Sex

In the beginning of my pregnancy sex was actually amazing. Super hot and I barely needed any stimulation to satisfy me. Now I'm almost 21 weeks and the last two weeks its not so good :( Even when I'm in the mood I barely have any lubrication, I can't move around and be as active during sex like before, and afterwards I sometimes I have a dull ache in my lower belly. I don't know if its my actual uterus or if its those side ligaments that support the uterus. Does anyone else get that?

Yeah I might mention it. I was actually a little worried because I don't remember it happening in my first pregnancy. But that was a long time ago so I forget alot of things. I didn't mention it to my fiancé either because I didn't want him to be paranoid about hurting the baby and then not want to do it anymore.

Yeah I think it because the pressure of the baby and since our blood volume is so high we can feel things differently. If it lasts a long time maybe mention it to your ob but if it goes away after then I think its just a part of our bodies growing

Yep I did with my first... its turned me right off. I was scared it would hurt the baby. It didn't, but after that it didn't help his case for more.

Haha a hippo! I feel like a hippo and I'm only halfway thru. And I know my self esteem has a big impact on my arousal. But have either if you guys had that lower abdomen pain afterwards?

I have mixed feeling about it. I am 13weeks and at times I want to but Im so nauseous all the time that I am terrified. My hubby walks around in my favorite jockeys of his and my mind is like yes but my stomach is like go ahead and gamble. Lol. With my 1st we didn't have sex for about 6 months or more and when we did I did it because I felt bad for him. I was quite content chilling. But I dont want him to go through that again.

I felt like that a lot. I took a break from it for a while because it just didn't feel good. I am 38 weeks now and am trying again to help with labor but now its like I'm a hippo trying to roll in the mud!
