Hi I was wondering if any of you lovely ladys could help I'm 36 weeks and my husband doesn't want to be romantically involved with me because he knows the baby head is down and we had an ultrasound and the baby looked like she was staring at him threw the screen and that kinda freaked him out and he thinks he's going to like poke or get near the baby and. Tried to explain but it doesn't work he just gets to Weirded out this s our first kid.

That being said... While its physically safe its still a mental game. I am weirded out by having sex with a kid sitting between us inside my body, plus positions all just feel awkward and uncomfortable. Its not possible to get turned on in that situation for me. I could easily see a man also having trouble getting turned on because of that. Try not to be too hard on him if that's the case. Not something easily helped.

The baby is extremely well padded behind the cervix and is pretty far up so there's no chance of the penis causing any issues or touching baby. Even if it does touch your cervix its still pretty far from the actual baby. The only thing that would worry me is any pressure or positions from outside where you or hubby would be pressing too much against your belly or bending you into compact positions. Also being on your back can decrease blood flow and oxygen to you and baby. Cause lightheadedness etc.

My baby boy is head down and very low and my husband and i were having sex and he got super scared bc the baby kicked and he was able to feel it on the head of his ****. But he got over it bc he talk to my doctor about sex and since I've been pregnant my husband's sex drive is ridiculous haha. Have your husband talk to your doctor maybe even do a one on one talk with your doctor. Sex is important especially since your further along

My boyfriend asked my doctor the same questions and the doctor informed him as long as im not in any pain or discomfort during intercourse or after then everything will be fine.

My bf got worried about that too but never told me. He actually asked some of the guys he works with who were dads already and also consulted his own doctor.
I don't remember exactly which week it is but one of the videos they show on here shows about your mucus plug. How it blocks your cervix to protect the baby and also how the amniotic sac surrounds baby. He couldn't touch the baby if he wanted to. I don't know if any of that will help or just gross him out instead.
