Re: Sex Question
It's not going to cause premature labor unless your body was already going into labor. We never stopped for that reason. It gets uncomfortable late in pregnancy but we've just slowed down due to me being uncomfortable. I wouldn't worry.

Re: Sex Question
I don't think it can harm you at all (unless your Dr puts you on pelvic rest for any reason) but to be honest, the last thing I wanted to do towards the middle to end was have sex. I did not feel sexy, I just felt gross and big.

I think I just feel bad for DH and am willing to try this late in the game for him even though I think it’s going to be uncomfortable. By no means do I feel or look sexy at this point but I might give it a shot. I was just curious what other people thought about it.

Re: Sex Question
Please. You are the one about to push a baby out of your who-ha. He can survive a few weeks or a few months without sex.
If you feel ok and want to, do it.
If you don't, don't feel bad for him.

Yeah, I had a scare shortly after DD was born. I wasn't pregnant, but waiting for that pregnancy test to result at 3am with DD screaming in the background was probably the worst 5 minutes of my life.

I didn't have sex my entire pregnancy. DH made it through unscathed, probably because he didn't complain once. If he had complained there would have been lots of scathing going on. Not due to lack of sex, but because I'd have flipped out.

Sex Question
Shockingly DH hasn’t complained once it’s me who has recently brought it up. He’s so understanding with everything but I guess it’s me who gets weird if we haven’t had sex in a little while.

Sex Question
11 weeks on and then 8 weeks following my c section. I had an SCH so it was medically necessary, plus I concussed via IUI so I was so nervous. We probably had sex1-2x when I was pregnant. He survived and I didn’t feel bad, sorry my body was sacrificed and will never be the same, he can last until I was ready!

Omg same here! I actually fell to the bed and cried tears of relief and joy when that test came up negative. I still remember to this day the sweet wash of relief that came over me.

Re: Sex Question
Never stopped. I begged DH to do me 2 days before my due date. I wanted her out. Spoiler alert: it didn't work.

Re: Sex Question
We've done it a handful of times. He asks for it and I just don't feel good about myself. I feel enormous. Most of the time I just give him a BJ cause it's easier than taking my clothes off lol.
Once I get towards the end of the pregnancy, I'll prob do it more often to see if it will speed things up. I delivered a little early with my first pregnancy. I tried a million things though, just because I was so over being pregnant. I don't know if it was just a coincidence or if something I tried actually worked.

Sex Question
We had sex until probably 37 weeks. I still enjoyed it, but I guess things in my body shifted and my DH found it uncomfortable.

Sex Question
I'm 31 weeks and aiming for a vbac so i'm trying to do it as much as i can with the hopes that the prostaglandins will soften my cervix. I had a ER section at 38+1 with my first so i never dilated or went into labor so I have no idea what my body is going to do.
currently we're at like 1x-2x a week.
It also helps that my sex drive just took a MAJOR upswing
