Sex at 36 weeks

I love my husband and the sex we had before pregnancy was amazing. Even during it’s been awesome but now that I’m huge and almost 37 weeks we can only do one position that I’m comfortable in and a lot of the time it still feels uncomfortable having him inside me. I’m worried it’ll send me into early labor but I don’t want to cut him off entirely already since I know we won’t be able to be intimate for a while after birth. I don’t know how to talk to him about any of this and feel horrible about it.
Does anyone have any advice? How did you deal with sex so close to your due date?

i kinda felt the same,only doggy was comfortable the last few weeks. and sex did help me go into labor at 40+5!
you just gotta tell him how you’re feeling! i don’t think you should feel horrible or worry too much about his needs tbh, he should support you and care about your health and comfort more than anything

Talk to him and voice your concerns. Yall can figure out a solution. Keep your mind and physical safety safe. It’s be Okeyy!

So.. when I was 7 months pregnant with our second baby, I went to the sex store and bought him a toy for his birthday that I can use on him lol. Let's just say there were no complaints.

There are other ways to sexually satisfy each other without penetration 🥰 just voice your concerns to him and I’m sure he will be more than happy to explore other options :)

Just talk to him about it, I’m sure he will be understanding and not want to cause you discomfort. There’s no need to feel horrible about it all of this is very normal. We had sex irregularly throughout the whole of pregnancy, my libido was the highest in third trimester as that’s when I finally felt better but of course that is when it starts to get uncomfortable and positions get limited. You dont have to have penetrative sex to be intimate with each other so if you still want to that’s another option. My partner has always been understanding when we’ve had to have breaks from sex pregnant or not. I will say when I was desperate for baby to come we did try and it did seem to end up triggering labour off 🙈

You’re creating and carrying a human! I see so many posts on here of women worried about the lack of sex their husbands are getting. I find it so strange that these men can’t live without sex for a few months? You do not need to feel uncomfortable just to please him or feel horrible raising the subject with him. There’s more to life than sex and it can wait surely?

We had sex til the end, at 38 weeks my water broke at home literally 3 hours after we did the due lol

In a previous pregnancy my waters ruptured at 24 weeks and I was not allowed to have sex. Instead I performed oral. I didn't want to orgasm myself because of my circumstances. But you can absolutely both get off without having sex.
You don't have much longer to go, so I say go with your gut feeling.

Sex will not put you into labor unless your body is ready. I had sex the night before I went into labor. It’s difficult and I won’t lie, I mainly did it for him cuz you’re right, it is uncomfortable. You just need to be honest with him because men don’t really understand exactly HOW uncomfortable pregnancy is on its own let alone having sex at the end of pregnancy. You just need to be forward with him ❤️

My village is missing

This is a late night vent session obviously but l make it short. My boyfriend and I went to a basketball game in Orlando. His sister was babysitting our son. We come back tonight for her to say he slept for 6 hours and just woke up. Now what type of shit is that. I’ve been feeling lately like no one cares for me or helps out in the way I need them to. People want to see you smile but don’t try to find the cause when you’re not. I’m an only child and my mom lives far. I feel very alone even with the dad involved. I feel alone and like I’m doing it all. I can’t even imagine having another kid which I want but this life here is tough

Sex life is 🫠

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠

Whyyy?

I get horny when my man isn’t around but when he’s around and in the mood I’m not. This last Thursday he made me squirt a lot for by birthday. We only get intimate like 2 times a month.

Question about ejaculation

I tell my partner to wear a condom not only for protection but also so that there's no mess to clean up when I get up to use the toilet. Is this normal?
I ask because I now have the contraceptive pill but I still want him to wear a condom.
