Questions & Answers

My point was simply that baby doesn't know anything except that all that movement makes him feel nice and usually puts him to sleep. I wasn't interested until my third trimester and now I ask for it more than I did when we weren't pregnant. Hormones are funny. If you want it, trust me you'll make it work. It's just a little different, that's all :) Don't be afraid to tell him you need to slow down, change positions or even stop.

I'm uncomfortable too and don't get how women are lucky enough to enjoy it right now...even my horomones say I'm not very interested other than being close to hubby. I also have tilted uterus which makes it even more uncomfortable I think....lots of women have a tilted one. And I have to say, I don't refer to my little one as a fetus, he's my baby and that's what he's going to be when he comes out! No they don't know anything but they won't for months to come. Just take your time and do what is comfortable. If you haven't in a while of course it will be more uncomfortable at that time also since there's been so many changes. I know even when I'm not pregnant if it's been some time since we have, things are a little more uncomfortable for me than usual, like I'm tighter so keep that in mind too. It's hard but don't let it bother you it's normal.

I used to hate being on top but now that I'm big I prefer it. You will have to play around to find a position that works-I can't STAND being on all fours, which is a recommended pregnancy position, because for me it's really uncomfortable. You're pregnant, you get to call the shots. You can also do other activities....as for your husband, if he wants to have sex he'll have to get over it. Your baby is a fetus, it doesn't know anything. It actually enjoys sex because the hormones that make you feel good make baby feel good, too. Last time we had sex afterward my husband said he could feel baby moving around. He wasn't freaked out at all, just thought it was funny and weird. If you don't want to have sex, that's ok, too. I'm sure your husband can take care of himself.

Lube is your best friend right now! Lol Because of the extra blood flow to that area, things can be a lot more sensitive, which can be good, but it also means that it is indeed a little more snug. Its not your imagination. The tissues can be irritated more easily too. DH and I have discovered that we just have to take things a little slower than before. But that can be a good thing too.. ;-)
