Intimacy while pregnant

it was definitely easier before i could feel real movement. i’d talk with him about trying to do more foreplay and stuff to really get you in the mood so you’re not distracted by the baby. try to find something that really works because after the baby is born it could be difficult too. for me it’s harder now to turn off mom-mode and enter wife-mode and our daughter is 6 months old now 😭 i’m just so focused on her but it definitely does help if there’s a lot of foreplay/through-the-day intimacy as opposed to just trying to jump in bed on a whim.

It depends on if you’re working as a working mom or pregnant mom. You have an 8-hr shift, and it really depends on your body and how you want to navigate it. Intimacy cannot be every day, and working with your husband by having him work where you are will be the best approach. We’re carrying a kiddo and experiencing so many symptoms, so working together is always best.

Personally I feel like my sex drive gradually decreases the further I get in my pregnancy. I feel big and it's hard to move around like I used to.
