I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant nd sex has been good Sofar nd yes the positions can be tricky but it’s ok find a position good for you nd baby good luck nd to add my husband nd I do have ruff sex also actually more frequently lately
With my history of preterm I’ve asked (and he has willingly agreed) we hold off from 32-36 weeks so we have been having sex regularly this pregnancy but aren’t right now. I am not collecting colostrum until 37 weeks for the same reason.
Definitely still having sex. 😭😆 craving it more than i did in previous trimesters
With the rough sex, you can always ask & tease a lot more to help become aroused a lot cuz that can help make rough sex more pleasurable. That way you’re feeling eased & extra frisky! & you can take control, you decide the pace & do more stimulating things for you (if that’s caressing, kisses, foreplay, etc) I think it’s sweet to want to connect for intimacy, maybe just ask for more before penetration & that always has been bringing me more pleasure while I’ve been at 31 weeks this far. Plus, it’s fun when you can call the shots ;) I want to collect colostrum so bad too, but I’m holding off as well. I’ve got the supplies, but just waiting a few weeks more! Take care of your self love & self nurturing as well, you DEF deserve it!’ 💌
We’ve barely had sex at all this pregnancy, husbands afraid of hurting me and the baby
They suggest not to express colostrum or pump until 37 weeks. I've been hand expressing a tiny syringe worth here and there, but I know it CAN cause preterm labor. As for sex, I haven't hardly had any my whole pregnancy because my sex drive is SO much lower 🙃
32 weeks , def still having sex! Not collecting colostrum yet
I’ve been told sex is safe unless you have placenta previa/ other placental issues your ob would have commented about. Active sex can be difficult with size at this point in pregnancy, so being creative and doing it in a different way may be a necessity. As you get closer to term sex can also help start labor (semen can soften the crevix if you are otherwise ready), but sex/ seamen is not going to cause labor to start if you are not almost there anyways. I have read collecting colostrum early can put you into labor, 32 weeks is too early in my opinion although colostrum starts being made in the second trimester. I would wait until 36 weeks at least personally. Also you will produce it and can nurse in that ‘golden hour’ giving all of the wonderful colostrum that is ready and warm for your baby, no freezing, thawing or warming needed.
