having sex while pregnant
 

I'm already on my 18th week. My baby bump if indeed more obvious now. I feel awful and ugly as tiny pimples start to appear on my face. I have a few too on my chest. But despite these insecurities, my husband still tells me that I'm the prettiest woman on earth and still finds me hot as ever. He's sweet, I know, but there are times that I feel weak, feel undesirable and I don't have the interest because of the said changes. The thought of having sex with my baby inside feels weird too. He gets pretty annoyed too when I turn him down for sex. And when he realizes that I give him "pity sex" he still gets upset which then leads to a petty fight. :(

Is having sex while pregnant normal? Please give me some advice on how to balance satisfying my husband, boosting our intimacy while pregnant all at the same time.

That's sweet! But I've never thought that having sex while pregnant is possible. :D

Just be honest with him on how you feel. Hope you'd find a way to resolve this.

Re: sex while pregnant
 

I have a lot of pregnant women have sex. Ask your doctor about it. If you do not have a delicate pregnancy I guess it won't be a problem. It would keep the intimacy between the two of you too!

Re: sex while pregnant
 

Shouldn't you be feeling sexy and pretty that your man still desire you despite the baby bump? Cheer up love :)

Shoot. I am taking duphaston now and need to take a bed rest for a couple of weeks. My OB's explanation? The linings of my uterus got some "scratches" due to my hubby's sperm. Didn't know that his is that potent! LOL! So now I'm taking my bed-rest and we might be taking a break on that... :(

But hubby and I say "FINE!" all for the baby!!!! :)

Re: sex while pregnant
 

Aw, you're sweet. Yes, he does says it most of the time. I still feel awful coz of my preggy rashes and zits... But thanks for the kind words! :)

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

Communication is the key. Tell him what you feel and I know, he'll understand. It's great that our hubbies still find us "tempting" with the bump and all that! ;)

Re: sex while pregnant
 

Sad to hear that but hoping that you're better now...

Next time you're already ok in doing it, might as well use a condom and a lube so as you know you're protected and at the same time you'll feel more comfortable too. Good luck!

Looks like this is a great time for the "Outercourse" as discussed on another thread.... ;)

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

Open communication + creativity

Open communication - Tell him what you feel. Be transparent and just be honest. It'll be all worth it if the two of you are always open to each other in any matters aside from sex.

Creativity- I understand that most of the time we feel so uninterested in sex especially when we're pregnant. But are you sure you're not just bored? Check yourself. If you feel like you're getting bored on the same old thing, then try to be creative! Explore the more artistic stuff in carrying the deed out excitingly. Just make sure that what you're performing is safe for the baby. Bear that in mind. Don't get carried away LOL! :D

Good luck!

Yeah, the more your bump gets big, the more hard work it entails so I agree with Abana, make it more creative! That way, despite and in spite being uncomfortable the 2 of you would still be able to enjoy it. That's what matters. :D

Re: sex while pregnant
 

Yes Edda, this is the best solution in these cases. ;)

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

We always do this and it's fun! Nothing can stop us even if it's my huge baby bump! All for loooove!

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

Of course! All for the love of romance and passion! We all are ready to be enslaved by these. Rawr!!!

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

I couldn't relate. It's zero since day 1 of my pregnancy, LOL.
I know y'all pity me... And I'm envious with y'all. :p

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

That's fine Idalia. You have all the sexy time ahead of you when you give birth! LOL. Just wanting to make you smile dear. Cheer up!

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

Don't be shy now... :p

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

@ Cadelaria - You said it just right!
@ Idalia- But don't do it just yet, let it heal first! LOL. Just kidding sweetie.!

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

I still had all the sexy fun when I was pregnant! I think it was really awesome!

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

OMG, you just said that! I couldn't believe you did. You're mean. Hahaha.

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

Ooh, you're our guru starting today! :p

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

Ditto.

I wouldn't wonder why if Edda releases a book or vid entitled "Do it the Edda way!" LOL! Peace Edda! :p

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

Hey Abana, you're mean, I've quoted you as my mentor so it wouldn't be the other way around, haha!

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

Dalinda, you're just as naughty as Abana... But who knows? It might be the niche I was looking for all along. Haha!

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

Your conversations made me chuckle just now! Good luck Edda on your childbirth. :)

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

Enough of those bickering you two. To close the case, this might work:

"Do It The Edda Way" by Abana's Publishing Company.

:D

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

Hahahaha!! They absolutely found their niche!! :D

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

OMG, this is just epic, LOLOL!

Re: having sex while pregnant
 

OMG, EPIC is the word precisely! LOLOL!
