Sex during pregnancy..

**Tillismama** · 27-12-2007 16:36

I'm terrified to ask my mother, sick of annoying my doctor, my friends are no help and my partners just desperate to get some HAHA

I found out i was pregnant when I was only 3 weeks .. I'm not 7 weeks 4 days. I have not been able to bring myself to have intercourse in that time.
Yes we've fooled around but it doesn't feel like enough

I've been used to having sex about once a day (TMI) and now I haven't had sex in over a month.
My first pregnancy I was only 16 and my partner left as soon as I got pregnant so I never had these issues ..
It's not my lack of sex drive because I do want to but I'm scared but i'm not sure what of ..

Anyone have any ideas on positions that may help?
Websites with information?
People I can talk to?

We used to just have sex with him behind me laying down but that was with a massive belly we just had sex normally until my tummy got too big. Sorry not much help lol.

We were the same lol... sex once/twice a day...

These days he works away from home but have still had sex a few times... nothing has gone wrong and as far as I know bubs is still doing well...

Only once did I get a tiny bleed afterwards...

I cant give advice as I have no desire, no man and am way too worried about the baby lol.

Unless you have been advised by your health professional to abstain from sex, usually it is quite safe and fine to continue with 'business as usual'.

Unless you have a medical problem I dont think there is any reason to obstain and the further you get in your pregnancy the better it is for it. Not sure that positions would really matter this early on but later on it can get uncomfortable like Oneblessing said. Me I couldnt get enough of it and never had any issues that could be sex related

Yep, what the others have said!

Unless you are specifically told by your care provider not to have sex while pregnant due to a medical issue, there is absolutely no reason why you can't continue to go at it like rabbits

You can use any position you feel like using as long as it's comfortable for you. I'm now 35weeks and we still manage missionary, DH is just careful not to put too much pressure on my belly, but I find that the bigger I am the more comfortable positions like doggy style are, but any positions are up for grabs

yes nothing changes. Although I do find the braxton hicks after the big O rather annoying!!!

Until you get a big tummy there really isn't any reason to be concerned with positions and the like. Only now are we getting to a point where missionary and me on top are just a little too tricky. Just means you have to be creative...
